Hi Rafael

The file quaternion.pdf is generated by the octave script 
generate_quaternion_pdf.m [1].

quaternion.tex alone is not sufficient to build the manual as it includes 
functions.texi (attached). generate_quaternion_pdf.m also calls 
collect_texinfo_strings.m which produces the file functions.texi by extracting 
the Texinfo help string directly from the m-files listed in the INDEX file. 
Note that the generate_html package from OctaveForge is required.

I think one could create a quaternion.info file from quaternion.tex and 
functions.texi or by replacing "pdftex" in generate_quaternion_pdf.m.

Regards,
Lukas
