It apparently is not supposed to be called from within other environments such as @code. But then again, @verb _does_ work within @code in as far as the Info output is concerned. It works from within other environments in LaTeX. The Texinfo documentation does not explicitly say whether @verb is supposed to work from within @code. I will let Karl decide whether the fact that @verb does not work (in all situations) from within @code is a bug or not. Andreas pointed out the reason for the problem, assuming it is one. It seems that `imenu@verb{|--|}index-alist' sometimes get treated as implicitly inside an @code (@verb does not work) and sometimes not (@verb works). Of course, this is inconsistent. I should have said "would be inconsistent" (if my impression would be correct). Sincerely, Luc.
