Seconded. The proposed "solutions" to this problem break a lot of other things and gloss over the simple fact that the text should be changed in the buffer, really. The only reason I can imagine not to do so would be if info buffer positions were stored somewhere as integers. But then one should rather fix that instead of breaking every other package. -- David Kastrup, Kriemhildstr. 15, 44793 Bochum _______________________________________________ Emacs-devel mailing list Emacs-devel@gnu.org http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/emacs-devel
