Default is to omit this indentation, unlike the output up to now. . new command @indent for explicitly indenting a paragraph. . makeinfo writes a new construct for @image in Info output, so that graphical Info browsers (such as Emacs Info under X) can display an actual image. (Standalone Info ignores this, since it runs in a tty.) i see that "grep @indent man/*.texi" yields nine hits. so how about replacing the version check, like so: + echo @indent > conftest.texi + if test "$MAKEINFO" != "no" ; then + test $MAKEINFO conftest.texi >dev/null 2>&1 || MAKEINFO=no + fi + rm -f conftest.texi such a construct is more in line w/ autoconf usage philosophy (ie, don't check version; check desired features directly). thi
