() [email protected] (Karl Berry) () Sat, 3 Sep 2011 22:44:22 GMT I really want an external solution, for all the reasons that have been discussed. I am not attached to m4 specifically, but I don't see any better candidate.
Introducing ability to call out to m4 (or whatever) also introduces the desire to customize the call out: when (and how often), with what scope (environment, restrictions), other parameters, etc. This is messy. Maybe better would be to drop @macro entirely. This forces the external solution, but people can make do with the tools most comfortable to them. There is no real requirement for makeinfo to own the top-level.
