Re: Texinfo - manual line breaks in URLs?

[Michael Käppler]

Hi Werner,
with the last fixes in texinfo.tex, the output looks much better now,
the @verbatim indentation is fixed, the URL spacing is sometimes better,
sometimes worse than with the old texinfo.tex version, IMHO.
The issue with the additional space in front of manually sorted index
entries is fixed for
most entries, the problem persists for entries like

@funindex @sortas[fooA} foo
@funindex @sortas{fooB} \foo

however.
I tried to understand how this whole macro expansion magic works,
reading the 'TeXbook' back and forth, but this is currently beyond my
depth.

Do you think this one can be regarded as a regression in texinfo.tex, too?
I'm asking, because I was not sure, if the way we use the @sortas macro
is intended.
(Defining our own macro @funindex that uses @sortas and then putting in
another @sortas
between @funindex and the argument...)

Cheers,
Michael
