Well, we often do have footnotes...

(I admit that I fail to understand why info does not keep the information from 
the texi file.  It would be very nice to navigate to footnotes, but since we 
often have things like "busy_beaver(3)" appearing in the text, and three 
footnotes, info is unable to find out where to jump to...)

I guess I should, but that means that info is not very useful for viewing sage 
documentation right now.  Well, let's try to find out why the links don't work 
first, I sent you an email concerning this.

Best wishes,

Martin
