Add index entries around each paragraph rather than depend on entries from beginning of node. Doing so ensures that index entries are less likely to be forgotten if text is cut and pasted, and are necessary anyway if the references are on a separate page. It seems that makeinfo is now (v. 4.8) only producing one index entry per node, so there is no longer any excuse not to. Use subheading instead of heading. The incorrect use of heading produced very large fonts in Info--as large as the main heading. (From Bill Wohler): MH-E never did appear in Emacs 21--MH-E versions 6 and 7 appeared *around* the time of these Emacs releases.

;;; Code:

;; This is a good place to gather code that is used for compatibility
;; between different versions of Emacs. Please document which versions
;; of Emacs that the defsubst, defalias, or defmacro applies. That
;; way, it's easy to occasionally go through this file and see which
;; macros we can retire.

;; Please use mh-gnus.el when providing compatibility with different
;; versions of Gnus.

;; Items are listed alphabetically (except for mh-require which is
;; needed by a lesser character).

  "Return a suitable search path for images relative to LIBRARY.

First it searches for IMAGE in a path suitable for LIBRARY, which
includes \"../../etc/images\" and \"../etc/images\" relative to
the library file itself, followed by `image-load-path' and
`load-path'.

Then this function returns a list of directories which contains
first the directory in which IMAGE was found, followed by the
value of `load-path'. If PATH is given, it is used instead of
`load-path'.

If NO-ERROR is non-nil and a suitable path can't be found, don't
signal an error. Instead, return a list of directories as before,
except that nil appears in place of the image directory.

Here is an example that uses a common idiom to provide
compatibility with versions of Emacs that lack the variable
`image-load-path':

    ;; Avoid errors on Emacsen without `image-load-path'.
