So what changed since then that it now doesn't work? Yep, it works, but that's just not what I want! The suggestion, stripped down, is: Make a new macro for each _use_ of @ovar you would liked. While I want Use a single macro in any place. So I agree a solution was provided, in the sense that this case is solvable. But then? What do I do if I have another item which wants to use ovar, but at a different place? I agree I have a work around. But it's worse than not using macros at all. In other words, I should have to throw away the idea that primitives/macros are logical (@acronym, @code, @option) and allow me to structure the output (which is important since at the end I'm aiming at DocBook), vs. a plain format (@i, @r, @sc). You're asking me to throw away the very reasons that makes me like Texinfo :( _______________________________________________ Help-texinfo mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://mail.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/help-texinfo
