Steps to reproduce: 1. execute command: texi2any --info --no-split --output="$HOME/info" dir.texi dir.texi: ``` \input texinfo @node Top @bye ``` 2. execute command: INFOPATH=$HOME/info info --init-file /dev/null texinfo 3. press ">" to go to the last node 4. press "]" (or M-x global-next-node) Note: In the generated dir.info file, replacing File: dir.info, Node: Top, Up: (dir) with File: dir.info, Node: Top resolves the issue. Question: The doc says: When you create your own ‘dir’ file for use with ‘Info-directory-list’ or ‘INFOPATH’, it's easiest to start by copying an existing ‘dir’ file and replace all the text after the ‘* Menu:’ with your desired entries. That way, the punctuation and special ‘CTRL-_’ characters that Info needs will be present. So is it incorrect to generate dir.info from dir.texi?
