Follow-up Comment #5, bug #46018 (project texinfo): > I just realized that we have already discussed this sort of EOL conversion in relation with [bug #38795]. In [bug #38795] my problem was that the BBDB manual was made of several files, some of them had svn:eol-style set to LF and others to native becoming CRLF for MSW users, so when compiling the source with makeinfo I also had inconsistent EOL's in the output. I try to summarize the discussion that had happened below:
Thanks. IME, the only sane way of handling this mess is always maintain the Texinfo sources in Unix-style LF-only format. (For the same reason, I always set up all my VCSes, be it SVN, bzr, Git, or CVS, to never convert the EOLs.) We made a change in texi2any so that it produces Unix-style EOLs in Info files, because otherwise the CR characters that are typically stripped by text-mode I/O used by native Windows programs would otherwise disrupt following references by byte numbers. _______________________________________________________ Reply to this item at: <http://savannah.gnu.org/bugs/?46018> _______________________________________________ Message sent via/by Savannah http://savannah.gnu.org/
