This is a followup to a discussion on the AUCTeX list starting here:
http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/auctex/2014-10/msg00018.html .
See especially
http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/auctex/2014-10/msg00026.html .
The issue that arose is that a pdf version of the AUCTeX manual can be
built with the command 'texi2pdf auctex.texi' but not with 'texi2any
--pdf auctex.texi'. The Texinfo manual seems to say that those two
commands should be equivalent.
Being a Texinfo novice (and illiterate in Perl), I can't provide a
simple test case. But here are the steps to reproduce the problem,
using texinfo-5.2 (I've also tested with the current trunk):
git clone git://git.savannah.gnu.org/auctex.git
cd auctex
./autogen.sh
cd doc
texi2any --pdf auctex.texi
This results in many error messages:
auctex.texi:11: unknown command `AUCTeX'
auctex.texi:11: misplaced {
auctex.texi:11: misplaced }
auctex.texi:38: unknown command `tolerance'
[...]
On the other hand, 'texi2pdf auctex.texi' works fine.
