Perhaps I'm confused: if Texinfo commands are not the recommended way, then why do we have them? why not tell users to always use literal non-ASCII characters? > IOW, I think the fact that the document specifies @documentencoding > should be enough for makeinfo to obey; relying on an additional > command-line switch is unreliable. > > I don't see that it's unreliable, although I could agree with > "inconvenient". Sorry, I should have explained: it is unreliable from the point of view of the document author. As an author, I cannot simply put a @documentencoding directive in the document and be sure that the result will absolutely positively displayed correctly in Emacs. _______________________________________________ emacs-pretest-bug mailing list emacs-pretest-bug@gnu.org http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/emacs-pretest-bug
