Hi All,
Changing \t to \\t ... results in a doubled-up \\ in pdf output.
I'll see if I can fix that. It is twisty TeX.
Trying to use @backslash{}t failed, because there is no @backslash
command (should there be?).
Conceivably, but it wouldn't really help you now if we added it, since
of course current makeinfo wouldn't recognize it.
Any other ideas for a workaround that works for both info and pdf?
Aside from Ralf's solution of not using macros (sounds good to me :),
oddly enough, using yet another macro worked in some simple tests for
me (I didn't try your actual manual, though). Like this:
@macro mybs
\\
@end macro
@macro mymac {myarg}
\myarg\
@end macro
@address@hidden
I'm getting a\b (one backslash) in both pdf and info.
Sorry,
karl
P.S. I wish macros did not use \'s. That was a poor design.
