+ Texinfo is the official documentation format of the GNU project.
+ It was invented by Richard Stallman and Bob Chassell many years
+ ago, loosely based on Brian Reid's Scribe and other formatting
+ languages of the time. It is used by many non-GNU projects as
+ well.
+
+ Texinfo uses a single source file to produce output in a number
+ of formats, both online and printed (dvi, html, info, pdf, xml,
+ etc.). This means that instead of writing different documents
+ for online information and another for a printed manual, you
+ need write only one document. And when the work is revised, you
+ need revise only that one document. The Texinfo system is
+ well-integrated with GNU Emacs.
