Octave changed the way it interprets command syntax. See also bug #60882. We should probably add something about this in the NEWS file.

Like in your patch, the generate_html package would need to change `idx ++` to `idx++` to be compatible with the new parsing rules.

In dev octave 7, attempting to install generate_html:



octave:1> pkg install -forge generate_html
error: parse error near line 89 of file /home/jade/.local/share/octave/api-v56+/packages/generate_html-0.3.2/txi2index.m

  idx: invalid use of symbol as both variable and command

>>>           idx ++;
             ^
error: called from
    doc_cache_create>create_cache at line 116 column 20
    gen_doc_cache_in_dir>@<anonymous> at line 150 column 16
    doc_cache_create>gen_doc_cache_in_dir at line 151 column 9

    install>generate_lookfor_cache at line 840 column 5

Same error occurs from repo.
