[Message part 2 (message/rfc822, inline)]

From: dmoncayo <at> gmail.com
To: bug-gnu-emacs <at> gnu.org
Subject: 24.3.50; Doc bug in "(eintr) Change a defun"
Date: Tue, 06 Aug 2013 23:38:07 +0200

The following paragraph is in the info node mentioned in the subject:

     *Note Beginning a `.emacs' File.emacs File, and *note
  Comments(elisp) for more about comments.

There seems to be a problem in its first cross reference, because:
* The link is broken.
* The part ".emacs File" just after the link doesn't make sense.

(I guess that the problem is due to the use of "@file" inside "@xref")
