Texinfo: add @tindex support #284

Closed akngw closed 3 years ago

akngw commented 3 years ago

Added support for @tindex command. It includes a test for it.

Thanks a lot! I'm so glad to receive a contribution to the Texinfo format, you are my hero. I've lost my understanding of this module, so it is really great.

Are you actually using this module? I was thinking of moving it away with the other ongoing modules, the ones that don't really work yet.

Thanks again,

Thank you for merging! I'm a po4a newbie. When I used it for a certain file, the file seemed to be corrupted, so I made this patch and sent it. However, the file is still corrupted...

I'm sorry to hear that it did not suffice for you, but I must say I'm not surprised. I'm often thinking that it'd be easier to reimplement the texinfo module from scratch, as an easy line-wise parser even if it'd break the ability to deal with advanced features of that format.

If you want to give a try to this way, I'd be glad to guide you through the internals of po4a to see how it could be done.
