RE: ifnottex? Neil Jerram 05/16/2001 14:32:27
my version of makeinfo is (GNU texinfo 3.12) 1.68 and I'm installing
on IRIX64 and get the following errors, very similar to previously
mentioned errors:
Making info file `guile.info' from `guile.texi'.
guile.texi:194: No matching `@end ifnottex'.
guile.texi:204: Unmatched `@end'.

the mentioned fix was
-------------------8<--------------------
The problem with @ifnottex in Texinfo 3.12 are actually a
bug/misfeature in that version: conditionals such as @ifnottex cannot
span node boundaries. Here's a ChangeLog entry from the latest
Texinfo distribution:
Sun Nov 29 17:12:35 1998 Karl Berry <<EMAIL: PROTECTED>> [...]
* makeinfo/insertion.c (discard_insertions): Let any conditional
cross node boundary. (So the @top node can be wrapped
in @ifnottex, for example.)
This was done during the (long) pretest of Texinfo 4.0.
-------------------8<--------------------
forgive my naivity, but how do you implement this fix? I'd appreciate any
feedback thanks.
