I guess I just don't understand why we would attempt to use the same code for different mediums. I don't understand why we want to alter info much right now. It seems we DO want to add the ability to use images. That seems sensible. But any other changes? why? The only other change I can see being sensible is that we maybe need to allow additional authorial formats other than texinfo. But I don't see why that impinges on the info viewer at all really. That's just conversion of whatever authorial format TO info. We also want to view info manuals in browsers or mobile phones. We want to support free software platforms there first. But that still means an HTML/Javascript/CSS viewer. Nic
