Hello, This may be a question to Emacs developpers instead, but my guess is that most may be on this list too, and that it is relevant to discuss this issue in the context of this list, because it is actually an Info format issue.
In the Texinfo manual it is said, in "Tag Files and Split Files" that If a Texinfo file has more than 30,000 bytes, texinfo-format-buffer automatically creates a tag table for its Info file Which means that it the Texinfo file has less than 30,000 bytes, there won't be any tag table. Is it still true? If it is not true, I can update the documentation. But if it is true, it is problematic as the resulting Info file would not follow the Info format specification which is described in the Texinfo manual appendix. My view is that it should be the texinfo-format-buffer command that should be changed (as well as other Emacs commands that could have a similar effect), but other may disagree. If it is ok to have an Info file without Tag table, however, the Info format specification in the Texinfo manual needs to be updated to be accurate, and, in that case, it would be nice to have input from Emacs developers/users who know what is the format of in Info file without tag table. -- Pat
