[Octave-bug-tracker] [bug #52775] PDF user manual uses a backward apostrophe ` in code examples

[Dan Sebald]

Follow-up Comment #35, bug #52775 (project octave):

Could you explore the behavior of makeinfo a bit?  I'm wondering if older
versions of Texinfo properly handled the exit status of the program.  For
example, change the contents of the conftest.texi to be


\input texinfo
@cindex foo
@bye


and run (I have Texinfo 6.1)


linux@ ~/octave/bug/52775 $ makeinfo --no-warn conftest.texi
linux@ ~/octave/bug/52775 $ echo $?
0


Then change conftest.texi to


\input texinfo
@cindex @sortas{a} foo
@bye


and run


address@hidden ~/octave/bug/52775 $ makeinfo --no-warn conftest.texi
address@hidden ~/octave/bug/52775 $ echo $?
0


Then change conftest.texi to


\input texinfo
@cindex @sssortas{a} foo
@bye


and run


linux@ ~/octave/bug/52775 $ makeinfo --no-warn conftest.texi
conftest.texi:2: unknown command `sssortas'
conftest.texi:2: misplaced {
conftest.texi:2: misplaced }
linux@ ~/octave/bug/52775 $ echo $?
1
