I've tested `texinfo-format-buffer' with several manuals from GNU/NonGNU
ELPA packages.
Only one file worked:
magit/docs/magit-section.texi
In all other cases I tried I got errors
bnf-mode/bnf-mode.texi
(error "@comma is not handled by texinfo")
magit/docs/magit.texi
(error "Unmatched @end example") ; false positive
org-roam/doc/org-roam.texi
(error "@LaTeX is not handled by texinfo")
slime/doc/slime.texi
(error "@codequoteundirected is not handled by texinfo")
swiper/doc/ivy.texi
(error "@indentedblock is not handled by texinfo")
use-package/use-package.texi
(error "Unmatched @end example") ; false positive
The fact that this command has been this broken for so long without
anyone complaining should give some indication of how much used it sees.
