You mean, "makeinfo -E", right? > For me, this isn't useful output.

It's disabled because makeinfo cannot assume you are producing the expanded output for TeX. You are allowed to do so for any supported format, not just for TeX. You should use the --if... options to tell makeinfo what parts of conditionals to process. > Using the --iftex option fails, of course: Of course. Did you try to use @tex instead of @iftex? > [BTW, there is a another bug: It is possible to say > > makeinfo -e yyy yyy.texinfo > > which should be prohibited -- I don't think that anyone needs both > the expanded texinfo date and info output in the same file.] This is only a problem if yyy.texinfo doesn't @setfilename to something non-default. Anyway, I'm against prohibiting this--if someone wants to shoot themselves in the foot, why should makeinfo prevent them (and jump through the hoops to do that, as detecting this requires highly non-portable code)? _______________________________________________ Bug-texinfo mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://mail.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/bug-texinfo
