Subject: Info file: How do I get an itemized list without blank lines?
Date: Sat, 12 Apr 2003 09:45:31 +0000 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <r7n87b.r5.ln@acm.acm> (raw)
Emacs 21.1, Texinfo 4.5.
I'm writing an info page. My file.texi contains the following itemized
list:
;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;
@itemize -
@item
@code{delete-other-windows} (@kbd{C-x 1}) @xref{Change Window}.
@item
@code{balance-windows} (@kbd{C-x +}) @xref{Change Window}.
@item
@code{split-window-vertically} (@kbd{C-x 2}) @xref{Split Window}.
@item
@code{enlarge-window} (@kbd{C-x ^}) @xref{Change Window}.
@end itemize
;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;
After being compiled into an info page by C-c C-m C-b
(texinfo-format-buffer), then loaded with C-h i, etc., it looks like
this:
;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;
- `delete-other-windows' (`C-x 1') *Note Change Window::.
- `balance-windows' (`C-x +') *Note Change Window::.
- `split-window-vertically' (`C-x 2') *Note Split Window::.
- `enlarge-window' (`C-x ^') *Note Change Window::.
;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;
I would like this list NOT to have the blank lines between the items.
The Texinfo info page "itemize" says this:
# Usually, you should put a blank line before an `@item'. This puts a
# blank line in the Info file. (TeX inserts the proper interline
# whitespace in either case.) Except when the entries are very brief,
# these blank lines make the list look better.
This kind of implies that if you DON'T put a blank line before the
`@item', blank lines will not be inserted between the items in the final
info file. It doesn't actually quite say this, though.
Can I indeed write such a list, without blank lines being inserted as
separators?
Thanks in advance for the help.

(like "aa"), remove half of them (leaving, say, "a").
