[help-texinfo] Texi2dvi and non-ascii

[Tomas Zerolo]

Hi gurus,

how do I specify a non-ascii encoding (in my case, it'd be iso 8859-1,
aka Latin-1) for texinfo?

Yes, I do know about @documentencoding and @documentlanguage, but they
don't seem to help in the TeX case.

I had to resort to things like

    @iftex
    @address@hidden@`A}
    @address@hidden@'A}
      [...lots of ugly stuff here...]
    @end tex

of olden TeX times. Besides, I had to hand-catch the *.aux file in case
some umlaut slipped into an index entry to keep it from wreaking havoc.

Is there a better way I'm not aware of?

My version is:

    address@hidden:~$ texi2dvi --version
    texi2dvi (GNU Texinfo 4.7) 1.3
    ...

Thanks for any help
