Re: @caption ignored in texi2dvi (and friends)

[Karl Berry]

Hi Nikos --

    @macro showenumdesc{ref,cap}
    @float Figure,\ref\
    This is a figure
    @caption{\cap\}
    @end float
    @end macro

Hmm, works for me with the latest texinfo.tex.
http://ftp.gnu.org/gnu/texinfo/texinfo.tex

But in general, I strongly recommend staying away from macros when at
all possible.  They cause no end of grief.
