#17 Texinfo specific output should be switchable
Currently docbook2x-texi outputs texinfo specific output such as the following:
--- The Detailed Node Listing ---
This may look okay for info pages - but when you convert to html with makeinfo --html it still renders.
Obviously, this is not desired as it:
1) Looks out of place on a web page.
2) Should use EM DASH characters.
There should be a way (other than editing the stylesheets) to turn this behaviour off.

(2) seems to be a problem with Texinfo itself; the sequence "---"
ought to be changed to an EM DASH automatically.
As for (1), since you indicate it looks out-of-place, how about if that text is encoded inside a @ifinfo ? Adding a switch to turn the behavior off seems overly complicated, both from a usability point of view, and considering that HTML generation from Texinfo, IMHO, is an obscure feature that can be accomplished in a more optimal way.
If there is no objection then I will do what I have suggested in the next release.
Thanks for the report.
