That should catch some problems, but it's not enough. Typically I focus=20 on that editing the .texi file first to get the content right. Then, I=20 want to make sure the result is readable so I generate the output and=20 look at it. Problems with looks often include fairly-mundane things=20 like a capitalized word at sentence end which messes up later spacing,=20 things which one can easily see when looking at the info output, but=20 which one can't easily expect a text editor to catch.
