You've found the problem. It always helps to attach the output from
your command that is showing the failure and this confirms the

I suppose an option then is to write/extend the texinfo parser-compiler in
guile scheme. Then you end up with the pitfalls of luatex...

Although I have done as instructed, the problem remains. I concur that
texinfo macros are considerably limited in capability. But currently that's
what we have and I quite like the structure. In the future we might require
something more robust although based on similar principles.

Macros in Texinfo have many problems.
That would make the use of macros very limited. I have many working macros
except for the
multi-line situation. I am pushing the functionality requirements quite a bit,
but I feel
it is for the better, using realistic scenarios.
I wonder what Gavin think about this.

It probably depends on the macro and what it expands to. You would need

Am running a macro that continues on the next line, but pdfetex quits and exits

I keep having to delete the temporary files produced by texi2pdf, otherwise the
command texi2pdf fails.
One could think of a command option to automatically clean temporary files.
Is there capability for that already?
