24 ;;; Commentary:
26 ;; This file implements some simple checking of external cross references in
27 ;; info files, by attempting to visit the nodes specified.
29 ;; "makeinfo" checks references internal to a document, but not external
30 ;; references, which makes it rather easy for mistakes to creep in or node
31 ;; name changes to go unnoticed. `Info-validate' doesn't check external
32 ;; references either.
34 ;; `M-x info-xref-check' checks one file. When invoked from an Info-mode or
35 ;; texinfo-mode buffer, the current info file is the default at the prompt.
37 ;; `M-x info-xref-check-all' looks at everything in the normal info path.
38 ;; This might be a lot of files but it's a good way to check the consistency
39 ;; of the whole system.
41 ;; Results are shown in a buffer. The format is a bit rough, but hopefully
42 ;; there won't be too many problems normally, and correcting them is a
43 ;; manual process anyway, a case of finding the right spot in the original
44 ;; .texi and finding what node it ought to point to.
46 ;; When a target info file doesn't exist there's clearly no way to validate
47 ;; node references within it. A message is given for missing target files
48 ;; (once per source document), it could be simply that the target hasn't
49 ;; been installed, or it could be a mistake in the reference.
51 ;; Indirect info files are understood, just pass the top-level foo.info to
52 ;; `info-xref-check' and it traverses all sub-files. Compressed info files
53 ;; are accepted too, as usual for `Info-mode'.
55 ;; `info-xref-check-all' is rather permissive in what it considers an info
56 ;; file. It has to be since info files don't necessarily have a ".info"
57 ;; suffix (eg. this is usual for the emacs manuals). One consequence of
58 ;; this is that if for instance there's a source code directory in
59 ;; `Info-directory-list' then a lot of extraneous files might be read, which
60 ;; will be time consuming but should be harmless.
62 ;; `M-x info-xref-check-all-custom' is a related command, it goes through
63 ;; all info document references in customizable variables, checking them
64 ;; like info file cross references.
