Problems with the German Maxima Manual



As to why the problem only exists in a few chapters of
the German translation, my guess is that the text doesn't match
the assumptions of the regular expressions which the Perl script
uses to extract stuff from the .info files.
Perhaps there are unexpected characters of some kind.
That's just a guess, I haven't looked at it in detail.

Thanks, Dieter, for all your work on the translation.
We'll get it figured out somehow!

best, Robert Dodier
