+.SH NAME
+info \- readable online documentation
+.SH DESCRIPTION
+The Info file format is an easily-parsable representation for online
+documents. It can be read by
+.I emacs(1)
+and
+.I info(1)
+among other programs.
+.PP
+Info files are usually created from
+.I texinfo(5)
+sources by
+.IR makeinfo(1) ,
+but can be created from scratch if so desired.
+.PP
+For a full description of the Texinfo language and associated tools,
+please see the Texinfo manual (written in Texinfo itself). Most likely,
+running this command from your shell:

+M-x info RET m texinfo RET
+.EE
+will get you there.
