Fixed in git, 403e87c0.

I've also removed the mistaken commas before "for more info". This means, however, that in the printed manual (make -C doc nano.pdf) the commas after the page numbers will be missing. But that can't be helped: that is just texinfo being stupid (it adds a parenthetical comma before the number, so it should add one after it too -- if the xref is not followed by punctuation).

To see what I mean, look at https://nano-editor.org/dist/v2.7/nano.html and search for the string "see see" (without the quotes). There are eight occurrences of this.

The thing is, I interpret "Note" as a noun, but texinfo intends it to be read as a verb. So for me the thing reads fine in the Info document ("See note..."), but in HTML (and in printed output) the "Note" gets replaced with a "See" (and in the Info document too when the vaiable 'hide-note-references' is set to On). :|
