Hi Kim,
I'm writing in relation to defcustom Info-hide-note-references t in
lisp/info.el
a9efebd0ba1 (Kim 2002-11-01 306) (defcustom Info-hide-note-references t
because it's a bad default to proper info documentation
as said in (texinfo) @ref documentation
https://www.gnu.org/software/texinfo/manual/texinfo/html_node/_0040ref.html
,---------------------------------------------------------------------------
| 6.6 @ref
| @ref is nearly the same as @xref except that it does not generate a ‘See’
| in the printed output, just the reference itself.
| This makes it useful as the last part of a sentence.
|
| For example,
|
| For more information, @pxref{This}, and @ref{That}.
| produces in Info:
|
(*)| For more information, *note This::, and *note That::.
| and in printed output:
|
| For more information, see Section 1.1 [This], page 1, and Section 1.2
[That], page 2.
`---------------------------------------------------------------------------
but with current info.el default in emacs shows
(*)| For more information, see [This]., and see [That].
(
A part that with only two examples (texinfo) @ref it's not very clear that
there are three cases:
@ref
@xref
@pxref
)
As I intended it, the second "see" should absolutely not be present,
Info-hide-note-references is already customize-able to nil(=compliant)
or hide(my preference), but the current default of t is(seem to me)
not at all as designed in texinfo,
for example python info documentation was plenty of misplaced
``See`` ... ``.`` (which is the reason I looked into the origin of the
problem) and found it: @ref should have not a processing for info that
add "See" as should while processing @xref, than the pxref is to
distinguish printed rendering.
I will not insist over this trivial change,
if ever you disagree you can also ignore the request
Cheers,
Marco Munari
