Info is the preferred format for documentation in the GNU project; the format may be used to produce online or printed output from a single source.

The Texinfo macros may be used to produce printable output using TeX; other programs in the distribution offer online interactive use (with hypertext linkages in some cases).

Note that a developers’ snapshot of the latest working version of the Texinfo macros may be found in the package.
