The manual continues, at node > `info:org#Search options', to describe how specific positions within > file links can be directly specified. This does work for links to > regular files, but does not work for positions within an info node (eg. > line 85 of node x). Is there an official format for the line numbers in Info cross-references? (info "(texinfo) Printing Indices & Menus") documents the format of line numbers only in the index, not in the cross-references: * In Info output, `@printindex' produces a special menu containing the line number of the entry, relative to the start of the node. Info readers can use this to go to the exact line of an entry, not just the containing node. (Older Info readers will just go to the node.) Here's an example: * First index entry: Top. (line 7) The actual number of spaces is variable, to right-justify the line number; it's been reduced here to make the line fit in the printed manual. The Info reader already supports this format in the index.
