+
+       * Makefile.am (check-texinfo): Disallow `filename' in .texi files.
+       (check-texinfo): Fail if a @footnote directive follows non-punctuation.
+
+2004-06-30  Paul Eggert  <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
+
+       * coreutils.texi: Put the right amount of space at sentence ends.
+       Make sure "i.e." and "e.g." are followed by commas (the GNU style).
+       Put blank lines before and after every @example, prefer the
+       previous line to end in ":" (when not a sentence end, for consistency),
+       and prepend @noindent to the following line when appropriate.
+       In examples, use "--" arguments when needed to prevent undesired
+       interpretation of operands as options.
+       Use "file name" rather than "filename", as per the GNU coding standards.
+       Remove unwanted spaces before @footnote.
+       Use "---" when appropriate, instead of " -- ".
+       Use "name" (or something like that) rather than "path" or "pathname",
+       since the GNU coding standards don't allow "path".
+       Use @acronym, @command, @minus{}, @samp in a few places,
+       where appropriate.
+       (Target directory): Clarify description of example.
+       (fmt invocation): Give issue number for reference, and reword
+       for clarity.
+       (sort invocation): Note that xargs without -0 also mishandles
+       file names containing some special characters other than newline.
+       (Translating): Mention that \012 is not universally portable.
+       Use '\0' rather than '\000'.
+       (Squeezing): bourne -> Bourne.
+       Fix unportable usage of '\n' by replacing it with '[\n*]'.
+       (More details about version sort): Remove unnecessary indent
+       in examples.
+       (dd invocation): Use 'kill -s USR1', not 'kill -USR1', as POSIX
+       indicates that the former is more portable (the latter is an XSI
+       extension).
+       (shred invocation): Use @uref rather than @url, and use a more-typical
+       style for the date.
+       (kill invocation): Clarify usage; for example, "kill -s TERM -1"
+       isn't allowed.
+       (seq invocation): Reword to avoid implying that printf necessarily
+       fails for numbers outside the 32-bit range.  Prefer separating
+       options from their operands.
+       (Opening the software toolbox): Give an online reference to
+       Robbins's article, and give a date.  Don't imply that the
+       current documentation is unchanged from his article.
+       (Putting the tools together): Rework examples so that they don't
+       assume the C locale; nowadays many users now operate outside the C
+       locale by default.  While we're at it, don't assume ASCII either.
+       Indent example to match actual output from GNU uniq.  Remove some
+       unnecessary and confusing brackets from 'tr' operands.  "Software
+       Tools in Pascal" is back in print, according to Amazon anyway.
+       Add references to Kernighan's online copies of examples.

        * coreutils.texi, perm.texi: Standardize on "file system" rather
