Re: New @link command for plain links

[Andreas Falkenhahn]

I don't know if it's related to the new @link command or if it's a general new 
feature but I've observed the following:

When using texi2pdf with my old version of texinfo.tex, only the page number of 
entries in the table of contents was actually clickable and was highlighted 
using the link colour. 

With the new version of texinfo.tex almost everything in the TOC is a link now, 
i.e. chapter index, chapter title and page number of the entries are now 
clickable and they are all highlighted using the link colour. Since my link 
colour is defined as dark red my whole table of contents appears in dark red 
now because everything in the table of contents seems to be a link now. 

Is there any way to get the old behaviour back for the table of contents?
