Re: testing new texinfo.tex
Bug in Texinfo. It looks like this texinfo.tex can't deal with \ in
section titles. But \ is not supposed to be a special character in
Texinfo files.
Looking up the bug-texinfo mailing list archive, I now remember that
I've diskussed this by myself :-/. It is an endless grief,
unfortunately.
You might read this discussion thread:
http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/bug-texinfo/2011-08/msg2.html
ending with Karl's conclusion:
The only way I see to retain compatibility with the 4.13 texinfo.tex
is not to use @macro when the arg might have \. Sorry.
In other words, as long as we use texinfo 4.13, we must not update to
a recent texinfo.tex, which is a pity since the new version contains
improved layout handling. The alternative is to avoid `\' in
@lydoctitle, but I really would dislike such a decision.
BTW, new (test) versions have @backslashchar{}.

Not really: I just diagnosed the error log, but it is not like I have anything set up for _producing_ such a log, and it would be quite a bit of work to set it up and subsequently boil it down to a minimal example. -- David Kastrup ___ lilypond-devel mailing list lilypond-devel@gnu.org https://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/lilypond-devel
