I see, there is a newline at the end of an @ifhtml block, but not (at
present) for html. Input:

\input texinfo

@html
foo1
gaaz1
@end html
bar

bas
@html
foo2
gaaz2
@end html
bar

@ifhtml
FOO1
GAAZ1
@end ifhtml
BAR

BAS
@ifhtml
FOO2
GAAZ2
@end ifhtml
BAR

@bye

Output:

foo1
gaaz1<p>bar
</p>
<p>bas
foo2
gaaz2bar
</p>
<p>FOO1
GAAZ1
BAR
</p>
<p>BAS
FOO2
GAAZ2
BAR
</p>

Notably compare the joined "gaaz2bar" with "GAAZ2" and "BAR" on separate lines.

an @html block certainly should not open a paragraph, leading a "<p>"
tag to be output. I would guess that if someone really needed an @html
block inside a paragraph, they could do

@indent
@html
whatever
@end html
more

although I haven't checked - or just use @inlineraw.
