Ok, I'll implement that. In addition, I think it will be warned if found in most line @-commands, except maybe @exdent, @center and @item in @table. > in figure captions it is harder, as captions are > set up as accepting anything. > > Which makes sense. Let me check about @verb in figure captions in > texinfo.tex. I was thinking of @shortcaption before. I have checked, if there is a @shortcaption the @caption may contain anything. If there is no @shortcaption, what is in @caption is very constrained, much like @shortcaption (even a @comment on a second line is not accepted..). This makes perfect sense, thus. So constructs that are not allowed in @shortcaption may trigger a warning/error when they appear in @caption and there is no @shortcaption. However, the implementation would not be that easy. Do you think I should work on it nevertheless? -- Pat
