+
+;; How @multitable works.
+;; =====================
+;; 
+;; `texinfo-multitable' reads the @multitable line and determines from it
+;; how wide each column should be.  
+;; 
+;; Also, it pushes this information, along with an identifying symbol,
+;; onto the `texinfo-stack'.  At the @end multitable command, the stack
+;; is checked for its matching @multitable command, and then popped, or
+;; else an error is signaled.  Also, this command pushes the location of
+;; the start of the table onto the stack.
+;; 
+;; `texinfo-end-multitable' checks the `texinfo-stack' that the @end
+;; multitable truly is ending a corresponding beginning, and if it is,
+;; pops the stack.
+;; 
+;; `texinfo-multitable-widths' is called by `texinfo-multitable'.  
+;; The function returns a list of the widths of each column in a
+;; multi-column table, based on the information supplied by the arguments
+;; to the @multitable command (by arguments, I mean the text on the rest
+;; of the @multitable line, not the remainder of the multi-column table
+;; environment).
+;; 
+;; `texinfo-multitable-item' formats a row within a multicolumn table.
+;; This command is executed when texinfmt sees @item inside @multitable.
+;; Cells in row are separated by `@tab's.  Widths of cells are specified
+;; by the arguments in the @multitable line.  Cells are filled.  All cells
+;; are made to be the same height by padding their bottoms, as needed,
+;; with blanks.
+;; 
+;; `texinfo-multitable-extract-row' is called by `texinfo-multitable-item'.  
+;; This function returns the text in a multitable row, as a string.
+;; The start of a row is marked by an @item and the end of row is the
+;; beginning of next @item or beginning of the @end multitable line.
+;; Cells within a row are separated by @tab.
+;; 
+;; Note that @tab, the cell separators, are not treated as independent
+;; Texinfo commands.

 ;;; Define the Info enclosure command: @definfoenclose
 
-; A `@definfoenclose' command may be used to define a highlighting
-; command for Info, but not for TeX.  A command defined using
-; `@definfoenclose' marks text by enclosing it in strings that precede
-; and follow the text.
-; 
-; Presumably, if you define a command with `@definfoenclose` for Info,
-; you will also define the same command in the TeX definitions file,
-; `texinfo.tex' in a manner appropriate for typesetting.
-; 
-; Write a `@definfoenclose' command on a line and follow it with three
-; arguments separated by commas (commas are used as separators in an
-; `@node' line in the same way).  The first argument to
-; `@definfoenclose' is the @-command name \(without the `@'\); the
-; second argument is the Info start delimiter string; and the third
-; argument is the Info end delimiter string.  The latter two arguments
-; enclose the highlighted text in the Info file.  A delimiter string
-; may contain spaces.  Neither the start nor end delimiter is
-; required.  However, if you do not provide a start delimiter, you
-; must follow the command name with two commas in a row; otherwise,
-; the Info formatting commands will misinterpret the end delimiter
-; string as a start delimiter string.
-;
-; If you do a @definfoenclose{} on the name of a pre-defined macro (such
-; as @emph{}, @strong{}, @tt{}, or @i{}) the enclosure definition will
-; override the built-in definition.
-; 
-; An enclosure command defined this way takes one argument in braces.
-;
-; For example, you can write:
-;
-;     @ifinfo
-;     @definfoenclose phoo, //, \\
-;     @end ifinfo
-;
-; near the beginning of a Texinfo file at the beginning of the lines
-; to define `@phoo' as an Info formatting command that inserts `//'
-; before and `\\' after the argument to `@phoo'.  You can then write
-; `@phoo{bar}' wherever you want `//bar\\' highlighted in Info.
-;
-; Also, for TeX formatting, you could write 
-;
-;     @iftex
-;     @global@let@phoo=@i
-;     @end iftex
-;
-; to define `@phoo' as a command that causes TeX to typeset
-; the argument to `@phoo' in italics.
-;
-; Note that each definition applies to its own formatter: one for TeX,
-; the other for texinfo-format-buffer or texinfo-format-region.
-;
-; Here is another example: write
-;
-;     @definfoenclose headword, , :
-;
-; near the beginning of the file, to define `@headword' as an Info
-; formatting command that inserts nothing before and a colon after the
