This is input showing a def line continuation:
@deffn Function foo (bar,@
baz)
aaaaaaaaaa
@end deffn
This is the output with Texinfo 4.13:
-- Function: foo (bar, baz)
aaaaaaaaaa
This is the output with Texinfo 7.0.3:
-- Function: foo (bar,baz)
aaaaaaaaaa
In addition, with texinfo.tex, a space is output between "bar," and "baz".
I tried looking back through mailing lists and ChangeLog entries for
any information but there isn't much. From what I can see, this line
continuation feature was added in December 2003 (entry on 2003-12-13 by
Alper Ersoy), and included in Texinfo 4.7 in April 2004.
Was this perhaps a deliberate change made when texi2any was rewritten
in Perl?
