It appears not to be consistent. We have this in the texinfo source:


@fnindex N'th previous output

with a real apostrohpe. The info file has


* N'th previous output:                  Functions and Variables for Command Line.

and that’s also a real apostrophe. Don’t know what’s different between the two cases.
I'm guessing that @fnindex is the index of function names, in which
case it generates a "code" typeface, where ASCII characters are not
converted to their Unicode typographical equivalents.

So this is consistent, jut not the kind of consistency you expected.

Ah, that makes sense. Except that it’s not really a function. For context, we do:


@anchor{%th}
@deffn {Function} %th (@var{i})
@fnindex N'th previous output

Not sure what else we should do here. I’ll have to play around with the customization variables to see what I can do.

Thanks for you help.
