[texinfo.tex version 2008-10-20.21]
Look at this small example:
@example
@multitable @columnfractions .5 .5
@headitem foo @tab bar
@item foofoo @tab barbar
@end multitable
@end example
In the PDF, I get this:
foo bar
foofoo barbar
Note the space before `foofoo' and `barbar'. This is really ugly; I
consider it a bug. Another bug IMHO is the extra empty line between
the two entries.
Both bugs are related to calling \sepspaces within \nonfillstart: It
converts the syntactical spaces after @headitem, @item, and @tab
together with the newline character itself into \tie instead of
ignoring it.
The right output can be achieved with
@example
@multitable @columnfractions .5 .5
@[EMAIL PROTECTED] @[EMAIL PROTECTED] @[EMAIL PROTECTED] @[EMAIL PROTECTED]
@end multitable
@end example
but I doubt that this syntax form is really what we want.
Additionally, makeinfo dislikes it.
Maybe @table should not be used within @example? The documentation
doesn't mention this, and honestly I don't see a reason to disallow
it.
