-
- Problems with texinfo documentation in libg++2.3
-
- I ran across the following problems making postscript files using
- tex (and texinfo) in the libg++2.3 package.
-
- 1) The file gperf.texinfo didn't seem to like texinfo version 2.89.
- I was able to get a good dvi file using texinfo version 2.1.
-
- 2) iostream.texi had errors where iostream& was used in a deftypefn.
- I changed it to iostream@& and that seemed to fix the problem.
- I found three places where & needed to be escaped.
-
- An example:
-
- @deftypefn Method ostream& ostream::vform(const char *@var{format}, ...)
-
- became:
-
- @deftypefn Method ostream@& ostream::vform(const char *@var{format}, ...)
-
- 3) The cygnus etc/{intro,relnotes}.texi files used fonts that
- are not common in standard tex. I was wondering if someone
- could recommend a substitution list for these (since they
- seem sort of generic):
-
- \texttt=pcrr \textbf=pncb \textit=pncri
- \textsl=pcrro \textsf=slcrst \ftfnt=phvr
- \indrm=pcnr \chapit=pncbi \chapsl=pcrbo
-
- By the way, I appreciate the work that Cygnus has been doing. It's
- a lot easier to bring up new Gnu versions these days!
