Please, consider that Karl uses an old and credited style of quoting messages
by indenting the text and removing the excess of marks. It is a very
clean style
and is present in a few cite Emacs packages for decades. This is not what I
use, but I can read perfectly the thread.

As I can see, the requests from users are about technical issues and Karl
always responds. But Texinfo is, by design, a relatively simple language and
not intended to replace TeX, a much more full-featured system. But we can
take advantage of the simplicity of Texinfo and add and pass to the
documents some TeX constructs. I am preparing a few Texinfo templates
for paper books that soon will be at the page.
Peace and loving hacking!!
