10makeinfo is a standalone program to convert Texinfo source into Info
11files readable with standalone info or M-x info in Emacs.
12
13makeinfo can also output other formats: plain ASCII (with --no-headers)
14or HTML (with --html) or XML (with --xml).

16The Emacs function M-x texinfo-format-buffer does more or less the same
17job, but makeinfo is faster and gives better error messages.
