Perhaps makeinfo should produce a warning about it, but still
It does now (in the current sources, in some circumstances).
[ \t\n]+\*[Nn]ote[ \t\n]+
There are many cases where the preceding character is not whitespace,
such as (@pxref{foo}) -> (*note foo::). So that part of the proposed
regexp won't work.
However, I cannot find or think of any case where the *following*
character will not be whitespace. Looking at makeinfo/xref.c and
texinfmt.el, it looks to me like when *[nN]ote is output, it is always
followed by a space. So it seems this would be a good improvement!
I don't think anything else generates Info files, and even if it does,
it seems highly unlikely it would output anything else.
Eli, can you think of a way
\*[Nn]ote[ \t\n]+
could fail? I also looked in all the dozens of info files installed on
my system, and could not find any problematic cases.
As Juri says, there are tons of places where "*Note*" is output for
various reasons. It would be nice if it just worked, this has been a
longstanding nagging problem.
Thanks,
