Re: texinfo source of elisp reference manual: missing index

    I'm trying at the moment to obtain more than 53 lines per page :/ 

1) to get a4 paper, it should suffice to replace the "@smallbook" with
   @afourpaper near the top of the file.  You should have to mess with
   \internalpagesizes :).

2) if you're trying to reduce the total page count, and don't really
   care about overfull boxes, etc., then I suggest using the latest
   texinfo.tex from ftp://tug.org/tex/texinfo.tex, and adding:
@tex
@fonttextsize 10
\global\hbadness=6000 % don't worry about not-too-underfull boxes
@end tex

Hope this helps,
Karl
