Looks like @ref should be used more often to get rid of all those "see".
Also why is ::= quoted but | is not?
@ref *is* used. I think it may be best to just drop thus cross-references
in info mode.
OK. Then I guess it's an Emacs info-mode bug/deficiency.
It's an info *format* deficiency. It deliberately loses information
present in the texinfo source file, so it can be displayed conveniently
in emacs - which these days could make use of that font information -
except we've thrown it away!
info-mode should be fixed to be able to read html files produced by
makeinfo.
Then it could display font information on displays that can support it -
which is basically all of them.
