| 112 ** Info "dir" functionality merged from Emacs-19.34 | |
| 113 | |
| 114 All of the directories on `Info-directory-list' will be searched for | |
| 115 "dir" files, which may be full fledged Info files containing subnodes | |
| 116 as well as menus. They are merged to become one directory, with menus | |
| 117 in like-named subnodes being coalesced from the several "dir" files. | |
| 118 | |
| 119 "localdir" files are looked for too, secondary to "dir"'s. If there's | |
| 120 no "dir" in a directory, a "localdir" will be looked for. There can | |
| 121 be one of either "dir" or "localdir" in each of the directories in | |
| 122 `Info-directory-list', which is initialized from `Info-default- | |
| 123 directory-list', which you may customize through the Options menu. | |
| 124 | |
| 125 The first directory specified in `Info-default-directory-list' should | |
| 126 contain a "dir" file that will become the toplevel dir which the | |
| 127 others will be merged into. A "localdir" may optionally contain a | |
| 128 '* Menu:' section, or just entries like those in a menu section, but | |
| 129 no subnodes or info header. You can see what I'm talking about if you | |
| 130 view the "dir" file that comes with XEmacs. It has a header section | |
| 131 that should not be in a "localdir" file. The "localdir" should look | |
| 132 like the `buffer-substring' of XEmacs' stock "dir" from just below | |
| 133 "* Menu:" to the end of the file, optionally also containing the | |
| 134 "* Menu:" line. | |
| 135 | |
| 136 The contents of each "localdir" file will be inserted into the | |
| 137 toplevel "dir" file replacing a '* Locals:' line, OR alternatively, | |
| 138 will insert it below a 'Local*' (that's a regexp) heading line. If | |
| 139 there's more than one "localdir" file, each will either consume a '* | |
| 140 Locals:' line, be catenated to the end of the (dir)Top, or be inserted | |
| 141 under the 'Local' topic header. | |
| 142 | |
| 143 There is a new variable, called `Info-additional-directory-list', | |
| 144 which you may customize also, that can contain a list of directories | |
| 145 in which to search for Info documents, but NOT to search in for "dir" | |
| 146 or "localdir" files. This is useful for things like the Calc package, | |
| 147 which likes its info files in its lisp directory. If you put that | |
| 148 directory in the 'additional list', and a menu entry for it in one of | |
| 149 your "dir" or "localdir" files, a click on a menu entry for it will be | |
| 150 able to find the Info file. | |
