So I go to Substitutes and see this: The 'hydra.gnu.org' server is a front-end to a build farm that builds packages from the GNU distribution continuously for some architectures, and makes them available as substitutes. This is the default source of substitutes; it can be overridden by passing the '--substitute-urls' option either to 'guix-daemon' (*note 'guix-daemon --substitute-urls': daemon-substitute-urls.) or to client tools such as 'guix package' (*note client '--substitute-urls' option: client-substitute-urls.). I put the cursor over the first cross-reference, on 'guix-daemon --substitute-urls'. (I get there by pressing Tab, if it makes a difference.) Then I press return, and come to the node (guix.info)Invoking guix-daemon, with the cursor at the start of the following paragraph: Consider URLS the default whitespace-separated list of substitute source URLs. When this option is omitted, 'http://hydra.gnu.org' is used. I checked the source for this and it's: @item --substitute-urls=@var{urls} @anchor{daemon-substitute-urls} Consider @var{urls} the default whitespace-separated list of substitute source URLs. When this option is omitted, @indicateurl{http://hydra.gnu.org} is used. This means that substitutes may be downloaded from @var{urls}, as long as they are signed by a trusted signature (@pxref{Substitutes}). so it went to the right place. A similar result happened for following the second cross-reference in that paragraph. I tried this with hide-note-references=On and hide-note-references=Off in.infokey and it made no difference. Finally I thought I'd try in in a UTF-8 terminal: this made all the difference: it jumps to the end of a node, nowhere near these anchors. I'll investigate the reason for this.
