If you are interested in working on any of these,
|
||
|
|
email bug-texinfo@prep.ai.mit.edu.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
* Use Automake.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
* Use a config header file instead of @DEFS@.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
* A detexinfo program, like detex or delatex. This command would
|
||
|
|
strip all the texinfo commands out, and would be used as a filter on
|
||
|
|
the way to a speller. An option would be to NOT strip comments out.
|
||
|
|
makeinfo --no-headers come close.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
* Change bars. This is difficult or impossible in TeX,
|
||
|
|
unfortunately. To do it right requires device driver support.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
* The dark corner symbol for the gawk manual.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
* Better i18n support, including support for 8-bit input
|
||
|
|
characters. Requires fonts, and the DC fonts are not (as of this
|
||
|
|
writing) free.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
* @exercise/@answer command for, e.g., gawk.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
* @figure.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
* HTML output in makeinfo.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
* Include a complete functional summary, a la a reference card, in the manual.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
* Use @ as the escape character, and Texinfo syntax generally, in the
|
||
|
|
table of contents, aux, and index files. Eliminate all the crazy
|
||
|
|
redefinitions of every Texinfo command (which lists always seem to be
|
||
|
|
incomplete).
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
* Improve the manuals for makeinfo, standalone info, etc.
