Re: deffn

[Karl Berry]

Greetings --

Three years ago :), you sent a texinfo.tex bug report regarding @deffn:

    In the tex output, 'Comma' is slanted, and enharmonic is bold.

See patch below.  (The only functional change is to add \empty to what
we pass to \spacesplit.)

FYI, I also found another workaround was to put empty
arguments on the line with @deffn, as in
@deffn {} {Enharmonic comma} {}

This also stops TeX from thinking the {} around Enharmonic comma are
marking an undelimited macro argument and therefore stripping them.

Sorry for the delayed fix,
karl

For some reason, I cannot convince that the term I want to describe
contains a space.  In the tex output, 'Comma' is slanted, and
enharmonic is bold.


\input texinfo @c -*-texinfo-*-
@setfilename g.info
@settitle Reference Manual

@node Top, , ,
@top

@deffn {} {Enharmonic comma}

(A defn. of the enharmonic comma.)

F: comma enharmonique
@end deffn
