  45     (description
  46      "Texinfo is the official documentation format of the GNU project.
  47 It was invented by Richard Stallman and Bob Chassell many years
  48 ago, loosely based on Brian Reid's Scribe and other formatting
  49 languages of the time.  It is used by many non-GNU projects as
  50 well.

  52 Texinfo uses a single source file to produce output in a number
  53 of formats, both online and printed (dvi, html, info, pdf, xml,
  54 etc.).  This means that instead of writing different documents
  55 for online information and another for a printed manual, you
  56 need write only one document.  And when the work is revised, you
  57 need revise only that one document.  The Texinfo system is
  58 well-integrated with GNU Emacs.")
