makeinfo --html

[Nikos Mavrogiannopoulos]

Hello,
 When generating html output of a texi file with split node internal
links set with @ref{} are not working when they contain underscores.

When for example I was linking to function gnutls_trust_list_verify_crt
makeinfo linked to the html file:
gnutls_005fx509_005ftrust_005flist_005fverify_005fcrt.html

which contained the following:
<meta http-equiv="refresh" content="0;
url=X509-certificate-API.html#gnutls%5fx509%5ftrust%5flist%5fverify%5fcrt">

If I check X509-certificate-API.html it contains the following node:
<a name="gnutls_005fx509_005ftrust_005flist_005fverify_005fcrt">

So it seems the the "_005f" is replaced by "%5f" in the
gnutls_005fx509_005ftrust_005flist_005fverify_005fcrt.html file.

regards,
Nikos


PS. I used the following command to generate split nodes:
$ makeinfo --html -o gnutls.html --css-include=../texinfo.css ../gnutls.texi

$ makeinfo --version
makeinfo (GNU texinfo) 4.13

Hi again Nikos,

   When generating html output of a texi file with split node internal
   links set with @ref{} are not working when they contain underscores.

   $ makeinfo --html -o gnutls.html --css-include=../texinfo.css ../gnutls.texi

I'm sorry, but I'm not able to easily reproduce this from the
description.  Can you send a runnable example?  (And then, Patrice, I
trust you will try it. :)

It may well be that this was a bug in the C makeinfo.

Thanks,
karl

It works fine.  It was already tested for, too...
