tkInfo is a tk script to read GNU "info" files and display them.
|
||
|
|
tkInfo can be used stand alone (via WISH), or embeded within an
|
||
|
|
application to provide integrated, on-line help.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Info files provide a robust hyper-text capability that is ideal for
|
||
|
|
on-line help. 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.
