Subject: WIBNI there was a URL-syntax way of referring to the manual?

Message-ID: <vxkitfm9gmx.fsf@cinnamon.vanillaknot.com> (raw)
Often in gnu.emacs.gnus, we answer questions for people by including a
reference or road map to the *Info* pages. Wouldn't it be neat if we
borrowed the URL syntax so as to be able to give Gnusers direct access
to the manual?
That is, what if "info://Gnus/Select_Methods" pulled up the Gnus
*Info* pages and picked off section "Select Methods"? And
"info://Message/Mail_Variables" did the similar obvious thing?
The only transformation needed would be `_' -> SPC, or else the "%20"
syntax hack. The latter would be seriously ugly, IMO. Can this be
done case-insensitively?
This would be a highly Gnus-centric view of life, but heck, it would
be such a nice thing to be able to do when discussing Gnus among
fellow Gnusers.
