Bug#170472: info: top Info pages of different packages wildly differ
Package: info Version: 4.1-2 Severity: normal Gentlemen, the top Info pages of different packages wildly differ: e.g. $ info m4 has a nice header GNU m4 but $ info gawk has a lower level header 'General introduction', while $ info yorick has a menu without a header, while $ info emacs says the emacs editor, even better than GNU m4 which doesn't mention if it is an editor or a language, etc. Therefore folks should make top Info nodes with proper headers. How about a debian Info pages policy. -- System Information Debian Release: 3.0 Architecture: i386 Kernel: Linux debian 2.4.18-k7 #1 Sun Apr 14 13:19:11 EST 2002 i686 Locale: LANG=zh_TW.Big5, LC_CTYPE=zh_TW.Big5 Versions of packages info depends on: ii libc62.2.5-6 GNU C Library: Shared libraries an ii libncurses5 5.2.20020112a-7 Shared libraries for terminal hand

It doesn't even mention Emacs or where to find documentation on the standalone program (info 'info standalone'). Peter De Wachter
