Re: Using Texinfo Extension on Windows

I took a look at your script. The script is trying to convert native Windows 
paths to WSL paths.
Windows accept both slash and backslash as directory separator, but the script 
can only recognize backslash.

The v0.2.2 update of the extension converts all backslashes in the path of 
input file to slashes, as the
Windows build of GNU Texinfo seems buggy when passing paths with backslashes to 
it.

Maybe that's the reason why your script doesn't work anymore.

That is a confirmed bug.

The extension generates diagnostic information by parsing the output of 
makeinfo,
but it does not properly recognize Windows paths because of the backslashes.
Also it doesn't work with GNU Texinfo 6.8, as makeinfo no longer outputs the 
fully qualified path,
only the filename.

This bug should be fixed in the upcoming v0.2.3 release.

This feature only works with the `@node` command.

By convention, when we write a `@chapter` or `@section`, we put a `@node` line 
before it.
However, FFmpeg's documentation doesn't seem to follow that convention.
