bug#6206: 23.1; docstring info node links with newlines


From: Kevin Ryde
Subject: bug#6206: 23.1; docstring info node links with newlines
Date: Tue, 18 May 2010 10:46:31 +1000
User-agent: Gnus/5.110011 (No Gnus v0.11) Emacs/23.1 (gnu/linux)

In a docstring has an info link with a newline in it like

(defun foo ()
  "Foo.
Info node `(emacs)File
Variables'."
  nil)

The link is buttonized by M-x describe-function, but pressing Ret on the
button gets an error

    No such node or anchor: File

The end of `gnus-level-unsubscribed' is an example of this -- though it
has a separate problem of needing the manual name `(gnus)Group Levels'.

        * help-mode.el (help-make-xrefs): For info node links turn
        newlines into spaces.  Link node names with newlines are matched
        by help-xref-info-regexp and buttonized, this change ensures they
        can be followed successfully with Ret.
