emacs info documentation different color for nodes/headers

69 Views Asked by At

when I launch info documentation for general Emacs or the specific one for Org-mode, there are some nodes which show up with white color stars (asterisks) and others with red stars. What does this mean? What is the difference?

Simplest way to learn about this specific face is to navigate to it and run M-x customize-face. If you do it, it will say that this face has name info-menu-star and in description you'll see:

Face for every third * in an Info menu.

The other menu items just use normal face. So it's just simplifying perception of the long menus.
