As for documentation, I wrote about it in texinfo.txi. It didn't seem like any documentation for info readers was needed -- it just happens. rms> We need to document the format in info.texi. I assume you mean the specific implementation in the .info files (^H^[image src=...^H^]). Ok, I can work on that, although in general info.texi's description of Info format looks quite idiosyncratic to me, being done in the context of writing an Info file by hand (which no one does any more), and/or explaining certain Info user interface commands. So, do you mind if I rewrite it so that there's a clear appendix simply describing the file format? If you don't want me to go that far, then I'll just stick in the image information somewhere. I see that the anchor implementation is not mentioned in info.texi either. I'll document that as well. (I didn't think of it when I added the feature since I never thought of info.texi as documenting the file format before now, just the user interface.) k
