Please give examples of what you mean. Perhaps they should go into the documentation; or perhaps Texinfo should be changed. Often it's ambiguous. Again, please give an example. And its parsers (makeinfo?) are too graceful; there isn't any so called validator. I am puzzled by this: I get good validation by running makeinfo to produce 5 different output formats, and running texi2dvi to produce another output format. I just paste the appropriate shell commands (which I keep near the beginning of my source file) into a shell. -- Robert J.
