Maybe not; it looks like @anchor{} allows @xref and friends to work to alias names, but doesn't add entries to the menu, and 'info' is using just menu names for its shorthand. I don't know [tex]info well enough to know if what I'm suggesting is even feasible, only that I've used @anchor in the past when renaming nodes in order to keep the rest of the manual working where it uses @xref. -- Eric Blake eblake redhat com +1-919-301-3266 Libvirt virtualization library http://libvirt.org
