(synopsis "The GNU documentation format")
(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.")
+ "Texinfo is the official documentation format of the GNU project. It
+uses a single source file containing TeX-like formatting commands to produce
+a final document in any of several supported output formats, such as HTML or
+PDF. This package includes both the tools necessary to produce info
+documents from their source as well as the command- line info reader.")
