Re: extra blank lines from @ifset inside @example

[Karl Berry]

Hi Bob,

Thanks for the report.

    I discovered a problem in texinfo.tex where each @ifset that is  
    skipped adds a blank line inside an @example environment.

Yikes.

    Here is a simple testcase that demonstrates the problem.  I would  
    greatly appreciate any solutions or suggestions for fixing it.

A real solution is not apparent to me right now, it's deep in the ugly
end-of-line parsing, but for a workaround, if I put @c right after the
address@hidden ifset', I get no spurious blank line.  Like this:

@example
first line
@ifset A
@end address@hidden
last line (should be right after the first)
@end example

Except, oh sigh, that fails with makeinfo.  Are you using both the
makeinfo output as well as the TeX output?

Thanks,
Karl
