Re: warnings with cvs texinfo version
Hello, Here is an additional patch that takes care of a new warning: ./gdb.texinfo:31: warning: @syncodeindex leads to a merging of fn in itself, ignoring It simply comments out the line @syncodeindex fn fn which is a bit weird.

Sure, unless the fact that an empty @item is wrong but an @item with an empty @w{} is correct is documented in the manual, in which case it becomes 'set in stone' that this is a correct construct. The GDB manual has been using this form for a very long time now. So long that it could definitely be considered an established de-facto practice. I don't think so. It instead shows that we need to state precisely if it is correct or not. Should that be documented? Not sure what you suggest to document. I suggest to document the correct constructs, such that expectations are precise on what should lead to a warning or not. A user-friendly tool lets users do whatever they want, so long as the result is to users' liking. If I learned anything from the days back when I was hacking makeinfo, it's that users will use the tools in every imaginable way and some unimaginable ones. Restricting them or annoying them with gratuitous messages, without a very good reason, is just annoyance. I interpret your point in the exact opposite direction. To me, the fact that 'users will use the tools in every imaginable way and some unimaginable ones' means that users should only have expectations on the documented features, and that we may want to precise the right ways at any time. I am not sure, as the output may not be what the writer intended. It is today. For you in Info. But not necessarily for everybody in every format. For instance, the docbook produced is invalid. It is not clear to me that what comes before the first item should be indented or not. Again, the empty @item line could either be ignored, or be considered as an empty line depending on the formatter. makeinfo never did such things, and IMO it never should. If changes are relevant, for constructs that were previously undocumented, makeinfo may change its output. This has changed, now the text is: Both contents commands should be written on a line by themselves, and placed near the beginning of the file, after the @code{@@end titlepage} (@pxref{titlepage,,@code{@@titlepage}}), before any sectioning command. The contents commands automatically generate a chapter-like heading at the top of the first table of contents page, so don't include any sectioning command such as @code{@@unnumbered} before them. Maybe this could be clearer? This is clear enough, but it's still doesn't contradict having @contents after @top, because @top is not a sectioning command. For me, it is. Maybe that could be clearer. Again, limitations should have a good reason. What harm will having @contents after @top do? If there's no harm, then please don't annoy users by warnings that don't have a solid reason. In TeX it doesn't work. If you look at the manual, the @top is in an @ifnottex block, but the idea is that the rule about @contents should not depend on the output format. There is a balance between having more warnings to warn users that have made mistakes and having less warnings to let the user have more freedom, and where the cursor is is mostly arbitrary: you'll always help some users and piss off others. Nowadays, there are more and more warnings added. Personnally, I don't care much, Karl is the one deciding on that in general. Well, I surely hope Karl will reconsider. Because I think this policy will bring nothing but complaints and aggravation. I think that it depends whether there is a way to get things right or not. For @contents, it is rather easy, as it may be moved before sections in any format -- although the output in html and plaintext will be different. For the empty @item issue, using @w{} or something like that may be a possible solution. For the indentation provided by an empty @table, I have no idea for now. -- Pat ___ bug-gdb mailing list bug-gdb@gnu.org https://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/bug-gdb

I found that in the history of Texinfo (by chance): A bit of history: in the 1970's at CMU, Brian Reid developed a program and format named Scribe to mark up documents for printing. It used the `@' character to introduce commands, as Texinfo does. Much more consequentially, it strove to describe document contents rather than formatting, an idea wholeheartedly adopted by Texinfo.
