   Refilling to fit normal window width (fill-column) is okay; but
   spreading all over a 132 or more width window is not.  It might be
   worth introducing a new variable like `info-fill-column'.

I was actually asking the question to whomever the original quote:

      > is done in the standalone info generation, too.

came from.  You seemed to attribute it to David Kastrup, but I seemed
unable to find this quote in David's old messages.

I agree with you that spreading text all over the window width could
look ugly.  But note that `fill-column' can be given mode-local values
using mode hooks, so there would not seem to be any particular need
for hyper-specialized variables like `info-fill-column'.

Sincerely,

Luc.
