Hello I am using a Emacs with no custom config.  Here is the version info Emacs  : GNU Emacs 28.0.50 (build 3, x86_64-pc-linux-gnu, GTK+ Version 3.24.24, cairo version 1.16.0)  of 2021-03-20 Package: Org mode version 9.4.4 (release_9.4.4 @ /usr/local/share/emacs/28.0.50/lisp/org/) When I export the following snippet to TexInfo format the export fails. ** To add a package: (submission, submit) Adding a basic package is very simple.  There are thorough instructions below, but the gist of it is that you: (FWIW, the above snippet is from the README file of Emacs's official ELPA repo. cf. https://git.savannah.gnu.org/cgit/emacs/elpa.git/tree/README#n80) The error report in *Messages* buffer is Processing Texinfo file test.texi... test.texi:4: warning: @settitle missing argument test.texi:11: warning: @title missing argument test.texi:23: @menu reference to nonexistent node `(submission' test.texi:26: warning: node `Top' is up for `To add a package (submission submit)' in sectioning but not in menu test.texi:18: node `Top' lacks menu item for `To add a package (submission submit)' despite being its Up target org-compile-file: File "/home/rameshnedunchezian/test.info" wasn’t produced.  See "*Org INFO Texinfo Output*" for details The error reported in *Org INFO Texinfo Output*  is test.texi:4: warning: @settitle missing argument test.texi:11: warning: @title missing argument test.texi:23: @menu reference to nonexistent node `(submission' test.texi:26: warning: node `Top' is up for `To add a package (submission submit)' in sectioning but not in menu test.texi:18: node `Top' lacks menu item for `To add a package (submission submit)' despite being its Up target This is how test.texi looks like \input texinfo @c -*- texinfo -*- @c %**start of header @setfilename test.info @settitle @documentencoding UTF-8 @documentlanguage en @c %**end of header @finalout @titlepage @title @author Ramesh Nedunchezian @end titlepage @contents @ifnottex @node Top @top @end ifnottex @menu * To add a package: (submission, submit): To add a package (submission submit). @end menu @node To add a package (submission submit) @chapter To add a package: (submission, submit) Adding a basic package is very simple.

Looks like the TexInfo exporter may have to take some extra steps when there is a 'colon' in the headline text.
