[Message part 1 (text/plain, inline)]

Hi,

Here are two recipes:

(with-temp-buffer
  (insert "@setfilename test.info\n"
	  "@uref{https://www.example.com/, @@home page}\n")
  (texinfo-format-buffer))

(with-temp-buffer
  (insert "@setfilename test.info\n"
	  "@uref{mailto:foo@@example.com}")
  (texinfo-format-buffer))

The cause of both the errors is that the `texinfo-format-uref'
function moves point to the beginning of its formatted text,
texinfmt tries to format it again, and "@" (formatted "@@") is
treated as a command.

I'm not quite sure if there are things that should be formatted
again, but if it is not, it is unnecessary to go to the beginning
(a patch below).  Otherwise, the function must not format "@@" to
"@".

Thanks.
Regards,
