Re: @displaymath in @iftex

[Raymond Toy]

Ah, thanks.  I see now that my m4 macro invocation was adding an extra line because trailing whitespace of an arg is included as part of the arg.  And the offending code did this.

Really sorry for all of the trouble!

If you put that into a Texinfo file and process it with texinfo.tex,
you get an error message like

! Missing $ inserted.
<inserted text>
                $
<to be read again>
                   @par
l.24


@par is a token that is inserted at the end of a paragraph, indicated
by blank lines.  l.24 refers to line 24, which was blank.  If you
remove that blank line, the file processes without error and the output
appears to be as expected:
