This input line:
@item @code{[[HH:]MM:]SS}
causes texinfo to go nuts and dump lots of incomprehensible stuff
into stderr. I just want the text inside the curly braces to print
as you see it, and if there's something wrong with that syntax then
a corrective hint would be nice, too. Thank you Cheers - Bruce
Have you tried @verb?
I've tried @verb and all manner of variations. Finally, I dropped
the square brackets. The problem did *not* go away. It's the colons!!!
Since it is only for the .dvi output (the rest work fine), perhaps
there is some DVI-only incantation that will let this work?
