There are excess spaces in the generated Copyright lines in many but not all info files; I'm using makeinfo 4.8. This seems to occur for files with more than one line of copyright dates. 2. Some of the *.texi files use the @copyright{} construct in their copyright lines (e.g. erc.texi), and some don't (e.g. elisp.texi). Samples: A. elisp.info snippet: This is edition 2.9 of the GNU Emacs Lisp Reference Manual, corresponding to Emacs version 22.0.50.

A quick spot-check showed similar excess spaces in the info files for eshell, woman, and ebrowse, but *not* pcl-cvs or message. B. The space in url.info appears to be due to hard spaces in the url.texi file. C. The erc.texi file is an example of a file using the @copyright{} construct (in constrast to elisp.texi): This manual is for ERC version 5.1.2.
