Import of texinfo-4.7, as prepared by texinfo2netbsd. Changes since 4.6: 4.7 (9 April 2004) * Language: . new commands @float, @caption, @shortcaption, @listoffloats for initial implementation of floating material (figures, tables, etc). Ironically, they do not yet actually float anywhere. . new commands @docbook, @ifdocbook, @ifnotdocbook for conditional Docbook. . new commands @ordf{} and @ordm{} for Spanish feminine/masculine ordinals. . new commands @deftypecv[x] for class variables in typed OO languages. . new command @registeredsymbol for the r-in-a-circle symbol. . new command @headitem to make a heading row in @multitable. . new command @LaTeX{} for the LaTeX logo. . new command @comma{} to avoid comma-parsing problems. . @url is now a synonym for @uref; new command @indicateurl has the old meaning of just displaying a url as text. . @quotation now accepts an optional argument for labelling the text as a `Note', `Tip', etc. . @defun (et al.) heading lines can now be continued with a lone @. . @acronym accepts an optional argument for the meaning of the acronym. * makeinfo: . New environment variable TEXINFO_OUTPUT_FORMAT determines the output format at runtime, if no options are specified. . New option --plaintext, equivalent to --no-headers with Info output. . All outputs: - sections are numbered by default. . Info output: - punctuation is inserted after @pxref and @ref, if needed to make cross-references valid. - line numbers included in index menus, so Info readers can go to the exact line of an entry, not just a node. Also in plaintext output. - ^@^H[index^@^H] cookie included in index menus, so Info readers can handle the ] etc. commands better. . HTML output: - new algorithm for cross-references to other manuals, for maximum portability and stability. - include node name in <title> with split output. - @multicolumn fractions become percentages. - entities used for bullets, quotes, dashes, and others. - index entries are links to the exact locations. - <h4> and <h5> used for @sub and @subsubsections again. - accented dotless i supported. . XML output: many new tags and structure to preserve more source features. . Docbook output: - upgraded DTD to Docbook XML 4.2, no longer using Docbook SGML. - improved translation in general, for instance: - line annotations and marked quotations. * texi2dvi: . if available, use etex (pdfetex if --pdf) by default. . if the input file includes thumbpdf.sty (for LaTeX), then run thumbpdf. . more output if --debug. * texinfo.tex: . @defun names are now printed in typewriter (instead of bold), and within the arguments, @var text is printed in slanted typewriter. . @tex code is executed inside a TeX group, so that any changes must be prefixed with \global (or the equivalent) to be effective. (This change was actually made years ago, but never made it into the NEWS.) * info: . new option --where (aka --location, -w) to report where an Info file would be found, instead of reading it. . by default, output ANSI terminal escape sequences as-is; new option --no-raw-escapes overrides this. . use the newly-generated index line numbers. * Distribution: . new script gendocs.sh (not installed), for use by GNU maintainers in getting their manuals on the GNU web site. Documented in maintain.texi (http://www.gnu.org/prep/maintain_toc.html). . Most code uses ANSI C prototypes, to some extent. . New translation: nb. . automake 1.8.3, autoconf 2.59, gettext 0.14.1.

The .tex files are not installed automatically because TeX installations
vary so widely. Installing them in the wrong place would give a false
sense of security. So, you should simply cp *.tex to the appropriate
place. If your installation follows the TeX Directory Structure

standard (http://tug.org/tds/), this will be the directory

2003-01-17 17:54:14 +03:00
TEXMF/tex/texinfo/ for texinfo.tex, TEXMF/tex/generic/dvips/ for epsf.tex,
and TEXMF/pdftex/plain/misc for pdfcolor.tex. If you use the default
installation paths, TEXMF will be /usr/local/share/texmf. On systems
with TeX preinstalled, as most GNU/Linux distributions offer, TEXMF
will often be something like /usr/share/texmf.

It is also possible to put these .tex files in a `local' place instead

of overwriting existing ones, but this is more complicated. See your TeX

documentation in general and the texmf.cnf file in particular for information.
If you add files to your TeX installations, not just replace existing
ones, you very likely have to update your ls-R file; do this with the
mktexlsr command. In older versions, this was named MakeTeXls-R.

You can get the latest texinfo.tex from
Import of texinfo-4.5. Major changes since 4.3: * Language: . The ' (ASCII apostrophe/right quote) character is finally allowed in node and anchor names. Thus, after installing this texinfo.tex, existing .aux files will cause errors! Remove them and rerun TeX to generate good ones. . @value constructs are now expanded in the filename arguments to @include and @verbatiminclude. * texinfo.tex: . @smallexample and the like now output in a smaller font (9pt) in all paper formats, not just @smallbook and @afourpaper. . new translation txi-tr.tex. * info: . CTRL-H is treated like DEL in incremental search. . arrow keys once again work in isearch contexts under Solaris. * infokey: . use .info key bindings before defaults. . allow prefix keys to be disabled. Bug fixes all around.

If you have problems with the version in this distribution, please check
for a newer version.
epsf.tex comes with dvips distributions, and you may already have it
installed. The version here is functionally identical but slightly
nicer than the one in dvips574. The changes have been sent to the
epsf.tex maintainer.
