  Texinfo
  
     A GNU documentation system that uses a single source file to
     produce both on-line information and printed output.  You can
     read the on-line information, known as an "Info file", with
     an Info documentation-reading program.  By convention, Texinfo
     source file names end with a ".texi" or ".texinfo" extension.
  
     You can write and format Texinfo files into Info files within
     GNU Emacs, and read them using the Emacs Info reader.  If
     you do not have Emacs, you can format Texinfo files into Info
     files using "makeinfo" and read them using "info".  TeX is
     used to typeset Texinfo files for printing.
  
     Texinfo is available from your nearest GNU archive site.
  
     Current version: 3.1, as of 1993-03-23.
