To TexInfo bug catcher: I have recently updated my system and among the updates is a move from
makeinfo v:4.13 (x86_32) to makeinfo v:5.1 (x86_64) I have run 'yum update texinfo' and it reports that I am up-to-date. However, several things which worked in the previous version, are now out to lunch. The largest of these is that v:5.1 ignores the '--fill-column' option. This means that 50+ pages of documentation, carefully-formatted for '--fill-column=78' now look really bad. A smaller matter: a) There are visible escape codes at the top of the index page in the .info output file. I have attached a '.texi' example, which is a much-simplified version of the document I'm currently working on. It demonstrates the problems mentioned above. See the following: Ch07_gStringTextTool.texi lines 33-41 word wrapping error bug_report.info At the top of the 'Index' section: garbage characters (escape sequences?). If I can help in any way, please let me know. Thanks for your attention, Mahlon Smith -- *“You will do foolish things, but do them with enthusiasm.”* *--Sidonie Gabrielle Colette* Mahlon R.
