It then falls back on a kludgy feature, whereby typing "info foo" from the shell prompt looks for a _file_ 'foo' or 'foo.info', on the assumption that the bozo^H^H^H^Huser forgot to type -f, as in "info -f foo". IOW, the above dir file abuses a kludge in the Info reader introduced to shut up all those who complain because they cannot be bothered to invoke the reader as prescribed in the documentation. In any case, this kludge is for invoking the Info reader from the shell prompt, not for navigating inside Info files. IOW, this is actually a buglet in Info, which therefore can disappear without notice. > With the attached patch, Emacs regards the above format in a dir node > as info file names. This patch is incorrect. It treats the dir file specially, whereas it is simply an Info file with a menu, and nothing prevents the Cygwin maintainers from putting such menu items in any other Info files. More importantly, it tramps on a useful feature, whereby a reference such as "foo::" is actually a shortcut for "(dir)foo::". So I hope we will not accept this change. But thanks for reporting the problem and for working on it.

Maybe I should explain why I'm so agitated about this. You see, I wrote the code which is responsible for interpreting "foo::" as a reference to a file "foo" if there's no menu item by that name. I wrote that code, under protest, more than 12 years ago, only because the head maintainer asked for that, in order to stop complaints that "info SOMETHING" didn't show the manual for that SOMETHING. So imagine how I feel 12 years later when I see that a kludge concocted in order to cater to some user sloppiness is now treated as a first-class feature, and Emacs is requested to follow suit. Sorry if my response sounded harsh.

The contents is below. 7.4 Less Cluttered Menu Entry ============================= When the menu entry name and node name are the same, you can write the name immediately after the asterisk and space at the beginning of the line and follow the name with two colons. For example, write * Name:: DESCRIPTION instead of * Name: Name. DESCRIPTION We recommend using the node name for the menu entry name whenever possible, since it reduces visual clutter in the menu. -- Shigeru From debbugs-submit-bounces@debbugs.gnu.org Mon May 12 14:30:43 2014 Received: (at 17476) by debbugs.gnu.org; 12 May 2014 18:30:43 +0000 Received: from localhost ([127.0.0.1]:32806 helo=debbugs.gnu.org) by debbugs.gnu.org with esmtp (Exim 4.80) (envelope-from ) id 1Wjuzq-0005Bs-R0 for submit@debbugs.gnu.org; Mon, 12 May 2014 14:30:43 -0400 Received: from mtaout25.012.net.il ([80.179.55.181]:54359) by debbugs.gnu.org with esmtp (Exim 4.80) (envelope-from ) id 1Wjuzm-0005BT-4z for 17476@debbugs.gnu.org; Mon, 12 May 2014 14:30:39 -0400 Received: from conversion-daemon.mtaout25.012.net.il by mtaout25.012.net.il (HyperSendmail v2007.08) id <0N5H003004KUSK00@mtaout25.012.net.il> for 17476@debbugs.gnu.org; Mon, 12 May 2014 21:27:40 +0300 (IDT) Received: from HOME-C4E4A596F7 ([87.69.4.28]) by mtaout25.012.net.il (HyperSendmail v2007.08) with ESMTPA id <0N5H001494M3RR20@mtaout25.012.net.il>; Mon, 12 May 2014 21:27:40 +0300 (IDT) Date: Mon, 12 May 2014 21:30:22 +0300 From: Eli Zaretskii Subject: Re: bug#17476: 24.3.91; [PATCH] unimplemented info entry In-reply-to: <27CF6E0B0A0A7Fshigeru.fukaya@gmail.com> X-012-Sender: halo1@inter.net.il To: Shigeru Fukaya Message-id: <83vbtaq281.fsf@gnu.org> References: <26CF6DFA759674shigeru.fukaya@gmail.com> <83y4y7os42.fsf@gnu.org> <27CF6E0B0A0A7Fshigeru.fukaya@gmail.com> X-Spam-Score: 1.0 (+) X-Debbugs-Envelope-To: 17476 Cc: 17476@debbugs.gnu.org X-BeenThere: debbugs-submit@debbugs.gnu.org X-Mailman-Version: 2.1.15 Precedence: list Reply-To: Eli Zaretskii List-Id: List-Unsubscribe: , List-Archive: List-Post: List-Help: List-Subscribe: , Errors-To: debbugs-submit-bounces@debbugs.gnu.org Sender: "Debbugs-submit" X-Spam-Score: 1.0 (+) > From: Shigeru Fukaya > Cc: 17476@debbugs.gnu.org > Date: Tue, 13 May 2014 02:53:10 +0900 > > >This is invalid Info.

Valid, assuming the menu item is a _node_ name: When the menu entry name and node name are the same, you can write the name immediately after the asterisk and space at the beginning of the line and follow the name with two colons. For example, write * Name:: DESCRIPTION instead of * Name: Name. DESCRIPTION As you see, "Name" here is the name of a node, not of a file. What is invalid is to write * foobar:: and assume that Info will look for a _file_ named "foobar".
