[ excerpt from developer's web site ]

|
|
Texinfo is the official documentation format of the GNU project.
|
|
It was invented by Richard Stallman and Bob Chassell many years
|
|
ago, loosely based on Brian Reid's Scribe and other formatting
|
|
languages of the time. It is used by many non-GNU projects as well.
|
|
|
|
Texinfo uses a single source file to produce output in a number of
|
|
formats, both online and printed (dvi, html, info, pdf, xml, etc.).
|
|
This means that instead of writing different documents for online
|
|
information and another for a printed manual, you need write only
|
|
one document. And when the work is revised, you need revise only
|
|
that one document. The Texinfo system is well-integrated with GNU
|
|
Emacs.
