I really like info because it is very quick to start up, easily
searchable, hyperlinked, editor independent, and provides a more user
manual approach to documentation than the syntax reference of
manpages.  The result of texinfo is easily available in different
formats of being online as info, html, printed in a paper book.

Are we talking about the same documentation format?
