Ugh! What's the 'in' thing now? Didn't the GNU project /invent/ Info?
The GNU Project centered on Texinfo, which is a markup language that
enables you to generate from a single source file, output files for:
Info for efficient online help
DVI (or PostScript or PDF or ...) for nicely typeset, hard
copy printing
HTML for Web pages
DocBook for DocBook
Plain text for those who want that.
Please, do not write an Info file; write a Texinfo file instead.
The Texinfo file can be converted to Info, as well as to a form that
can be printed, to another that can be put on a Web site, and so on.
This is much better.
