[Bug 1181678] Re: build-error with texinfo 5.1
THX for feeding the doc into Texinfo-5.1 again.
I'm still on makeinfo-4.13, so I cannot check myself yet.
Thus, the problem will remain unless someone sends us a patch.
On a medium time-scale I'm inclined to switch to plain LaTeX
and drop Texinfo. The vast majority of users doesn't read the
documentation at all. The rest prefers PDF. Or whatever HTML,
if it only is on a public server.

Title:
build-error with texinfo 5.1
Status in Enblend:
New
Bug description:
Hello,
documentation generation fails with texinfo 5.1. texinfo seems to have stopped supporting colons in variable names (@set <-> @value), causing errors like this one:
-----
doc/enfuse.texi:564: bad syntax for @value
-----
According to texinfo 5.1 documentation basically the only thing
guaranteed to work are alpha-numericals:
Subsequent characters, if any, may not be whitespace, ‘@’, braces,
angle brackets, or any of ‘~`^+|’; other characters, such as ‘%’, may
work. However, it is best to use only letters and numerals in a flag
name, not ‘-’ or ‘_’ or others—they will work in some contexts, but
not all, due to limitations in TeX.
