That is _still_ a very unreliable heuristic. For instance, in Bob's example file foo.texi, after the: Here are three dots with the @@dots@{@} on a filled line xxxxxxxxxxxxx @dots{} Paste in the extra text (separated by blank lines): @verbatim ***** *BOX* ***** @end verbatim run makeinfo on it and see how horribly badly this gets displayed in `emacs -Q -nbc' Not only is the ending ***** line not displayed, the *BOX* line in displayed in a ridiculously large font. The displayed stuff does not even remotely resemble the intended box. I do not believe that the "fix" you proposed fixes this. The standalone info gets this completely correct. I also get it correct with my .emacs file, which solidly corrects these types of bugs in info.el (both the bugs in font and invisibility). Sincerely, Luc.
