Re: Info-validate: Some observations and questions

APA> Hello \(tex\)?info experts! APA> Another big texi patch from me is lurking around the corner, so APA> beware! APA> 2. xrefs containing spaces may be folded during paragraph filling in APA> `texinfo-format-buffer'. This will cause false "invalid reference APA> ..." errors. APA> I have fixed this problem by replacing "[ \t]+" inside reference APA> names with single spaces. APA> Q: Is this the Right Thing to do? I think so now since this is what Info-follow-reference is doing: (setq i 0) (while (setq i (string-match "[ \n\t]+" str i)) (setq str (concat (substring str 0 i) " " (substring str (match-end 0)))) (setq i (1+ i))) I acomplish the same thing with: (setq name (replace-in-string name "[ \t]+" " ")) in a patch to (defun Info-validate-node-name (kind &optional name) which will follow. APA> 3. Info-validate complains about (at least) the following invalid APA> references. All of these are not real xrefs but rather `Notes' APA> written in the texi sources. Constructs as ＠strong{Note:} and APA> ＠emph{NOTE:} are wrong according to the Texinfo manual: APA> *Caution:* Do not use `＠emph' or `＠strong' with the word `Note'; APA> Info will mistake the combination for a cross reference. Use a APA> phrase such as *Please note* or *Caution* instead. APA> Q: Is it acceptable if I change all occurences from ...{note.?} to APA> ...{[Pp]lease note.?}? I'll just go ahead and do that tomorrow. Any suggestions til then?
