Err, isn't a texinfo file already a TeX file? (He says to TeXnician Karl
:) Sure, but it wouldn't work to do: ... (la)tex stuff ... \input texinfo.tex ... texinfo stuff ... ... more (la)tex stuff ... The definitions in texinfo.tex will certainly screw up anything following -- the parsing is completely different, starting with a different escape character (@ instead of \). You can't just put the texinfo stuff in a group because there are tons of global definitions (and need to be). latex and texinfo will certainly collide too, so that's out. I've never actually tried making a document with just plain tex stuff before, and then read texinfo.tex in the middle. I imagine the page numbers, at least, would be messed up, but it might ultimately be workable. I rather suspect the OP was thinking latex though. Cheers, karl
