[Octave-bug-tracker] [bug #56929] csvread help text xref to dlmread appears confusingly when displayed in info format

[Pantxo Diribarne]

Follow-up Comment #5, bug #56929 (project octave):

@Rik: I played with this in the past. My recollection is that the doc strings
prepared for the "help" function were processed for "texinfo" output, so there
was no way to write macros that would distinguish static output (for "help")
and dynamic one (.info files). If they were processed for "plaintext" output,
we could do things in macro.texi, using e.g. "@ifplaintext … @end
ifplaintext". Am I missing something? 
The @seealso macro seems to hide some non-textinfo magic: it is capable of
producing different outputs for help doc stings and .info files.
