It looks like the texi2html-1.68 and later are unable to handle this
construct for example:
@deffn Command {hostname @var{hostname}} {}
...stuff...
@end deffn
It fails at the first line stating:
*** '}' without opening '{' before: ...
Repeating the error message for a long time. The error message isn't
true since all brackets are correctly enclosed.
Thomas, if you like to reproduce it, please download quagga from:
http://quagga.net/download/quagga-0.98.0.tar.gz
and try to compile quagga.texi in the /doc subdirectory.
I agree with Mike it's better to release working 1.66 within teTeX-3.0
instead of buggy latest "stable" release.
Thanks,
Jindrich
