[Pkg-octave-devel] Bug#790626: Argument of \\ has an extra } ??

[Norbert Preining]

Hi everyone,

(short: one problem solved, another appeared: @SOMECMD{"\X"} does not work)

> Works for me with current texinfo.tex and the input below (to force

sorry for the noise. The problem lies with octave shipping an ancient
texinfo.tex (2009?). Removing it did bring up two new errors:

As of now there is code like:
	.... alarm character @qcode{"\a"} to ...
which errored out with
	undefined command

I had to change two occurrences of 
	@SOMECMD{"\X"}
to
	@SOMECMD{"\\X"}
Is this expected?

In any case, with the above two changes I could fix the building of
the octave texinfo manual.

(@ Octave maintainers: I will send patches (git format-patch) after
I have confirmed that everything is fine now)

All the best

Norbert
