Bug#1021629: texinfo: with HTML output, @minus{} is converted to a hyphen instead of a real minus character
Package: texinfo
Version: 6.8-6
Severity: minor
Tags: upstream
Forwarded: https://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/bug-texinfo/2022-10/msg00046.html
With HTML output, @minus{} is converted to a hyphen instead of
a real minus character (U+2212 MINUS SIGN).
The Texinfo manual says:
11.8.9 '@minus' (-): Inserting a Minus Sign
-------------------------------------------
Use the '@minus{}' command to generate a minus sign. In a fixed-width
font, this is a single hyphen, but in a proportional font, the symbol is
the customary length for a minus sign--a little longer than a hyphen,
shorter than an em-dash:
[...]
I don't know whether commit 9190ec13c30 applies only to lists or
fixes the general problem.
