Hi Texinfo people,
This report is for unexpected errors when running texi2dvi on the file
guile-doc/ref/r5rs.texi from the Guile CVS. If you prefer, I can mail
you a copy of this file (and also the accompanying texinfo.tex).
I'm afraid I don't know enough to know whether these errors indicate
bugs in the source or bugs in texi2dvi. But r5rs.texi is a very
widely distributed document, so I would tend to suspect texi2dvi.
texi2dvi version is:
-----------------texi2dvi version-----------------------------

A workaround for this error is to comment out line 3982 of

In general, [EMAIL PROTECTED] is the place for Guile bug reports. In
this case, however, you're right that it's mostly me working on the
docs right now.

I don't get any problems with r4rs - what problems do you see with
this one?
With r5rs, I get a problem at line 714 of r5rs.texi: "! Unbalanced
parentheses in @def", which can be `fixed' by commenting out line 3982
of texinfo.tex.
When this is fixed, I get a problem at line 7326 of r5rs.texi: "!
Argument of @doignoretext has an extra }". This one is beyond me, I'm
afraid.
Anyway, these are bugs either in the r5rs.texi source, or in the
texi2dvi tool, so I think the right thing is to forward this to the
Texinfo people.
Regards,
Neil
