Hi all

I'm to blame for this. When working on the documentation I noticed that you can greatly simplify the boilerplate when writing the documentation by making use of a feature that is only available in texinfo 5.0 and up. Since version 5.0 of texinfo is almost two years old now and comes with Ubuntu LTS I thought it was a safe choice.

But then I ran into problems on the Travis CI server which rebuilds liblouis for every change (https://travis-ci.org/liblouis/liblouis), since it has the old Ubuntu LTS with texinfo 4.x. So I install texinfo 5.0 as part of the build (see .travis.yml at https://github.com/liblouis/liblouis/blob/master/.travis.yml).

You could do the same, i.e. install a new texinfo or we could go back to the old version of the documentation although I really have a hard time getting excited about that.

Thanks
Christian

Below is what I believe is the relevant part of the make output (NOTE:
whilst this output is from a crosscompile, I also get this when doing a
standard compile for the build system):
