Details:

I'm running Octave 7.1.0 in windows and I've obtained an error installing the
generate_html package from octave Forge due to a change in the new version:


The increment and decrement operators ++ and -- must “hug” their
corresponding variables. In previous versions of Octave, whitespaces between
these operators and the variable they affect were allowed. That is no longer
the case.


The error is


error: parse error near line 89 of file
/opt/octave/share/octave/packages/generate_html-0.3.2/txi2index.m

  idx: invalid use of symbol as both variable and command

>>>           idx ++;
             ^
