Hello there,
I have coreutils 5.2.1 and texinfo 4.8 installed.
Two notes regarding tr's documentation:
1) "man tr" points to "info coreutils tr" but this commands
brings me to the node "Trailing slashes" not to "tr invocation".
2) Node "Character sets" of the tr documentation states that
GNU `tr' does not support the System V syntax that uses square
brackets to enclose ranges. Translations specified in that format
sometimes work as expected, since the brackets are often
transliterated to themselves. However, they should be avoided
because they sometimes behave unexpectedly. For example, `tr -d
'[0-9]'' deletes brackets as well as digits.
however node "Putting the tools together" teaches you bad habits
with many examples such as
$ tr '[A-Z]' '[a-z]' < whats.gnu | tr -cd '[A-Za-z0-9_ \012]' |
> tr -s '[ ]' '\012' | ...
cheerio
