Re: texinfo 4.7 missing endcsname from ref in @copying

[Karl Berry]

Hi Kevin,

    /home/gg/bug/texinfo-endcsname/foo.texi:27: Missing @endcsname inserted

Thanks for the report.

The problem is the line break in the middle of the @ref.  If you put the
@ref arg all on one line, it works.

Although ordinarily line breaks are equivalent to spaces, it's nearly
impossible to make this work within @copying, for various TeXnical
reasons.  (See the documentation above \insertcopying in texinfo.tex if
you want the details.)  At least, I can't think of a plausible way to do
it.  Maybe Stepan can :).

I'll add something about this in the documentation, at least.

Sorry.
