I have reduced the problematic case to the following minimal example: \input texinfo @c -*-texinfo-*- @setfilename ess.info @settitle ESS -- Emacs Speaks Statistics @macro ESS{ARG} @acronym{ESS\ARG\} @end macro @ESS{}: bad @ESS{[R]}: good @bye The output is: ./bla.texi:9: Argument of @gobblespaces has an extra }. <inserted text> @par <to be read again> } @doacronym ...#3@finish ->{@selectfonts @lsize #1} @def @temp {#2}@ifx @temp ... l.1 @acronym{ESS@gobblespaces } @texinfoc @scanmacro ...atspaces }@scantokens {#1@texinfoc } @aftermacro l.9 @ESS{} : bad ? Can anyone comment on this?
