Follow-up Comment #1, bug #52773 (project octave):
I've looked at this one just a bit. I've confirmed that xpdf has the same
behavior as xreader. It's clear that the Texinfo input doesn't matter. I.e.,
this
@table @asis
@anchor{XREFfigurealphamap}
@cindex figure alphamap
@item @code{alphamap}: def. 64-by-1 double
to use
@cindex {figure alphamap}
i.e., curly parentheses around what should be treated as a lumped string of
text, outright fails.
It's strange. I recompiled octave.pdf and the blocky behavior I illustrated
in the original post's PNG figure has gone away for 'figure deletefcn'. It's
because the index was reduced slightly (with what I was working on) and no
longer is there a whole column of entries that being with "figure". That is,
no longer is there this arrangement:
figure colormap . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .
399
figure createfcn . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .
399
figure currentaxes . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .
399
[snip]
figure windowstyle . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .
403
[page or block ends here]
By "block" I mean like a letter group A is all one block, B is all one block,
etc.
So, I would guess this is either a TeX behavior or a dvi2pdf behavior. I
wonder why it is doing this. Is it because the "figure etc" originates from a
table? Or is the responsible program to trying to compress the data as much
as possible by locally defining "figure" in PostScript/PDF and replicating
that object thirty times.
I will look for some command line switch for tex2dvi or something similar.
Otherwise, I think this is something out of Octave's hands.
