If not, I'd say texinfo.tex should be > modified to fix that. It is actually an inheritance from plain TeX, where \' is just a simple accent construct. In plain TeX, one types \'\i which is reasonably easy to type. @'{@dotless{i}}, however, is not really pretty. Texinfo is not smart about encodings like LaTeX is. It is a package on the level of plain TeX. -- David Kastrup, Kriemhildstr. 15, 44793 Bochum
