Can you explain, please? Taken at face value, it looks like a bug in TeX.pm, whereby a variable is not initialized. > idlwave.texi > > idlwave.texi:370: (po4a::tex) > unmatched end of environment 'html' > idlwave.texi:1242: (po4a::tex) > unmatched end of environment 'html' > idlwave.texi:2964: (po4a::tex) > unmatched end of environment 'html' > idlwave.texi:3101: (po4a::tex) > unmatched end of environment 'html' > idlwave.texi:3497: (po4a::tex) > unmatched end of environment 'html' > idlwave.texi:3559: (po4a::tex) > unmatched end of environment 'html' > idlwave.texi:4021: (po4a::tex) > unmatched end of environment 'html' > idlwave.texi:4078: (po4a::tex) > unmatched end of environment 'html' These all seem bogus, because the source looks correct to me. Here's the first instance: @html @end html I see nothing wrong here; do you? (Maybe you are using an old version of the manual; I looked in what's currently on the emacs-26 branch of the Emacs Git repository.) > idlwave.texi:4088: (po4a::tex) > un-balanced { in 'Whenever an IDL error occurs or a breakpoint is hit, I get' Nothing wrong here, either: @enumerate @item @strong{Whenever an IDL error occurs or a breakpoint is hit, I get errors or strange behavior when I try to type anything into some of my IDLWAVE buffers.} The Texinfo manual says it's okay to have multi-line text after @item: Write the text of the enumerated list in the same way as an itemized list: write a line starting with '@item' at the beginning of each item in the enumeration. It is ok to have text following the '@item', and the text for an item can continue for several paragraphs. Looks like po4a doesn't support this feature of the Texinfo language? > org.texi > > perl just keeps churning data without outputting anything. Hard to do anything with this, without more diagnostic data. > A number of other manuals output errors but are properly exported to po: These looks bogus as well. E.g.: > cmdargs.texi:726: (po4a::tex) > unmatched end of environment 'vtable' There's a matching "@vtable @env" on line 674. So I submit these problems are bugs in po4a, and the Emacs manuals are OK. Thanks.
