Hi!

a8d007db15 starts generating doc/org-version.{tex,inc}, but on my OS X system this ends up creating broken files with (I believe) vertical tab characters in them.  On HEAD this morning:

$ make card
[...]
PDFLATEX=pdftex texi2pdf --batch --clean --expand orgcard.tex
This is pdfTeX, Version 3.14159265-2.6-1.40.18 (TeX Live 2017) (preloaded format=pdftex)

$ cat doc/org-version.tex

I have no idea how that \v is getting turned into a vertical tab.  Is make processing these?

echo "double: 123\\v456"
double: 123
           456

Is this something screwed up in my environment or are others seeing this as well?

Thanks,
