Hmm.  I'm certain that I've had this discussion with a GDP helper
before -- they commented that something was broken, and my reply
was "it's on the technical todo list, but nobody's looking at it,
so I can't be bothered to add a FIXME here.  Just move on."

I wouldn't swear that this was about the \ problem, though.


BTW, are the other issues getting fixed in texinfo CVS / SVN /
whatever they use?  If so, do you feel like installing it on
kainhofer.com, so that we can see what the docs look like with all
these bugfixes included?

The bugfixes won't show up on the official 2.11 docs on
lilypond.org, but hopefully texinfo 2.13 will be out before lily
2.12.  And it would be nice to tell people "look at the docs on
the GDP server, and let us know if you find *any* errors".

There's no urgency in this; waiting a month will be fine.
Actually, we should probably do the introducion of texi2html on
-user and get all those issues settled first, anyway.
