Tools Needed to Create Documentation from Texinfo Sources

Edit Package texinfo

Texinfo is a documentation system that uses a single source file to
produce both online information and printed output. Using Texinfo, you
can create a printed document with the normal features of a book,
including chapters, sections, cross-references, and indices. From the
same Texinfo source file, you can create a menu-driven, online info
file with nodes, menus, cross-references, and indices using the included
makeinfo tool.

Aggregated with texinfo in this package is texi2html and texi2roff.

- The package texinfo now requires makeinfo of the same version
  to make sure that the correct Texinfo.pm is installed 
- libzio is able to handle lz(ma) and xz files as well

- Update to 6.0
  * Language:
    + new commands @sub and @sup, for textual subscripts and 
      superscripts.
    + new command @U to insert a Unicode character by code point.
  * texinfo.tex:
    + @url/@uref output in PDF now the same as in DVI, showing the 
      url even if the second argument is given, not just as a link 
      target. TeX option \urefurlonlylinktrue gives previous 
      behavior, of invisible urls.
    + PDF-only \linkcolor and \urlcolor specify colors (default 
      black).
  * texi2any:
    + customization variable TOP_NODE_UP_URL now replaces all (dir) 
      references; recommended setting for GNU packages is /manual/.
    + new customization variable INDEX_SPECIAL_CHARS_WARNING to 
      complain when index entries contain a colon.
    + Docbook output no longer uses <lineannotation> for @r.
    + -D'var val' on the command line works as intended again.
    + --plaintext output can be split.
    + a bit faster.
  * info:
    + invoking as `info foo bar' looks for bar as an index entry 
      in manual foo, if not found as a top-level menu item.
    + invoking info with an absolute or explicitly relative file 
      name (./foo.info, /tmp/foo.info, etc.) just visits that file.
