Follow-up Comment #4:

@Colin: I had a question about the change to dashes.  Using '--' in TeXinfo
produces an en-dash.  Usually compound adjectives just need a hyphen.  Is
there some special reason to want an en-dash in an expression like
"Dormand--Prince method" where the two names form a compound adjective?

Occasionally one uses an en-dash to show connection, as in the
"Washington--Baltimore train line".  And even more infrequently, one uses the
en-dash to show connection with each side having equal weight as in "The
Mason--Dixon Line".

I think I would just use regular hyphens here to form a compound adjective
"Dormand-Prince" modifying "method".

Second question was this change


-## name of the function that defines the ODE: @code{y' = f(t,y,yp)}.  The
+## name of the function that defines the ODE: @code{0 = f(t,y,yp)}.  The


Would it be clearer to write


+## name of the function that defines the ODE: @code{y' = 0 = f(t,y,yp)}. 
The


It seems that it is still useful to document that the function f calculates
the first derivative of y.
