GNU Emacs 18.52
The Texinfo @refill directive can break lines in the midst of "*Note
..." Info cross-references. `M-x Info-validate' does not complain about
these references, but when `f' is used (from Info) to follow them, the
reference fails.
For example, from an old version of the manual for the VM mail reader:
(examples indented 3 spaces)
When sending messages from within VM, you will always use the standard
Mail major mode provided with GNU Emacs. @xref{Mail Mode,,,emacs, the
GNU Emacs Manual}. However, @samp{*mail*} buffers created by VM have
extra command keys:@refill
yields after `M-x texinfo-format-buffer'
When sending messages from within VM, you will always use the standard
Mail major mode provided with GNU Emacs. *Note Mail Mode: (emacs)Mail
Mode. However, `*mail*' buffers created by VM have extra command keys:
Typing `f Mail Mode' from the node containing this text will fail with
No such node: "Mail"
which suggests that the Info-follow-reference command is looking for
"Mail" rather than "Mail Mode".
