When using texinfo-mode for the first time in Emacs 22.x I found that
fill-paragraph no longer worked.
Tracing fill-paragraph shows that forward-paragraph is not working
properly, perhaps due to paragraph-separate/paragraph-start not being
defined properly. Attempting to use forward-paragraph always skips to
the end of the file. forward-page works properly, on the other hand.
In a texinfo buffer (the buffer-local variable) paragraph-start is
defined as
"\\|@[a-zA-Z]*[ \n]\\|[ ]*\\(//+\\|\\**\\)[ ]*\\|^\f"
which is correct according to texinfo.el, as it appends the first
clause to the default paragraph-start
"[ ]*\\(//+\\|\\**\\)[ ]*\\|^\f"
whose definition I honestly find surprising. Why are two or more
slashes or zero or more asterisks special markers in text-mode?
Thanks,
Joe
