.SH DESCRIPTION
|
||
|
|
The Info file format is an easily-parsable representation for online
|
||
|
|
documents. It can be read by
|
||
|
|
.I emacs(1)
|
||
|
|
and
|
||
|
|
.I info(1)
|
||
|
|
among other programs.
|
||
|
|

|
||
|
|
Info files are usually created from
|
||
|
|
.I texinfo(5)
|
||
|
|
sources by
|
||
|
|
.IR makeinfo(1) ,
|
||
|
|
but can be created from scratch if so desired.
|

|
|

|

|
|

.RS
|
||
|
|
.I M-x info RET m texinfo RET
|
