TexInfo, word formatting?
Heyas

While thinking how to rewrite my docs, figured i might want to make it GNU, so i started with TexInfo.
It took a while to figure about @sections, and such, but the main gaol is to get a manpage-like output, as html.

So i took a raw example, and try to generate that for all the commands i provide.

Code:
#!/bin/bash
#
#	Generate the node items
#
	[ -z "$1" ] && echo "Usage: $0 \"SECTION\"" && exit 1
	section="$1" ; shift
	for item in $(awk '/^\*/ {print $2}' $0)
	do	cat <<-SCREEN
		@node $item
		@chapter $item
		@pindex $section
		@include $item.texi
		
		SCREEN
		# ! ------------------------------ ! #
		cat > $item.texi <<-EOF
		Syntax: @example 
			$item [options] [arguments] 
		@end example
		
		Where options are:
		@example
			-h|--help	Helpscreen
			...
		@end example
		
		Description: @*
		Descriptional text
		@b bold
		@i italic
		@sc small caps
		@slanted slanted
		@t typewriter
		
		Examples:
		@example
			$item 
		@end example
		EOF
	done
	tui-yesno "Create page now?" && makeinfo --html --force tui-new

	exit
#
#	Paste the menu code here
#
* tui-printf ::
* tui-echo ::
* tui-title ::
* tui-header :: 
* tui-status :: 
* tui-progress :: 
* tui-list :: 
* tui-cat ::

While the creation of all the files themself works, the content is of question...
After creating the html page, i get (manualy applied non-existing markups (bold,italic,underline, etc):
Code:
Description:
Descriptional text bold italic small caps slanted typewriter

Expected:
Code:
Description:
Descriptional text bold italic small caps slanted typewriter

Not sure what i should or could expect from the colored parts, but sure thing no regular text from 'small caps'.

Any idea what i miss?
Basicly i just care about bold, italic and possible underline atm...

mshowfat

mshowfat(1)						      General Commands Manual						       mshowfat(1)

Name
       mshowfat - shows FAT clusters allocated to file

Note of warning
       This  manpage  has been automatically generated from mtools's texinfo documentation, and may not be entirely accurate or complete.  See the
       end of this man page for details.

Description
       The mshowfat command is used to display the FAT entries for a file.  Syntax:

       $ mshowfat files

See Also
       Mtools' texinfo doc

Viewing the texi doc
       This manpage has been automatically generated from mtools's texinfo documentation. However, this process is only  approximative,  and  some
       items, such as crossreferences, footnotes and indices are lost in this translation process.  Indeed, these items have no appropriate repre-
       sentation in the manpage format.  Moreover, not all information has been translated into the manpage version.  Thus I strongly  advise  you
       to use the original texinfo doc.  See the end of this manpage for instructions how to view the texinfo doc.

       *      To generate a printable copy from the texinfo doc, run the following commands:

		     ./configure; make dvi; dvips mtools.dvi

       *      To generate a html copy,	run:

		     ./configure; make html

       A premade html can be found at `http://www.gnu.org/software/mtools/manual/mtools.html'

       *      To generate an info copy (browsable using emacs' info mode), run:

		     ./configure; make info

       The  texinfo  doc looks most pretty when printed or as html.  Indeed, in the info version certain examples are difficult to read due to the
       quoting conventions used in info.
