Yes, but guile's (texinfo) module does not understand the entire set of
texinfo commands.  I'm not sure whether the subset it does understand
is even clearly documented.

I guess that we can contribute the @LaTeX{} macro to the guile module, 

at least a simplified version for sure, but I don't think it will make before

core-updates next. In my opinion this fix is an acceptable tradeoff.

We might add a comment to modify the markup, once support lands

in guile, if it is deemed necessary. WDYT? 

 

Best thing to do is listen to 'guix lint' and fix any "invalid" markup.
