24.5; doc string of `Info-history' |
|

The doc string of `Info-find-emacs-command-nodes' refers you to variable
`Info-history' for the format of the locations.
But the doc for `Info-history' says nothing about FILENAME, NODENAME,
and BUFFERPOS.
Instead, those are described in `Info-find-emacs-command-nodes'.
Something is backwards here, and/or missing. Why refer to "the format
used in the variable `Info-history' if consulting that variable tells
you less about the format that what you are told before sending you
there?
Also, the language in the last sentence of the doc string for
`Info-find-emacs-command-nodes' is not so good. I'm guessing that
this might be what is really meant:
", where BUFFERPOS is the line number
of the first element of the returned list (which is treated specially
in `Info-goto-emacs-command-node'), and 0 for the other elements of
the list."
But why the parenthetical remark, and what it really means, I have
no idea.
