Eli, could you please provide a pointer to some documentation of what such a "properly formatted reference to an Info manual" looks like in an HTML document? I think I could use this if I understood it better; and I must admit that I was certainly unaware of the possibility. Clearly my lack of knowledge about this possibility is one reason for our earlier failure to communicate. Given that the mechanism you mention would only work if one were using emacs as his browser, the argument, as I understand it, still strikes me as being somewhat irrelevant. I personally would rather use a full-function browser like Firefox, and I suspect this would also be true for a large fraction of folks who might be consulting the Wiki. Can such a reference be formulated and Firefox be configured in such a way that even Firefox itself could fire up emacs's Info reader? (It would certainly be possible to associate a 'file' type with a gnudoit type of call.) Regards, David V.
