Hello, I noticed an old FIXME note in coreutils.texi and TODO about info pages for these programs. Is there still a need/desire for them? I notice that `man [' opens the manpage for `test' so I assume there isn't much need for a separate one. When opening the man page for pinky the SEE ALSO section shows the following:Full documentation <https://www.gnu.org/software/coreutils/pinky> or available locally via: info '(coreutils) pinky invocation' Since the page doesn't have a section the link leads to a page not found screen and info will say it cannot find the given node. I think that, if anything, it would be nice to have a pinky section just so people aren't linked to an invalid page from the generated manual. I would be willing to write it but I figured I should ask for thoughts here first.
'[' is described in the 'test' man and info pages, so that's probably best to leave as is. Actually we should add '[' to the index, which I've now done like: @pindex test +@pindex [ A basic info page for pinky would be appreciated. thanks! Pádraig
