Hi Bob,
Any update on this?
Sorry it's taken so long. I just looked at your last report, and I
can't actually reproduce it with your fragment -- see sample file below,
which works ok with tug.org/ftp/tex/texinfo.tex. So, can you send me
something that causes the failure? I don't really care how big it is,
as long as it's something I can run TeX on directly.
I'd try to fix it myself, but the parsing macros have
gotten way to complicated for my rather limited TeX skills....
They are indeed extremely painful. Especially the conditional stuff,
which has always been fraught with error. I doubt it is possible to
make it work completely robustly. texi2dvi -e might help, or then
again, it might make matters worse.
BTW, it probably isn't relevant to the present problem, but TeX will
work better in some cases if you restrict your variable names to letters
(a-zA-Z) only, no - or _ or numbers or anything else ...
Thanks,
Karl
