[help-texinfo] Spaces before @ commands

Hi

I've just started with texinfo and I have some doubts. I don't know if
it's a bug or the normal behaviour and was hoping someone could
explain me.

On the texinfo manual it says which commands need to be at the start
of the line. My question is if spaces between those commands and the
start of the line are accepted. It seems that in most cases it does.
However, I found at least one (@end ignore) where it doesn't. What I
found most strange about @end ignore not accepting the space, was the
fact that the pair command @ignore is ok with having a space before.

Here's an example of what I mean http://pastebin.com/maekJjEX The
first block is ignored. If I however add a space as in the second
ignore block, makeinfo returns the error

Expected `
@end ignore'.

Is the the right behaviour? Is indentation not allowed?

Thanks in advance,
