$ man makeinfo
--fill-column=NUM
break Info lines at NUM characters (default 72).
Say columns, not characters. E.g., there will be less characters if they
are fullwidth characters.
$ makeinfo --version
texi2any (GNU texinfo) 6.8
Here we see a second run of makeinfo --html has only updated the first file:
$ ls -ogt

Weird paragraph breaks in man page:
$ man makeinfo
-o, --output=DEST
output to DEST. With split output, create DEST as a directory
and put the output files there.
With non-split output, if DEST is already
a directory or ends with a /,
(info "(texinfo) Invoking texi2any") says
'--no-number-footnotes'
'--number-footnotes'
Suppress automatic footnote numbering. By default, footnotes are
numbered sequentially within a node, i.e., the current footnote
number is reset to 1 at the start of each node.
Yes, even I know
Add a note to (info "(texinfo) @noindent")
mentioning why
$ echo -e @indent\\n\\n|makeinfo --plaintext
$ echo -e @noindent\\n\\n|makeinfo --plaintext
give the same output. (Don't tell me. I know why. Mention why in the
document. Thanks.)
(info "(texinfo) @pagesizes") says:
To make more elaborate changes, such as changing any of the page
margins, you must define a new command in 'texinfo.tex' or
'texinfo.cnf'.
Mention a workaround:
Before:
$ perl -wle 'for(1..2){print "ABC " x 33, "\n";}'|makeinfo --plaintext
ABC ABC
(info "(texinfo) @format") says:
This is an example of text written between a '@format' command
and an '@end format' command. As you can see
from this example,
the '@format' command does not fill the text.
OK, that's great.
However it would take five minutes less to figure out if instead you
On
(info "(texinfo) Footnote Styles")
(info "(texinfo) @paragraphindent")
mention how to unindent footnotes.
$ makeinfo --plaintext --set-customization-variable paragraphindent=0
doesn't work.
Or mention that 'sorry, it is impossible. Use sed or awk etc.'
