Thank you for the report; I will look into it when I have time.

Hi,

using texinfo 6.7, I ran into the following problem:

Writing documentation for a ${variable} feature, "${variable}" should
appear in the index also under "{".  Hence I added a @sortas somethink
like that:

@cindex $@{variable@} @sortas{@{variable}

However, the entry appears in section "$".

IIUC, @sortas should also work for special characters? It appears to
work with --pdf output but not for HTML.

What also does not work is:

@cindex $@{variable@} @sortas{@lbracechar{}variable}
