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. -- Robert J.
