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. + ''; + branch = version; + }; +} |
