Käyttääköhän kekään enää #Texinfo'a? Siis ainakaan alkuperäiseen tarkoitukseensa #man-sivuja laajempana järjestelmän ohjeistuksena? Enää #Debian'kaan ei tunnu asentavan infoa oletuksena, vaikka nimenomaan #GNU'n ohjelmissa joskus man-sivu on tynkä ja varsinainen tieto info-sivulla. #floss #linux #unix #manpages #infopages

I'm writing an #Emacs package. It's complete enough for a first release, but I should really include an Info file. I'm far more familiar with writing Org documents than TeXinfo documents, so I think I'll be writing the Info as an Org document, then exporting it as TeXinfo or Info.

Hey, nerds. I just found out that nowadays #Texinfo can export #ePub too. Is it worth relearning for this purpose? And in general?

@gabrilend @wyatt Are info pages any better? They're a hypertext system that Richard Stallman built for original Emacs in 1976, years before the Web.

Managed to built in #saltstack manual as #TexInfo Info manual. Just 4.7 MB Gzip compressed. It takes some time to load but it's better than the previous man 7 salt thou.

I wish for some easier way of handling inlined images in #GNU #Texinfo.

I have also written an finicky to setup xdg-desktop-portal that let one choose #files using #emacs https://codeberg.org/rahguzar/filechooser , an Emacs interface to #hoogle https://codeberg.org/rahguzar/consult-hoogle

There is a (kind of in progress) major mode for #sagemath https://codeberg.org/rahguzar/sage-mode which hasn't seen much progress in a while because it is usable for its only user i.e. me.

Recently I managed to make produce a (humongous) #texinfo manual for Sage so that I can read it from Emacs https://github.com/sagemath/sage/issues/21734

Anybody else tried to build #texinfo info pages using #sphinx? What where you experiences? #emacs
Having offline documentation outside of my browser is very helpful.

Boy, #GNU #TeXinfo sure is ... something else.

@shegeley Hi,

I think it would be good to mark up the package description using Texinfo so that the list looks good not only in CLI but on the web too.

For an example:

https://git.savannah.gnu.org/cgit/guix.git/tree/gnu/packages/tex.scm#n10575

Which would translate to:

https://packages.guix.gnu.org/packages/texlive-crossword/

More info on Texinfo itemization:

And info about marking inline code:
