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. -- Alan Mackenzie (Munich, Germany) Email: aacm@muuc.dee; to decode, wherever there is a repeated letter (like "aa"), remove half of them (leaving, say, "a").
