My parser throws comments away by default, although it would be very easy to subclass it and override parse_c to add Comment nodes to the AST. Macros don't show up there either, they are expanded via recursive parsing and again it's just a matter of overriding the parse_end_macro method. > From today's point of view, the idea to process the Texinfo file > with TeX itself was not a very good one.

Perl plus multimethods (via Damian Conways' Class::Multimethods) surely won't beat C. -- Jean-Louis Leroy Sound Object Logic http://www.soundobjectlogic.com _______________________________________________ Texinfo home page: http://www.gnu.org/software/texinfo [email protected] http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/help-texinfo
