I think it did, but I will double check this. In any case, it just
needs to be good enough for reviewers to read the book for review;
production will be done with LaTeX.
Much thanks!

Removing the \vtop from texinfo.tex did the trick for me.
Not sure about makeinfo --latex though...

Hi.
I just formatted the gawk manual to PDF. The pages themselves
look fine. However, using evince on Ubuntu 22.04, the side bar showing
the sections and pages, has all the page numbers in roman numerals!
I'm using texi2pdf 7.0.1.
Let me know if you want a screen shot.

with the new features and am glad other people are using them too.

The source for Karl's "TeX for the Impatient" is available, as a GNU

I kind of like the leaders (or at least the right justified page

In any case, those are my current thoughts.
