26 ;; This is some simple checking of external cross references in info files,
27 ;; docstrings and custom-links by attempting to visit the nodes specified.
29 ;; `M-x info-xref-check' checks a single info file. See the docstring for
32 ;; `M-x info-xref-check-all' checks all info files in Info-directory-list.
33 ;; This is a good way to check the consistency of the whole system.
35 ;; `M-x info-xref-check-all-custom' loads up all defcustom variables and
36 ;; checks any info references in them.
38 ;; `M-x info-xref-docstrings' checks docstring "Info node ..." hyperlinks in
39 ;; source files (and other files).
