;; Yes, (setq Info-enable-edit t) ; If you're a writer You might also need to M-x toggle-read-only so you can edit the file, and unless you have write-access to the info directory, you'll need to write it out elsewhere (probably a good idea until you get things right. (See Info-validate.) Writing raw info files builds character. I have some mods which where posted here in Jan/Feb, and make node creation easier by asking if you want to create it when you try to go to one that doesn't exist. You can these patches from nl.cs.cmu.edu:/usr/toad/pub/info/info/ (128.2.222.56); info.patches for the patches, or just get all the new versions there. It'll make writing raw info easier. Builds character. Writing Texinfo is better, since you get automatic index creation, and optional nice hardcopy. If you use infosim then you can hop around a texinfo file just like you can with an info file. And if you write using para mode, you get full automatic menu/node update, easy cross-reference, etc., a superset of Info, and more features. Hyper. -todd the manual
