+ (description
+ "Texinfo is the official documentation format of the GNU project.
+It was invented by Richard Stallman and Bob Chassell many years
+ago, loosely based on Brian Reid's Scribe and other formatting
+languages of the time. It is used by many non-GNU projects as
+well.
+
+Texinfo uses a single source file to produce output in a number
+of formats, both online and printed (dvi, html, info, pdf, xml,
+etc.). This means that instead of writing different documents
+for online information and another for a printed manual, you
+need write only one document. And when the work is revised, you
+need revise only that one document. The Texinfo system is
+well-integrated with GNU Emacs.")
