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.
