Hello Texinfo friends,

I've released texinfo 4.7.91, the second pretest for the next Texinfo
version to (gzip):
  ftp://alpha.gnu.org/gnu/texinfo/texinfo-4.7.91.tar.gz
  http://texinfo.org/pretest/ftp/texinfo.tar.gz
and (bzip2):
  ftp://alpha.gnu.org/gnu/texinfo/texinfo-4.7.91.tar.bz2
  http://texinfo.org/pretest/ftp/texinfo.tar.bz2

NEWS below -- just bug/doc fixes since the previous pretest, plus the
g_t kludge for html xrefs.

This will become 4.8 unless severe problems are reported.  So please
test if you can, and report problems to [email protected].

Thanks,

  . new command @euro for the Euro currency symbol, and
    @documentencoding has some support for ISO-8859-15.

  . new command @slanted to typeset text in a slanted font,
    and @sansserif to typeset in a sans serif font.
* makeinfo:
  . HTML output:
    - <a name="..."> constructs are added for the old-style
      conversion of node names to HTML names, so that external references
      to them can continue to work.
    - "g_t" prefixed to targets for node names beginning with a
      nonletter, for XHTML compatibility.
* texi2dvi:
  . new option --recode, to call recode for input character translation.
* Distribution:
  . new convenience script texi2pdf, equivalent to texi2dvi --pdf (from tetex).
  . some cross-compiling support in configure && make.
  . new configure option --disable-install-warnings, for TeX.
    distributions which do have the files installed.
