Hi all.
Operating System: Linux From Scratch (LFS) 12.4 - System V Edition
texi2any (GNU texinfo) 7.2
I just finished translating the manual for GNU Texinfo into Brazilian
Portuguese.
However, I need to change some words in the output (I generated the
HTML version, only for inspections).
I found a thread that (almost) discusses the same subject:
https://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/help-texinfo/2025-12/msg00001.html
Different from that, I made some tests. I have a 'texinfo.tex' file in
my operating system at '/usr/share/texmf/tex/texinfo/texinfo.tex'.
In my 'texinfo.pt_BR.texi', in the first line, I just deleted the
'\input texinfo.tex @c -*-texinfo-*-' line.
I did expect an error from texi2any (texi2any --html --no-split
--output=3Dteste-mono.html texinfo.pt_BR.texi).
However, surprisingly, 'teste-mono.html' was output!
That made me think '/usr/share/texmf/tex/texinfo/texinfo.tex' was not
used. So, which 'texinfo.tex' was used?
Same about 'txi-pt.tex' (/usr/share/texmf/tex/texinfo/txi-pt.tex). I
need some different words from that file ('txi-pt.tex') and I can not
get it. What am I missing?
Please, in the response, tell me what commands to issue. :)
Thank you in advance.
