I tried to have a framework that would make it easier to change our
mind. But Texinfo proved to be quite resistant to changes :(
Index: ChangeLog
from Akim Demaille <address@hidden>
* doc/autoconf.texi (ac, at, ms): Rename these indexes as...
(AC, AT, MS): these.
(shortindexflag, @acindex, @ahindex, @asindex, @atindex, @msindex):
New.
Use them.
* doc/Makefile.am (CLEANFILES): Adjust.
(TEXI2DVI): Make it --batch.

address@hidden Handling the indexes with Texinfo yields several different
problems.
address@hidden
address@hidden Because we want to drop out the AC_ part of the macro names in
the
address@hidden printed manual, but not in the other outputs, we need a layer
above
address@hidden the usual @acindex etc. That's why we first define indexes such
as
address@hidden acx meant to become the macro @acindex. First of all, using
``ac_''
address@hidden does not work with makeinfo, and using ``ac1'' doesn't work with
TeX.
address@hidden So use something more regular ``acx''. Then you finish with a
printed
address@hidden index saying ``index is not existent''. Of course: you ought to
use
address@hidden two letters :( So you use capitals.
address@hidden
address@hidden Second, when defining a macro in the TeX world, following spaces
are
address@hidden eaten. But then, since we embed @acxindex commands that use the
end
address@hidden of line as an end marker, the whole things wrecks itself. So
make
address@hidden sure you do *force* an additional end of line, add a
address@hidden''.
address@hidden
address@hidden Finally, you might want to get rid of TeX expansion, using
--expand
address@hidden with texi2dvi. But then you wake up an old problem: we use
macros
address@hidden in @defmac etc. where TeX does perform the expansion, but not
makeinfo.
