+;;; Commentary:
+
+;; This file implements some simple checking of external cross references in
+;; info files, by attempting to visit the nodes specified.
+;;
+;; "makeinfo" checks references internal to a document, but not external
+;; references, which makes it rather easy for mistakes to creep in or node
+;; name changes to go unnoticed. `Info-validate' doesn't check external
+;; references either.
+;;
+;; `M-x info-xref-check' checks one file. When invoked from an Info-mode or
+;; texinfo-mode buffer, the current info file is the default at the prompt.
+;;
+;; `M-x info-xref-check-all' looks at everything in the normal info path.
+;; This might be a lot of files but it's a good way to check the consistency
+;; of the whole system.
+;;
+;; Results are shown in a buffer. The format is a bit rough, but hopefully
+;; there won't be too many problems normally, and correcting them is a
+;; manual process anyway, a case of finding the right spot in the original
+;; .texi and finding what node it ought to point to.
+;;
+;; When a target info file doesn't exist there's clearly no way to validate
+;; node references within it. A message is given for missing target files
+;; (once per source document), it could be simply that the target hasn't
+;; been installed, or it could be a mistake in the reference.
+;;
+;; Indirect info files are understood, just pass the top-level foo.info to
+;; `info-xref-check' and it traverses all sub-files. Compressed info files
+;; are accepted too, as usual for `Info-mode'.
+;;
+;; `info-xref-check-all' is rather permissive in what it considers an info
+;; file. It has to be since info files don't necessarily have a ".info"
+;; suffix (eg. this is usual for the emacs manuals). One consequence of
+;; this is that if for instance there's a source code directory in
+;; `Info-directory-list' then a lot of extraneous files might be read, which
+;; will be time consuming but should be harmless.
+
+
+;;; Install:
+
+;; Put info-xref.el somewhere in your `load-path', and in your .emacs put
+;;
+;; (autoload 'info-xref-check "info-xref" nil t)
+;; (autoload 'info-xref-check-all "info-xref" nil t)
+;;
+;; then
+;;
+;; M-x info-xref-check
+;;
+;; and enter an info file name.
