Documentation

List of definitions of virtual Info nodes.

Each element of the list has the form (NODENAME (OPERATION . HANDLER) EXTRA) where NODENAME is a regexp that matches a class of virtual Info node names, it should be carefully chosen to not cause node name clashes with existing node names; OPERATION is the symbol find-node; and HANDLER is a function to call when OPERATION is invoked on a virtual Info node. EXTRA, if present, is one or more cons cells specifying extra attributes important to some applications which use this data. For example, desktop saving and desktop restoring use the slow attribute to avoid restoration of nodes that could be expensive to compute.
