[help-texinfo] Re: How to disable '_' to '_005f' transliteration in file names?

Hi Patrice,

thank you very much for this suggestion. Unfortunately, there appears to be a
misunderstanding somewhere. The makeinfo program doesn't seem to accept an
--init-file parameter. texi2html does, but texi2html use an entirely different
scheme for choosing file names, i.e. the generated files are called
autoconf-archive-<n>.html where 'n' is a sequential number. When texi2html is
run with the suggested init file, all generated files are called "nundef".

Is there a way to make texi2html generate the same HTML file names that
makeinfo would? If this were the case, I reckon that init file magic would
solve my problem.

Take care,
Peter
