I've added the following code snippet to my init file:
(eval-after-load 'info
'(add-to-list 'Info-additional-directory-list
(concat (straight--build-dir "auctex") "doc")))
Then I will see the Info-additional-directory-list as follows by `C-h
v Info-additional-directory-list RET`:
Info-additional-directory-list is a variable defined in ‘info.el’.
Its value is ("/home/werner/.emacs.d/straight/build/auctex/doc")
Original value was nil
But even so, the auctex info node still doesn't appear in the INFO
tree when I hit `C-h i RET`.
