NAME

       info - readable online documentation

DESCRIPTION

       The  Info  file	format is an easily-parsable representation for online documents.  It can be read by emacs(1) and info(1) among other pro-
       grams.

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

       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:
       info texinfo
       or this key sequence from inside Emacs:
       M-x info RET m texinfo RET
       will get you there.

AVAILABILITY

       ftp://ftp.gnu.org/pub/gnu/texinfo-<version>.tar.gz
       or any GNU mirror site.

REPORTING BUGS

       Please send bug reports to bug-texinfo@gnu.org, general questions and discussion to help-texinfo@gnu.org.
