Others will say the problem is simply that we allow `:', but assuming we
still want to allow colon despite the obvious ambiguity, I think the patch
below should help.
It uses regexp matching rather than combinations of skip-chars-forward
and stuff. The reason for the change is because, by using regexp-matching,
we can take advantage of its backtracking to resolve the ambiguity.
Problem is that it still fails on:
* name1:foo:node. des:cription.
I believe we should wait to install any patches until we can agree on
the specs. In particular, I will wait with my proposed patch to
Info-extract-menu-node-name until such specs are agreed upon. I
personally do not have any strong opinions in this matter, but it
certainly is important to come up with specs that both Richard and
Karl can agree on. I was not a part of previous discussions on the
topic and have not the slightest idea what Richard's views are. These
could have changed, due to recent examples and problems.
Sincerely,
Luc.
