Apart from being a very useful feature, this also helps to
find errors visually in Info manuals.
Thanks for noticing--will you fix them?
I already fixed the typos in the intro. It is a useful tool for that.
`"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.
It is @code. That is what makeinfo produces for Info. In a Web
browser such as Emacs W3, Emacs W3M, or Firefox, or when printed, you
see only the double quotes.
