"makeinfo -E" was never used too much, so I'm not surprised. It is also a problematic concept, because the choice of things it expands as opposed to those it leaves alone is such that cannot possibly work in some use cases. Here, "work" means that passing the results of -E to makeinfo should give you the same output as running makeinfo once without the -E. > I think that this behaviour isn't correct and I would prefer not to > have it in texi2any. Which behavior you allude to here, exactly? The one with -E or without?
