The Emacs Info reader interprets a line of dots as an underlining below the Info title line, so it hides this line and highlights its preceding line in the face `info-title-4', since dots are used for 4th-level titles, like in: 1.3.7.1 A Sample Function Description ..................................... The current code doesn't take into account the length of the line, so for the Emacs Info reader this case is equivalent to: Here are three dots with the @dots{} on a filled line xxxxxxxxxxxxx ... Perhaps this should be fixed to process such lines only in the case when lengths of underlining and title lines are the same. Or maybe there is a filling bug in the makeinfo program so that it leaves the dangling dots on a line of its own? Wouldn't it be more correct to convert Here are three dots with the @@[EMAIL PROTECTED]@} on a filled line xxxxxxxxxxxxx @dots{} into Here are three dots with the @dots{} on a filled line xxxxxxxxxxxxx... thus not breaking `xxxxxxxxxxxxx...'? -- Juri Linkov http://www.jurta.org/emacs/ _______________________________________________ Emacs-devel mailing list Emacs-devel@gnu.org http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/emacs-devel
