Yes. (Actually, I suggested the sequence SPACE BACKSPACE, which has the advantage of being invisible even if some old Info reader delivers it to the screen. I think NUL NUL was your suggestion. But I don't care much about the delimiter as long as it doesn't make too much trouble to older readers.) _______________________________________________ Bug-texinfo mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://mail.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/bug-texinfo
