m4 manual woes


From: Karl Berry

In m4 1.4.2, the m4.texinfo file uses @ifinfo around the Top node
instead of @ifnottex.  As a result, proper HTML cannot be generated.

Also, since Texinfo has acquired accent commands, they might as well be
used for Francois Pinard's name.

The diff below handles those two things.

I did this in order to update the m4 manual in webcvs, which a user
reported problems with a while ago.  Hope that's ok.  Gary, I don't know
html_node/index.html was not being generated properly by
makeinfo/gendocs.sh for you -- makeinfo has code to handle that case,
and anyway the name of the node is Index not index, so there should be
no collision.  Were you running on Windows?  Anyway, let me know if
problems.


Other fixes needed, not in the diff:
- use @copying and the GFDL instead of the old permission text.
http://www.gnu.org/software/texinfo/manual/texinfo/html_node/Document-Permissions.html

- the START-INFO-DIR-ENTRY stuff should be changed to use @direntry, as in:
@dircategory Text creation and manipulation
@direntry
* m4: (m4).                     General-purpose text macro processor.
@end direntry

Happy hacking,
karl
