This one appears only once, labeled "\accepts" with notation.pdf.
Even more, there is only one target (so to say only one place where both 
versions are mentioned) for "accepts" vs 3 targets when
@set txiindexbackslashignore
is specified in common-macros.itexi.

BTW this make a 6 pages less volume.

If texi2any follows the same rule, it would be the same, I guess for the 
HTML version. For the moment I'm still stuck withe the same errors and 
unable to dig further in the switch from texi2html that, sooner or 
later, will disappear from distros.
