The format is suitable for both tty-based systems and +graphical systems. In addition, the same document source can produce +both a "nice" hardcopy manual and Info files. Note that most GNU tools +are documented in this way (via texinfo). + +Info files can be created manually with any text editor, with the +support of the emacs "info" package, with the GNU "makeinfo" program, +or with the emacs scripts for latexinfo. The makeinfo program produces +a set of info files from TeX source that use the GNU texinfo style (the +one that uses "@" everywhere). Similarly, the latexinfo package (like +texinfo, but with latex commands and syntax) provides emacs scripts for +producing info files. |
