Subject: bug#49947: Backtrace on "@abbr{...}" in package description
Date: Sun, 08 Aug 2021 17:01:31 -0700	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <868s1blc4k.fsf@mgsn.dev> (raw)

Hello Guix,

The Texinfo manual says [0] that I should be able to use @abbr, and
prefer it over @acronym when the text is not all capital letters, but I
get a backtrace when I try to use it in a package description:

--8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8---

If this isn't an oversight, and not all Texinfo markup is supported,
that should be noted in the manual.
