Re: [AUCTeX] Texinfo: mark environment and mark section/node

[Ralf Angeli]

As mentioned in our discussion last June, it is better to talk about
development topics on the development list.  So I'm crossposting this to
auctex-devel and setting a Mail-Followup-To.

This patch is an early one.  The most recent one should be from June 24,
2010.

Looking at the last messages in the discussion we had, the main issue I
still had with the patch was that `Texinfo-mark-section' marks both
sections and nodes.  It would be better if there were two separate
functions for these functionalities.
