2. For all current features of the Texinfo language, the docbook output
generated by makeinfo should be valid docbook. I think we all agree
on this as a principle.
Agreed.
If we accept this, then for makeinfo --docbook, any text
following @part and preceding the first @chapter should be
wrapped in <partintro> tags, and Patrice should fix this.
I am fine for makeinfo to issue a warning about such text if not
in docbook mode.
Karl, do you approve this docbook-specific fix?
I guess I'm ok with both parts of this (the <partintro> and the
non-docbook warning), but ...
wrapping <partintro> tags in @docbook works
.. that actually seems cleaner to me.
Thanks, and sorry to be such a curmudgeon about it all.
