Undefined control sequence. >l.365 @heading The problem is that @heading is defined in the special texinfo.tex in the GNU Emacs Lisp Manual distribution, but not in the regular version of texinfo.tex that's distributed with GNU Emacs. A comment in the special texinfo.tex states that it is supposed to be merged with the regular texinfo.tex, but that hasn't happened yet. Note that @heading is also used in the following GNU documents: bison.texinfo gcc.texinfo gawk.texinfo gdb.texinfo gperf.texinfo make.texinfo Since @heading is already being used in GNU documents, it is certainly desirable that other GNUers be able to format their documents, also. -- -------------------------------------------- James Buster Mad Hacker Extraordinaire bitbug@lonewolf.sun.com sun.com!lonewolf!bitbug --------------------------------------------
