fun with texinfo
here's a fun note that may help someone else pulling their hair out trying to get texinfo's texi2dvi to handle input that uses sequences like @^i to generate the letter 'i' with a circumflex ('î'). if you get errors like this:
! Missing $ inserted.
<inserted text>
$
<to be read again>
^
l.1234 this '@^
i' has a funny hat.
it means that you forgot \input texinfo in the first line of your texinfo file.
