Hi, The Texinfo manual says:
Unfortunately, you cannot use periods, commas, colons or parentheses within a node name Yet makeinfo happily accepts such node names with no complaint. I really can't see why you would not warn about such things by default. I'm not the first to say this: http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/bug-texinfo/2007-12/msg00031.html http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/bug-texinfo/2006-12/msg00016.html Previously, the explanation was given: Because in practice most people prefer to live with the invalid node names and the slight bogosity in the resulting Info files than obfuscate them for the sake of makeinfo :). Surely these people can live with the warnings, or use --no-warn? Maybe the brave new world of makeinfo 5 can revisit this?
