The shipped version translates all of @b, @i, @s, and @r to
<lineannotation>, when generating docbook. This makes @b, @i, and @s
effectively be no-ops, which is wrong.
I think the right solution is to only emit lineannotation for @r,
and use the "default" result for the others.
Thanks Per.
We're approaching another release of texinfo, where the C implementation
of makeinfo will be replaced by a Perl implementation (a vastly extended
version of texi2html, thanks to Patrice Dumas).
Patrice, can you change texi2html to do as Per suggests?
Thanks,
