Hi there,
first, thank you Eli for the good and fast explanation,
but I get in trouble with this.
I'm working on a program (perl script) which uses some
text replacements (@@MLTOFN@@) etc. So I have to document
them. The next thing is I have a base file which consists
of two languages which will be seperated through this perl
script into single language Texinfo files.
So I would like to document the macro and at some places I
would like use them. Here a little cut out of my
manuals to my perl script. You can see at some points
(@setfilename @@MLTOBN@@.info) I need to replace the text
with a value.

And later in that file, I will document the Text
replacement feature. This is the place of making problems
with those AT signs.

This macro can be used to put the selected language into
the resulted file (@pxref{cmdOptLanguage}).

An other Test file:

\input texinfo @c -*-texinfo-*-
@setfilename test.info
@settitle test
@set AT @@@@
@defmac @value{AT}TESTMACRO@value{AT} {Paras}
@end defmac
This is a chapter about macros like @@@@TESTMACRO@@@@,
which should be represented the same way.
@bye

This above works in Info very well, and like I expected, but
it does not work in HTML, cause the handling of the Arguments to
@defmac is working not like I thought (I have taken a look
into the source code, there are missing some execute_string
for HTML area, but this won't solve the complete problem
anymore).
The scanning of the arguments for @defmac and for the other
definition commands is not correct (IMHO).
The defined_name value within source code shows:
"@value{AT}" and not more. The rest will be added in later
reader loop and not as a result from scanning arguments to
@defmac. The arguments are seperated by Space/whitespace.
It should be:
"@value{AT}TESTMACOR@value{AT}" This can be resolved in
HTML using execute_string ().
The next thought I have was to suppress complete
replacement if such an argument starts with a single brace.
@defmac {@value{AT}TESTMACOR@value{AT}} ()
should be inserted as it is.
-- Macro: @value{AT}TESTMACOR@value{AT} ()
Might this be a acceptable and compatible way?
I don't see the emacs manuals, might there be a chance
to change them? If it is needed.
PS.: Eli you don't need to additionaly e-mail me direct
I'm subscribed to the Texinfo-Bug list. If you write
there, this is enough. But thank you for your kindness.
