Hi,
I'm using makeinfo-4.13, and define a macro that should take no arguments
and should produce an empty expansion. The texinfo doc says:
If a macro needs no parameters, you can define it either with an empty
list (`...@macro foo {}') or with no braces at all (`...@macro foo').
When I define the macro as follows:
@macro texnl{}
@end macro
and my input text is:
This is a more low-level API. The word break property is a property defined
in Unicode Standard Annex #29, section ``Word Boundaries'', see
@url{http://www.unicode.org/reports/tr29/#word_boundarie...@texnl It is used
for determining the word breaks in a string.
then makeinfo produces an info file with this paragraph:
This is a more low-level API. The word break property is a property
defined in Unicode Standard Annex #29, section "Word Boundaries", see
`http://www.unicode.org/reports/tr29/#Word_Boundaries'. for
determining the word breaks in a string.
You can see that the words "It is used" have been omitted. I.e. the macro
is acting like @c.
Whereas when I define the macro as follows:
@macro texnl
@end macro
then the output in info format is as expected:
This is a more low-level API. The word break property is a property
defined in Unicode Standard Annex #29, section "Word Boundaries", see
`http://www.unicode.org/reports/tr29/#Word_Boundaries'. It is used for
determining the word breaks in a string.
