I find myself writing something like

------------ Start quote
A general note on random number generation.  All functions which
return a draw from some density need a
@ifinfo
U(0, 1)
@end ifinfo
@iftex
@tex
$U(0, 1)$
@end tex
@end iftex
random number internally.
------------ End quote

which feels quite suboptimal.  Is there a more convenient way to
go about it?

(I'm in larval stage with Texinfo... hence the flurry of questions.
Is there a mailing list or newsgroup about it?)

        -ans.
