info5
Readable online documentation
Overview
The Info file format is an easily-parsable representation for online documents. It can be read by emacs(1) and info(1) among other programs.
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 texinfoor this key sequence from inside Emacs:
M-x info RET m texinfo RETwill get you there.
