plaintexinfo could be changed to something else, just tell me. > Another option would be to change texi2any not to process for output > with the invocation we use - > > $makeinfo --footnote-style=end -I "$in_dir" $run_mi_includes \ > -o /dev/null --macro-expand=- > > - possibly if the --macro-expand option is given as this option is likely > only used in this script and for debugging. I am a bit worried that some user-defined scripts rely on this behaviour. Also, if "-c TEXINFO_OUTPUT_FORMAT=plaintexinfo" was replaced by --macro-expand it would require changing --macro-expand not to take an argument. In any case, I prefer using "-c TEXINFO_OUTPUT_FORMAT=plaintexinfo" to avoid the expansion to Info, not only because it is useless, but as importantly, because the error messages related to conversion to Info are output, this should be avoided. Last, you forgot --iftex --no-ifinfo, I will also add. -- Pat
