| - `emacs' (Emacs style): (info "(file)node")
| - `emacs-press': as `emacs' plus a note about `C-x C-e'
| - `emacs-keys-goto' (Emacs key sequence): `C-h i g (file)node RET'
| - `emacs-keys-menu' (Emacs menu key sequence): `C-h i d m file RET m node RET'
| - `custom-manual': ":link '(custom-manual "(file)node")" for `defcustom'
| - `info-link': ":link '(info-link "(file)node")" for `defcustom'
| - `texinfo-ref-full': A full "@ref{...}" for Texinfo
| - `texinfo-ref': "@ref{...}" for Texinfo within the same file
| - `gnus' (the Gnus home brewed style): <info://foo/bar+baz> (deprecated)
| - `gnome' (GNOME style): <info:foo#bar_baz>
| - `kde' (KDE style): <info:(foo)bar baz>
| - `konqueror' (Konqueror style): <info:/foo/bar baz>
|
