Thanks for the report.
The warning at glyphs.texi:1431 is genuine, and is now fixed in my
workspace. The others are Cygwin bogosity, I would guess. Apparently
Cygwin's makeinfo doesn't consider ASCII 13 whitespace in macro
arguments. Note the funky way all the allegedly erroneous text wraps
to the beginning of the same line. You could try reformatting those
lines so that line breaks don't occur in a ＠ref argument and with
extra whitespace padding the ends of the synindes lines.

Hi Stephen,
I looked into this too (in r21-4-6rc1 though) and this is what I came
up with:

To programmatically query whether or not a particular file format is

-＠code{png}, or ＠code{xface}. ＠xref{Image Specifiers} for an up-to-date

If I'm reading the texinfo docs correctly, I think the right fix is
to keep everything the same, except add a comma after the ＠xref closing
brace ("}"), like:
＠code{gif}, ＠code{tiff}, ＠code{jpeg}, ＠code{xpm}, ＠code{xbm},
＠code{png}, or ＠code{xface}. ＠xref{Image Specifiers}, for an up-to-date
list. Example:
(I think I need to update my copy of texinfo; makeinfo didn't complain
about the missing comma.)

The comma belongs there according to texinfo rules ;-). From the
texinfo manual:
*Please note:* A period or comma *must* follow the closing brace
of an `＠xref'. It is required to terminate the cross reference.
This period or comma will appear in the output, both in the Info
file and in the printed manual.

Yep, I have read that when I was trying to fix the problem earlier.
The real question is whether the resulting document is what you want.
I haven't found the correct use of references starting with "See
... bla bla." in my "Element of Style".
Either way, we have two options now to fix the problem.
Best regards,
Adrian

I don't think
"*Note Image Specifiers::, for an up-to-date list."
complete sentence nor proper punctuation :-)
But it's probably not worth spending more time on this.

That looks nice, yes.

Well, phrases like that are rampant in virtually all *.info
documentation. I don't like it either (;-), but that's what the texinfo
folks did. It's not very good English, but it's passable.
But it's probably not worth spending more time on this.
Yes. You'd have to change virtually every manual if you wanted to
change that.
