Re: Itemize/enumerate in multitable

[Karl Berry]

Hi Pierre,

    @multitable @columnfractions 0.2 0.4 0.4
    ...
    @itemize
    ...

Thanks for the report.  See patch attached (also checked in).  I am
pretty amazed that this fixes it, and maybe there are problems I'm not
seeing, but it makes your test case work, anyway.


    stepan> @item {first} @tab second @tab {three}

Hi Stepan -- in general, we don't ever want to do this.  The "bare
brace" syntax that we use in @defun is just monstrous to parse, a total
special case compared to braces in the rest of Texinfo.  (It should
never have been "designed" that way.)

Thanks,
k
