+Likewise, if you want to pass an argument with the Texinfo command 
address@hidden@@,} (to produce a cedilla, see @ref{Inserting Accents}), you 
have 
+to use @code{@@value} or another work-around.  Otherwise, the comma
+may be taken as separating the arguments.  For example,

address@hidden produces:

address@hidden currently @mactwo{Fran@,cois} works in TeX, but 
@address@hidden,cois}
address@hidden works in makeinfo.  better to avoid commas altogether using this 
trick.
address@hidden an alternative to @, could be invented if needed.

 It is usually best to avoid comments inside macro definitions, but
