texinfo and unicode

[Peter L. Soendergaard]

Hi,

I am about to submit LTFAT as a Sourceforge package, and I have massaged 
the documentation into a least some rudimentary texinfo.

The main missing problem is that a lot of my help files contain unicode 
characters, which Octave handles well, but texinfo seems to choke on the 
them. So for instance, this help section works (the examples are just 
part of the documentation for a particular function):

%
%   References:
%     K. Gröchenig. Foundations of Time-Frequency Analysis. Birkhäuser, 
2001.
%

but this one fails

address@hidden {Function} dgt
address@hidden
%
%   References:
%     K. Gröchenig. Foundations of Time-Frequency Analysis. Birkhäuser, 
2001.
%
address@hidden verbatim
address@hidden deftypefn

The output is truncated as soon as the non-ascii character is reached.

I tried installing texinfo 5.1 which supposedly handles unicode, but 
that made no difference. The "generate_package_html" script created 
almost empty output files.

Any ideas or tricks?

Cheers,
Peter.
