Hello.

Please send any further HTML issues directly to the Texinfo
people (cc'ed).  I simply use the currently released version
of makeinfo to format the documents.

Your patch, unfortunately, is not correct, as it ends up putting
regular text into @code even for non-HTML outputs, so I cannot
apply it.

I will look at revising that part of the manual to use @multitable;
it predates the existence of that Texinfo feature.

Thanks,

Arnold
