Hi Hilmar: as I said, the bug is not present in the Perl implementation. Therefore I did not fix in the C implementation (I have no intention of continuing to redundantly maintain the C). Therefore there is no patch. Sorry.

Hi karl,

did you fix it in CVS? If yes, could you give us a patch?

Many thanks,
Hilmar

Hi Hilmar -- I confirm the bug in the makeinfo C implementation, but it does not exist in the Perl implementations, so ... fixed for the next release :). The bug is not present in texinfo.tex.

Thanks,
karl

Down here in the Debian bug tracking system we got a report about makeinfo not behaving correctly: http://bugs.debian.org/583558

The @noindent command has no effect if it is not preceded by a blank line (at least for the info file), e.g.:

@example
This is an example
@end example

@noindent
This line is not indented. As you can see, the beginning of the line is fully flush left with the line that follows after it. (This whole example is between @code{@@display} and @code{@@end display}.)
@bye

Process that file using makeinfo and inspect the output info file.

When removing the blank line after "@end example" the second block is indented. I checked with makeinfo 4.13a and the latest source code from CVS. I just compiled the makeinfo binary, but did not replace the whole texinfo installation. AFAICT makeinfo does not open many files when processing the texi file.
