Re: feature request for sidebars

[arnold]

Hi.

I have fixed that sidebar to be a subsection and made other changes
for LaTeX support. It's now integrated into the gawk-5.2-stable and
master branches in the gawk git repo.

W.R.T. sidebars, please let me know when texinfo.tex supports
@cartouche with a title.

This has been an interesting and fun thread. I feel like we've
accomplished something worthwhile, even if just in a small way.
Thanks very much!
