It depends on whether the internal property is a *real* internal property (unable to be modified by the user), or if it's documented incorrectly in the Internals Reference. I believe the latter is the case with 'details. >> Occasionally, someone recommends tweaking a subproperty of 'details, >> so it is helpful to see the default settings documented in the >> Internals Reference. > > Unfortunately, there are different 'details lists for different grobs, > so there's not a generic set of defaults that we can list, if I understand > correctly. If 'details is moved to the list of user grob properties, then every grob containing default settings for 'details will have the appropriate values listed in the Internals Reference. After `make web', here are two pages that benefit from this change: http://uoregon.edu/~pmccarty/texi2html/Stem.html http://uoregon.edu/~pmccarty/texi2html/Slur.html Currently, if someone wants to find the default values for 'details, they have to search through scm/define-grobs.scm.
