Follow-up Comment #4:
@Colin: I had a question about the change to dashes. Using '--' in TeXinfo
produces an en-dash. Usually compound adjectives just need a hyphen. Is
there some special reason to want an en-dash in an expression like
"Dormand--Prince method" where the two names form a compound adjective?
Occasionally one uses an en-dash to show connection, as in the
"Washington--Baltimore train line". And even more infrequently, one uses the
en-dash to show connection with each side having equal weight as in "The
Mason--Dixon Line".
I think I would just use regular hyphens here to form a compound adjective
"Dormand-Prince" modifying "method".
Second question was this change
-## name of the function that defines the ODE: @code{y' = f(t,y,yp)}. The
+## name of the function that defines the ODE: @code{0 = f(t,y,yp)}. The
Would it be clearer to write
+## name of the function that defines the ODE: @code{y' = 0 = f(t,y,yp)}.
The
It seems that it is still useful to document that the function f calculates
the first derivative of y.
