Today's GNU Emacs CVS snapshot, Sat, 2006 Jul 8 12:11 UTC
GNU Emacs 22.0.50.27 (i686-pc-linux-gnu, GTK+ Version 2.8.18)
started with
/usr/local/src/emacs/src/emacs -Q -D
and with the following evaluated:
(setq Info-hide-note-references nil)
On evaluating (info "(texinfo)ref"), I do not see a `see' before
address@hidden'. That is because customarily I give
`Info-hide-note-references' a value of nil.
That matches the documentation, which says
8.6 address@hidden'
==========
address@hidden' is nearly the same as address@hidden' except that it does
not generate a
`See' in the printed output, just the reference itself.
However, David Kastrup does see `see' plus the reference, not just the
reference itself. That is because he accepts the default, in which
the value of `Info-hide-note-references' is t.
`describe-variable' on `Info-hide-note-references' (in the plain
vanilla Emacs as described above, after loading `info') says
Info-hide-note-references is a variable defined in `info.el'.
Its value is t
Documentation:
*If non-nil, hide the tag and section reference in *note and * menu items.
If value is non-nil but not `hide', also replaces the "*note" with "see".
If value is non-nil but not t or `hide', the reference section is
still shown.
`nil' completely disables this feature.
This is very interesting. The format is more variable than I
remembered. You cannot use `see' in a document that may be output in
various ways.
As David Kastrup says, following Eli,
I think adding "and" should do the trick here.
and I agree.
