I tried building elisp.pdf in emacs-25, and the build failed on line 560 of
frames.texi:
@itemize @w
Changing it to "@w{}" causes the build to go through. I'm using texinfo 6.0.
The docs say:
"If you don’t specify a mark command, the default is @bullet. If you don’t
want any mark at all, but still want logical items, use @w{} (in this case
the braces are required)."
In this a bug, or is it my version of Texinfo?
John

It was a mistake in the Texinfo source. @w requires braces
(confusing, I know, because @bullet doesn't).

The braces after @w are always required. "don't specify a mark
command" means
@itemize
on its own without a following @w. The braces are probably not required
with
@itemize @bullet
but I'm not sure about it. But that's likely the case that the
documentation was talking about.

@w takes an argument, @bullet doesn't.
