Hi Karl,
you remember that I submitted the following patch:
+++ texinfo-4.11/makeinfo/cmds.c 2007-12-19 16:19:24.000000000 +0100
@@ -1637,10 +1637,14 @@
if (!no_headers && !html)
{
+ /* use add_* instead of insert_* because otherwise the
+ file header ("This is ...") will end up inside the
+ dir section markers. */
kill_self_indent (-1); /* make sure there's no indentation */
- insert_string ("INFO-DIR-SECTION ");
- insert_string (line);
- insert ('\n');
+ cm_noindent (); /* make sure again */
+ add_word ("INFO-DIR-SECTION ");
+ add_word (line);
+ add_char ('\n');
}
free (line);
The reason was that otherwise sometimes the string
"This is ..."
ends up in the dir entry section.
Now there is one problem which changes slightly the output format:
Here are the different outputs for the following input:
@direntry
* ZSH: (zsh). The Z Shell Manual.
@end direntry
with makeinfo 4.8:
INFO-DIR-SECTION Utilities
START-INFO-DIR-ENTRY
* ZSH: (zsh). The Z Shell Manual.
END-INFO-DIR-ENTRY
with makeinfo 4.11 unpatched
INFO-DIR-SECTION Utilities
START-INFO-DIR-ENTRY
This is zsh.info, produced by makeinfo version 4.11 from zsh.texi.
* ZSH: (zsh). The Z Shell Manual.
END-INFO-DIR-ENTRY
with makeinfo 4.11 patched (and probably also with CVS)
INFO-DIR-SECTION Utilities
START-INFO-DIR-ENTRY
* ZSH: (zsh). The Z Shell Manual.
END-INFO-DIR-ENTRY
The problem are the starting spaces which DO make problems with some
other info file parsers. (At least Debian i-i which will still be around
for some time, but we are working hard on it!)
I don't understand all the internals, but I guess the switch from
add_word to insert created this problem.
Do you have a good suggestion how to fix that?
I tried adding another cm_noindent (); before calling
insert_string (line);
but that didn't help, because line contains leading spaces.
Thanks a lot for any suggestions and all the best
Norbert
