.SH NAME
info \- readable online documentation
.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.
.PP
For a full description of the Texinfo language and associated tools,
please see the Texinfo manual (written in Texinfo itself). Most likely,
running this command from your shell:

.I info texinfo

.RS
.I M-x info RET m texinfo RET
.RE
will get you there.
