Summary: Texinfo files get somewhat mangled by po4a
Category: None
Group: None
Resolution: None
Initial Comment:
I am unsure whether this can be considered an actual bug.
I took a texinfo file from the GNU Bash reference manual and sucessfully converted it
using texi2pdf. Then, I ran po4a -k0 over the original (without any localization strings)
and tried to convert that file to a pdf file, which utterly fails.
Makeinfo works on the file, though.
But I can't really make out any differences between the original file and the
unlocalized po4 output besides line breaks... (You might want to use KDiff3 instead of
command line diffing)

The bug was said to be partially fixed 8 years ago, nobody answered to my request for
additionnal debugging information.
I'm thus closing the bug without migration (I dunno what to migrate now). Please
reoppen in on github if the problem remains.
Thanks for your understanding,
Mt.

Could you guys provide a minimal working example for that bug? I'd like to work on its
resolution, but as is, I'm a bit clueless about what should be done. The provided
example is ways too long to be really useful.
Thanks in advance,
Mt.

Hello, thanks for your report.
This is indeed a bug, I just fixed lib/Locale/Po4a/Texinfo.pm in SVN. The pdf looks fine
to me now, but info generation is broken because of @ifset commands within @menu, I do not
know yet how to fix it.
