Texinfo


Texinfo

A GNU documentation system that uses a single source file toproduce both on-line information and printed output. You canread the on-line information, known as an "Info file", withan Info documentation-reading program. By convention, Texinfosource file names end with a ".texi" or ".texinfo" extension.

You can write and format Texinfo files into Info files withinGNU Emacs, and read them using the Emacs Info reader. Ifyou do not have Emacs, you can format Texinfo files into Infofiles using "makeinfo" and read them using "info". TeX isused to typeset Texinfo files for printing.
