That is great. I noticed an unusual output line in
tta/perl/t/results/info_tests:
* (man:^?u.al)ext::^?
I have changed DEL bytes to ^? for this email.
This output seems ill-formed.
It comes from the last line of a @menu block:
@menu
* blah@asis{:}blah::
* the topic:blumpty@asis{.}fump.
* normal node::
* funny@asis{:}label:@asis{secret,node}.
* (man:u.al)ext::
@end menu
I suppose the : in the manual name "man:u.al" is being taken as terminating
a menu entry label, and the rest of the line is taken as a node name to
be quoted (because of the . between "u" and "al").
However, it would make sense to me for the line from the Texinfo
@menu block to be reproduced as-is, without added quoting characters.
It is not a big deal if this is not easy or simple to achieve, as someone
wanting to use a colon in a manual name and then reference it in a menu
is very unlikely, anyway.
