Dear Texinfo hackers, We LilyPond translators have found a serious layout problem in LilyPond PDF manual, with Texinfo 4.9. pdfetex/texinfo.tex seems to be sometimes confused when formatting text with quotes: much space is often left around the quoted text, leading to overfull hboxes and a black rectangle in worst case -- or, if I try to say it differently, line breaks occur at wrong places.
Fortunately, I could trim down the problem to a small example (see attached mini_es_sample.texi), taken from LilyPond Spanish manual. If you uncomment the @ignore'd paragraph, it looks even worse. Log from texi2pdf is below, and the PDF I get is at http://john.mandereau.free.fr/mini_es_sample.pdf FWIW, here are references of the bug in huge LilyPond manuals. Page numbers indications are "physical" pages numbers, i.e. those shown by PDF viewer, not those printed on pages. http://john.mandereau.free.fr/lilypond-doc/Documentation/user/lilypond.es.pdf "4.1.1 Sugerencias de tipo general", bottom of 54 "4.3 Hojas de estilo", 59, 60, 61 http://john.mandereau.free.fr/lilypond-doc/Documentation/user/lilypond.fr.pdf "1.1 Gravure", 13 End of "1.3 Quels signes graver ?", 16 "4.1.1 Suggestions g ́en ́erales", bottom of 55 http://john.mandereau.free.fr/lilypond-doc/Documentation/user/lilypond.pdf "4.1.1 General suggestions", bottom of 52 $ texi2pdf mini_es_sample.texi This is pdfTeXk, Version 3.141592-1.40.3 (Web2C 7.5.6) file:line:error style messages enabled. %&-line parsing enabled. entering extended mode (/home/john/bazar/tex/es/mini_es_sample.texi (/usr/local/texlive/2007/texmf-patch/tex/texinfo/texinfo.tex Loading texinfo [version 2007-06-29.13]: pdf, (/usr/local/texlive/2007/texmf-dist/tex/plain/misc/pdfcolor.tex) fonts, page headings, tables, conditionals, indexing, sectioning, toc, environments, defuns, macros, cross references, insertions, (/usr/local/texlive/2007/texmf-patch/tex/generic/epsf/epsf.tex This is `epsf.tex' v2.7.3 <23 July 2005> ) localization, formatting, and turning on texinfo input format.)
