Well, I've managed to solve the problem I had originally by changing my Texinfo document (or, more precisely, changing the literate programming tool--"TexiWEB"--that generates my Texinfo document), so the stakes have been lowered for me. My new opinion is that this is worth doing if it would be useful for someone else. I think you'll probably have trouble finding someone else, though, so it's doubtful whether it's worth the time to do it. _______________________________________________ Bug-texinfo mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://mail.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/bug-texinfo
