[Rik]

Update of bug #33434 (project octave):

Follow-up Comment #3:

This is okay.  The .txi file has the text of the manual and then uses a macro,
@DOCSTRING(function_name), to insert Texinfo documentation that is stored with
the function.  For example, in the instance you cite the .txi file contains:


Formatted data from can be read from, or written to, text files as well.

@DOCSTRING(textread)

@DOCSTRING(textscan)


The first sentence is copied directly from io.txi to io.texi.  And in this
case, the rest of the documentation comes from the Texinfo strings embedded
with the functions in .m files.  If you look a few lines above line #982 in
io.texi you will find a comment line which identifies the function name and
where the documentation came from.  In this case,


@c textscan scripts/io/textscan.m
