| 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. |
