[texinfo-pretest] What's <wbr>?

[Karl Berry]

    Besides the issues you raised so far, a feature I particularly miss
    in texinfo is alignment of columns (left,centered,right,decimal) in
    the @multitable environment.

I'm not sure how hard that would be to add to texinfo.tex and makeinfo.
I'll look into it.

    What do you think about [using latex]? I hope not to sound as a heretics.

It's not heretical, and would have some benefits.  However, in my mind
the only practical way to do this would be to add a LaTeX back end to
makeinfo.  And the makeinfo source code is, unfortunately, so convoluted
I am not anxious to do this.

    Another question: is texinfo capable to interact with bibtex? In
    which way? With which outputs (html, info, tex)?

As it happens, this just came up the last couple days on help-texinfo.
As far as I know, my hacks for the Web2C manual are still the only
attempt to integrate BibTeX and TeXinfo.
http://tug.org/texlive/devsrc/Build/source/TeX/texk/web2c/doc/

The basic idea is for Texinfo to read (a Texinfo version of) the .bbl
file, so ultimately it could work with any output format.  There's a
rule in the Makefile to transfer ref.bbl to ref.txi.

Anyway, making that support something real is nowhere near the top of my
list; perhaps you'd like to work on it :)?

Thanks,
