Bug#790626: Argument of \\ has an extra } ??
Hi everyone,
I faintly remember seeing this on the list here, but cannot find
it now in my texinfo mailbox. Anyone remebers something concerning
this:
./octave.cps:56: Argument of \\ has an extra }.
inserted text
\par
to be read again
}
\initial ... .5\baselineskip \leftline {\secbf #1}
\nobreak \vskip
.33\baseli...
l.56 \initial {\\}
?
Not the octave part, but the error message.
If that is new, I will check the input files and try to get a minimal
example, but maybe the error message rings a bell at someone?
Thanks

l.56 \initial {\\}
Works for me with current texinfo.tex and the input below (to force
creating the \initial line). I don't doubt there was a bug in some
version of texinfo.tex in this regard, but I routinely run Texinfo
documents with \indexentries, so I doubt it existed for long. -k

Hi everyone,
(short: one problem solved, another appeared: @SOMECMD{\X} does not work)
Works for me with current texinfo.tex and the input below (to force
sorry for the noise. The problem lies with octave shipping an ancient
texinfo.tex (2009?). Removing it did bring up two new errors:
As of now there is code like:
alarm character @qcode{\a} to ...
which errored out with
undefined command
I had to change two occurrences of
@SOMECMD{\X}
to
@SOMECMD{\\X}
Is this expected?
In any case, with the above two changes I could fix the building of
the octave texinfo manual.
(@ Octave maintainers: I will send patches (git format-patch) after
I have confirmed that everything is fine now)
All the best
