Simply changing @macro/@end macro to @rmacro/@end rmacro for the qcode
definitions in macros.texi doesn't work for me with Texinfo 5.2.  I
still see the following errors:

  octave_doc_eX075S:2824: table requires an argument: the formatter for 
@item
  octave_doc_eX075S:2841: table requires an argument: the formatter for 
@item
  ./func.texi:548: table requires an argument: the formatter for @item
  ./func.texi:565: table requires an argument: the formatter for @item

and the build fails.  func.texi 548 and 565 are the lines with the
"@table @qcode".
