Follow-up Comment #29, bug #52775 (project octave): To emphasize again, texi2dvi and texi2pdf version 5.2 do not error out on the sortas macro. It's only makeinfo 5.2 that errors (building octave.info and octave.html). So there is no error with any kind of validation of the syntax as long as the macro is defined in texinfo.tex for the TeX output formats (DVI and PDF). I have not looked at the rendered output yet because I didn't know what I was looking for. It makes sense that texinfo.tex is not used for the plain text formats (Info and HTML) because they aren't TeX based. I guess that Texinfo implements its own conversion routines either in C or Perl that handle the sortas macro for the non-TeX formats. On a system with Texinfo 6.5, I do get the top-level graphics object classes listed first in the "Graphics Properties Index" page for all output formats. I don't think there's a point to a separate doc distribution, since we already build and include the docs with the source distribution. I agree that this remaining compatibility issue primarily affects developers and packagers. _______________________________________________________ Reply to this item at: <http://savannah.gnu.org/bugs/?52775> _______________________________________________ Message sent via/by Savannah http://savannah.gnu.org/
