Declarations like `char c[]'
I am completely baffled. @var is meant for metasyntactic variables,
like nonterminals in parser rules. That's it.
I therefore assume it is used to handle macros. It slows things down, and
creates a lot of ugly terminal output, but isn't otherwise a problem.
If you use etex instead of tex, I believe macros won't require the
auxiliary file. (There's no other way to get the catcodes right in
original TeX.)
Yes, with the `Top', `Up', and `Next' references inserted by Emacs'
`texinfo-multiple-files-update', e.g.,
My advice is, don't use those. Use implicit pointers instead (so the
@node lines just have the node name). Much simpler. Assuming a
"normal" hierarchical manual.
I call `texinfo-multiple-files-update' function with a positive numerical
argument, and I always have to delete an extra address@hidden' in the main
file (`scantest.texi') by hand.
I can't tell you how many years I've been seeing that bug. Reported it
many times. I don't know if it'll be fixed in the next release of Emacs
or not.
It works with `texi2dvi', but `makeinfo' fails:
c:\Scantest\DOC\TEXINFO//parser.texi:235: Unknown command `'.
I'll look into that.
Thanks,
Karl
