complain if there is no compound statment after a label.

Does not!:

break Info lines at NUM characters (default 72).
Say columns, not characters. E.g., there will be less characters if they
are fullwidth characters.
That wouldn't make sense, a column is N characters, saying that it

You need to read the text to understand what an option does, the text
in question clearly explains what the --no-number-footnotes option
does. A itemized list does not mean that options are aliases,
'--no-ifdocbook', '--no-ifhtml' etc are also listed in one group.
GNU makeinfo doesn't know about previously generated files, so it
cannot know what to clean out (maybe the user created them). If you
wish to do that, use a make target that cleans them out for you.
This should probobly fix it, untested.

A better approach is if you suggest what wording should be added or

I prefer `makeinfo' since it is descriptive, and it also has many
years of usage. `texi2any' isn't very descriptive at all, will
there be a texi2info, texi2text, etc as well?
No, the idea is that texi2any is for all the output formats, the
'any' means info, html, text, docbook,
texi2html is basically integrated in texinfo. Right now I haven't
changed anything in what was installed, so the C-makeinfo and
texi2html are installed.
texi2html may be installed under 3 names: texi2html, makeinfo and
texi2any. As makeinfo, it is fully compatible with C-makeinfo,

All I've managed to get is:

Hi,
Dunno if I reported this already... Given the following
@menu
* Foo Bar: (foobar).
@end menu
then texi2html generates strange cross references:
lia accesskey=1 href=#g_t_0028foo_002dbarFoo Bar/a
I have a vauge recollection that texi2html does the right thing, but
makeinfo --html does
{\tt \backslash}$\langle${\rm CR}$\rangle$
or
{\tt \backslashCR}
I'm baffled. Why the backslash? As a casual reader, I would never
think that a backslash somehow means the name of a key.
Any other ideas?
So far my favorite option is to leave it as-is:
@menu
* Other file: (foo).Test
@end menu
I can't say I'm surprised.
Patrice, how does texi2html do?
It works with texi2html:

!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC -//W3C//DTD HTML 4.01 Transitional//EN
Hi,
When using @menu, and refering to external info files the html output
that is generated by makeinfo is wrong, the link that gets produced
