Again: I don't see that Texinfo behavior precludes us from writing consistent input. Mapping this input to current Texinfo behavior is a matter of redefining a macro then. Looking at the Texinfo source, it would appear that the main makeinfo engine uses the locale-aware system sorting routines, so it is conceivable that calling Texinfo with a suitable LC_COLLATE setting might do the trick on systems having locales supporting this kind of order. -- David Kastrup _______________________________________________ lilypond-devel mailing list [email protected] https://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/lilypond-devel
