Hello Karl,
the latest XEmacs 21.2-b20 CVS sources have been synched with texinfo
4.0.
This surfaced the problem that the `texinfo' package of XEmacs does
not support the ＠ifnottex .. ＠end ifnottex construct.
Further investigation shows that texinfo-3.12 has problems with this
construct also. Was this a bug in 3.12? Sources indicate that it
should support the construct.
makeinfo-4.0 has not problems translating texinfo.txi and info.texi.
Thanks for any insight into the issue.
d:\tmp\texinfo-4.0\ChangeLog:
Sun Nov 29 17:12:35 1998 Karl Berry <karl(a)gnu.org>
* doc/texinfo.txi: Use ＠ifnottex rather than ＠ifinfo for ＠top.
(makeinfo top): document this.
* doc/info-stnd.texi,
* doc/info.texi: Use ＠ifnottex rather than ＠ifinfo for ＠top.
Best regards,
Adrian

I did not have the same experience as Adrian, but I am on Linux using
makeinfo 3.12f (and 4.0) and Adrian is on Windows NT. For me makeinfo
3.12f works fine.

I send patch against texinfmt.el to both bug-gnu-emacs and
bug-texinfo and got reply from rms, but it wasn't applied to
Emacs 20.4.91 in some reason. I've just resended it to
rms. If no one volunteers, I'll sync texinfo stuff with 20.5
when it is released.
You only need to add just these two lines to handle
＠ifnottex. It's semantically equivalent to ＠ifinfo when
formatting Info.
(put 'ifnottex 'texinfo-format 'texinfo-discard-line)
(put 'ifnottex 'texinfo-end 'texinfo-discard-command)

3.12f is a pretest version and has many bug fixes and some
new bugs. :-)
I've no longer have texinfo 3.12 installed, so I cannot test
if it's actually a bug of 3.12.
