Please note that the footer on page 4 (this is physical page 8) is one
line lower than the footer on page 3 and 5.
Thanks for the sample input. Turns out it was (I think) an easy bug to
fix. Diff below, and updated ftp://tug.org/tex/texinfo.tex, among other
places.
Let me know if still
Perhaps it is possible to change them to roman, providing an
@italicleaders command for backwards compatibility...
I changed the leaders back to regular periods. Didn't bother with an
option. We'll see if anyone notices.

Well, looking at them with a PDF viewer, they look really bad IMHO.
Shrug. That's how I was looking at them. They don't look especially
bad to me.

No, it's not worth a

I have exactly the same question...

I wasn't aware that it was. Will look into it.

PS: A related thing is the use of `Chapter:' in the header line. I
consider this redundant; a simple number would be sufficient.
Consequently, I would like to see @thissectionname, @thissecnum,
and @thischapnum.
I added @thischapternum for use in headers/footers.

BTW, a footer string as defined with @xxxfooting jumps up and down
within the output -- this is *really* ugly, and I consider it as a
severe typographical bug (I use texinfo 4.8).
I cannot reproduce this with the current texinfo.tex

Hi Werner,

We would be glad if you could incorporate those patches and additional
files.
Assuming Taco et al. install the changes, I will look at the doc stuff
for both web2c and metapost when the time comes ..
The bug-groff mailing list was previously accepting mail from anyone,
thus unfortunately passing on plenty of spam. With Werner's approval,
I've now configured it to hold messages from "strangers", so there may
be a small delay for first-time posters.

Hi Werner,
you select page `13' in acroread, you actually go to the page labeled
`13' which is physical page 36 or so. To go to page `xiii', you have
to type `xiii' in the `go to Page' dialogue.
It's not clear to me that this is necessarily an improvement, if this
behavior is unalter
Hi Werner,
Please add a proper @thissection command
This means using marks, etc. Sorry, I don't plan to implement this any
time soon, if ever. Maybe Stepan or someone else would like to work on
it.
@thissection{} isn't in the Texinfo manual any more (and hasn't been for
years), because no
