Your example was perfect... But I was fooled by makeinfo...

This is still not related with @macro per se. After macro expansion, the
texinfo is:

Hi, my name is @html
&lsquo;Graham&rsquo;
@end html.

The strange thing is that makeinfo doesn't accept this construct, while
it accepts it when there is an @macro... You can check by doing:

makeinfo -E lilypond_braces_expanded.texi lilypond_braces.texi
makeinfo --html lilypond_braces_expanded.texi

I'll report that on the texinfo mailing list.



In any case it seems that the newline preceding @end html is removed 
from the output when makeinfo process the construct. I'll have a look 
at it.
