Re: [help-texinfo] Macros within @example and newlines, with TeX output

[Karl Berry]

Hi Luca,

You could try adding @c, as in:

@macro q{text}
address@hidden
@end macro

(I don't know if it will change things, and can't try it myself right
now, sorry.  It's just what comes to mind.)

As you probably know, there is a long list of caveats, many relating to
newlines, in the Macro Details node, including this @c stuff.
Discrepancies are unavoidable, all fixes just make the problem worse.
As that node says, -E sometimes helps and sometimes makes things worse.
If it works for you, be happy.

Overall, I recommend (a) not using @macro, perhaps by (b) using m4
(a rational macro system) instead.
