Yes and no: You are right, this is about node names and as such they are not printed on their page (the section title is, which allows markup). However, the node name will be shown in links to those nodes. Unfortunately, with our current way of using @rlearning etc, I don't know any way to get the links to show backslashes... The @ref command has a third argument, which controls the displayed text, but our definitions in macros.texi don't use this third argument. Unfortunately, using @ref directly is also no option because (1) it breaks with big-page and (2) if we ever change the names of our manuals, we'll have to go through all the documentation and the point of using macros.itexi is made mood. The only solution I see is to also define two-argument macros similar to @rlearning and the like, where the second argument gives the displayed text. These could then also be used in the "About ....." sections of the LM (see my other mail "Uses of @ref for xrefs in our docs" to the list).
