I've now pushed these changes to master as 75278855f4a. Closing this 
bug. Of course, if there are any other areas we should add to the Eshell 
documentation, just let me know (probably in a new bug).

Emacs 28 from master branch (HEAD 8ebd8e1fea1d0d925850db97b64bf13a6a1f698b)

1. Open Info (C-h i)
2. Search for Eshell (C-s Eshell)
3. Navigate to 'Extension modules'
4. All child pages are empty:
   * Writing a module
   * Module testing
   * Directory handling
   * Key rebinding:
   * Smart scrolling
   * Terminal emulation

I checked the git history of file 'doc/misc/eshell.texi' and indeed
these sections are empty.

I suggest to either document these sections or remove these entries from
Info to avoid confusion.
