We do not have "lint" programs in GNU. Instead we make compilers issue error or warning messages when the input has a flaw worth calling the user's attention to. So if Texinfo input has a problem tha calls for an error or warning message, it should be reported by makeinfo ot Tex. Can you suggest a specific situation in which makeinfo or tex ought to eit a diagnostic message for certain Texinfo input? How about mailing that to bug-texinfo@gnu.org? -- Dr Richard Stallman (https://stallman.org) Chief GNUisance of the GNU Project (https://gnu.org) Founder, Free Software Foundation (https://fsf.org) Internet Hall-of-Famer (https://internethalloffame.org)
