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

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

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

Thanks,
Dale

\v is the text-mode equivalent of 'vee' or \check{o}. file a 
question/bug at gmake's home?

Unimportant to the rest of this issue, but that commit only started
generating doc/org-version.tex.  The generation of doc/org-version.inc
wasn't modified.

Ehh, that's coming through fine on my end as

    % automatically generated, do not edit
    \def\orgversionnumber{9.0.9}
    \def\versionyear{2017}
    \def\year{2017}

I'm guessing that I should rewrite the command in a more portable way.
Not sure what that is offhand.

Can you verify that the below change works on your system?

Thanks.

Subject: [PATCH] doc/Makefile: Use printf to generate org-version.tex

* doc/Makefile (org-version.tex): Use printf instead of echo to
increase portability.

By default GNU coreutil's echo disables the interpretation of
backslash escapes (-E option), but this isn't the case for some echo
variants.

Confirmed, I can now "make card" successfully.  Thanks!
