The first is to use texinfo-format-buffer inside gnu emacs. Very recent texinfo files may not format correctly with the texinfo-format-buffer in 18.55. The second way is to use the standalone makeinfo program that comes with the elisp manual (elisp.tar.Z, if I remember right), on prep.ai.mit.edu. This is your best bet. -- Arnold Robbins AudioFAX, Inc. | Laundry increases 2000 Powers Ferry Road, #200 / Marietta, GA. 30067 | exponentially in the INTERNET: arnold@audiofax.com Phone: +1 404 933 7612 | number of children.
