Texinfo macros are not processed

[HJarausch]

The macro definitions in docstrings/package-macros.texinfo
@macro cl{name}
{\\smallertt\\phantom{concurrency:}\\llap{cl:}}\name\
@end macro

etc.

are not processed.
The pdf file still contains the strings \\smallertt\\phantom{concurrency:}\\llap{cl:}} verbatim.

I have texinfo-6.4 installed here (GenToo Linux)

I wish I understood why.

Changing the double backslashes to single @ makes things work better
with at least texinfo-6.3. I need to check whether that still works in
old texinfo.

Thanks,

Many thanks, that works fine with texinfo-6.4 here.

Thanks. I've verified that texinfo 4.13 also works with this, and
committed it as 343c5fddf3eeaa52d46ab524558329d51e90bb4a to master.

Best wishes,

Christophe
