Thanks for noticing--will you fix them? 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!"'. What Texinfo code generates that? It looks like someone put @samp around a Lisp string constant. If so, that is incorrect usage; it should be @code, not @samp.
