With an ancient texinfo written in C, erc.texi fails to build, because
there is no @indentedblock.

Thanks everyone. I shall refrain from using @-commands not found in
other Emacs manuals, going forward. I have also obtained a copy of
texinfo 4.13.

Thanks.
In this particular case, there was no reason to use @indentedblock in the
first place, because our conventions are to format such descriptions as a
@table of @item's. Then the indentation of the body of each @item is
automatically generated by makeinfo.

Duly noted, thanks.
To all my convention flouting peeps out there, you heard it here:
abandon that makeshift jank and embrace the ancient ways (and save
yourself some ugly HTML to boot).
