Hi, In .info files, the @menu items are essential for a good navigation experience. Thus, it is helpful if 'makeinfo' reports
./strings.texi:21: node `Strings' lacks menu item for `String Functions in C Locale' despite being its Up target makeinfo did so up to version 6.7. In versions 6.8 and 7.0.3, it does not do that any more. How to reproduce: $ cd /tmp $ git clone git://git.savannah.gnu.org/gnulib.git $ cd gnulib $ git checkout 458694e4174ea60b525e688f8d9ec4950f85b4ab $ cd doc $ make updated-stamp $ env LANG= LC_MESSAGES= LC_ALL= LANGUAGE= makeinfo --no-split --reference-limit=2000 gnulib.texi Result with makeinfo 6.4 ... 6.7: ./strings.texi:208: warning: node next `Strings with NUL characters' in menu `Comparison of string APIs' and in sectioning `String Functions in C Locale' differ ./c-locale.texi:1: warning: node `Comparison of string APIs' is next for `String Functions in C Locale' in sectioning but not in menu ./c-locale.texi:1: warning: node `Strings with NUL characters' is prev for `String Functions in C Locale' in sectioning but not in menu ./c-locale.texi:1: warning: node `Strings' is up for `String Functions in C Locale' in sectioning but not in menu ./strings.texi:21: node `Strings' lacks menu item for `String Functions in C Locale' despite being its Up target ./strings.texi:233: warning: node prev `Comparison of string APIs' in menu `Strings with NUL characters' and in sectioning `String Functions in C Locale' differ Result with makeinfo 6.8, 7.0.3: No warning, no error, and the problem has not been autocorrected: The menu in section "16.1 Strings" has 3 items; the section "16.1.2 Strings with NUL characters" is missing in this menu. To me, that's a regression, since I was relying on these diagnostics for producing navigatable info files. The documentation https://www.gnu.org/software/texinfo/manual/texinfo/html_node/Invoking-texi2any.html as well as "makeinfo --help" tell me about options --no-validate --no-warn but don't give me hints how to enforce validation of menu structure. The texinfo 6.8 announcement <https://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/bug-texinfo/2021-07/msg00011.html> mentions that "only check menu structure if CHECK_NORMAL_MENU_STRUCTURE variable is set" but that does not have an effect, neither with 6.8 nor 7.0.3: $ env CHECK_NORMAL_MENU_STRUCTURE=1 LANG= LC_MESSAGES= LC_ALL= LANGUAGE= makeinfo --no-split --reference-limit=2000 gnulib.texi (Still no warning, no error.) How to enable the validation of menu structure with makeinfo 6.8 or 7.0.3 ? Bruno
