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

Hi,

When a "verbatim" fragment doesn't end in a newline character, parsing 
fails. This failure seems like a defect to me because it only happens 
with the "verbatim" command, and not with similar block commands like 
"example", "lisp", "display" and "format".

Operating system: Guix System x86_64 Kernel: 6.1.14-gnu
GNU Guile: 3.0.9


STEPS TO REPRODUCE

1. Start a Guile REPL
2. Run the following code:

   #+begin_src scheme
     (use-modules (texinfo))
     (texi-fragment->stexi
      "Example:\n\n <at> verbatim\n(+ 3 5)\n <at> end verbatim")
   #+end_src


EXPECTED RESULT

I get the following stexi fragment:

#+begin_src scheme
  (*fragment* (para "Example:") (verbatim "(+ 3 5)\n"))
#+end_src


UNEXPECTED RESULT

I get the following error:

#+begin_example
ice-9/boot-9.scm:1685:16: In procedure raise-exception:
Throw to key `parser-error' with args `(#<input: string 7f5fad5c02a0>
"EOF while reading a token " "reading verbatim")'.

In texinfo.scm:
  1132:22  5 (parse _)
   980:31  4 (loop #<input: string 7f5fad5c02a0> (*fragment*) _ _ _)
   890:16  3 (visit _ #<input: string 7f5fad5c02a0> _ _)
   537:20  2 (read-verbatim-body
              #<input: string 7f5fad5c02a0>
              #<procedure 7f5fad076948 at texinfo.scm:1069:3 (str…> …)
In sxml/ssax/input-parse.scm:
     88:2  1 (next-token _ _ _ _)
In ice-9/boot-9.scm:
  1685:16  0 (raise-exception _ #:continuable? _)
#+end_example


WORKAROUND

Append a newline character to the texi fragment, like so:

#+begin_src scheme
  (use-modules (texinfo))
  (texi-fragment->stexi
   "Example:\n\n <at> verbatim\n(+ 3 5)\n <at> end verbatim\n")
#+end_src
