I agree: a suggested replacement must be validated on a large body of existing manuals (I can try to come up with a list, if it helps), and for each manual, we should verify that the results are either 100% identical or at least equivalent (i.e. will be displayed the same by the existing browsers). _______________________________________________ Texinfo home page: http://www.gnu.org/software/texinfo [email protected] http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/help-texinfo
