I don't understand what this error message means, in terms of = the

looks like a = bug in TeX.pm, whereby a variable is not initialized.

I just sent the report, my idea is that it's po4a = issues but the po4a-devel list doesn't respond.

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.
