AW: problems with display of info files in emacs

[Rubey Martin]

I'm afraid I found a very disappointing reason for the footnote problem:

http://osdir.com/ml/help-texinfo-gnu/2015-09/msg00003.html

Apparently, emacs 24 interprets anything which looks like (1234) as a footnote.

Given this, I'm not sure anymore whether it's worth trying to produce texinfo 
documentation for sage, because having something like (3) is very very common 
in the documentation.

However, this doesn't explain why info jumps to bad places - again, this seems 
to be an emacs, not an info problem.

any ideas oor suggestions?
