💖 INFO(5) — bestie edition ✨

okay so. welcome to the info manual, page 5, section 5, we're in the File Formats Manual and we are SO ready. 🎀

🌸 NAME 🌸

info — readable online documentation 💅

🦋 DESCRIPTION 🦋

So the Info file format is literally an easily-parsable representation for online documents. that's it, that's the whole vibe. it's built to be read by emacs(1) and info(1), among other programs. no cap. 👑

Info files are usually created from texinfo(5) sources by makeinfo(1) — but lowkey? you can also create them from scratch if you're feeling spicy and so desired. main character energy. ✨

Now. for a full description of the Texinfo language and all the associated tools, you gotta go read the Texinfo manual (which, iconic behaviour, is 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. periodt. 💖
