This is a bug in texinfo which was discussed in the thread starting at http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/bug-texinfo/2007-10/msg00019.html. The following patch is taken from that discussion: --- cmds.c.~1.76.~ 2007-09-26 13:53:39.000000000 -0700 +++ cmds.c 2007-10-13 16:43:56.000000000 -0700 @@ -1633,6 +1633,10 @@ { + /* 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'); } Cheers, Sven -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
