Message-ID: <87mzyz13ch.fsf@mail.jurta.org> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <m1CFFGR-000UN8C@rattlesnake.com> (Robert J. Chassell's message of "Wed, 6 Oct 2004 17:07:43 +0000 (UTC)")
Apart from being a very useful feature, this also helps to find errors
visually in Info manuals. For example, I noticed
1. one backquote missing in emacs-lisp-intro.texi:
day alternative for the decision `if it is warm and sunny, then go to
the beach, else read a book!''.
which should be:
day alternative for the decision ``if it is warm and sunny, then go to
the beach, else read a book!''.
2. closing paren missing in calc.texi:
-to a function are somehow of the wrong type (@cite{@t{tan}([2,3,4])},
+to a function are somehow of the wrong type (@cite{@t{tan}([2,3,4])}),
3. extra backslash in gnus.texi:
- (any "mypackage@@somewhere\" - "bugs-mypackage" "mypkg.list")
+ (any "mypackage@@somewhere" - "bugs-mypackage" "mypkg.list")
But OTOH, there are some places where it fails on legitimate constructs.
Most serious cases I found where this feature completely fails are
1. (info "(eintr)else") with
`"It's a tiger!"'; but when you evaluate `(type-of-animal 'zebra)',
you will see `"It's not fierce!"'.
2. (info "(gnus)Group Parameters") where after the first quote
on the line
if address \"sender\" \"sieve-admin@extundo.com\" {
the rest of the node is fontified in string face.
While I think this feature is useful enough to be ON by default,
expect a lot of bug reports unless these problems are fixed.
