historique
Historique du projet et usages
GNU Texinfo is the GNU project's documentation system and format, designed so one source document can produce online Info documentation and printable output. In package-manager culture, texinfo is both a documentation format and a practical build dependency: packages use makeinfo, texi2any, install-info, and info to build, install, and read manuals.
Historique du projet
The GNU Texinfo manual's history section attributes the invention of the Texinfo format, the initial processors, and edition 1.0 of the manual to Richard M. Stallman. Robert J. Chassell substantially revised and extended the manual starting with edition 1.1, Brian Fox maintained the standalone Texinfo distribution through version 3.8 and wrote the standalone makeinfo and info programs, and Karl Berry continued maintenance after Texinfo 3.8.
Historique d'adoption
Texinfo became deeply associated with GNU because it solved a packaging problem GNU projects shared: keeping reference manuals, online Info readers, and printed documentation in one source format. The GNU manual and homepage describe Texinfo as the GNU documentation system, and the package is carried across mainstream Unix-like package managers under names such as texinfo or info.
Modes d'utilisation
The package is used in build systems to convert .texi sources into Info, HTML, DVI, PDF, and related output. Its executables include makeinfo and texi2any for conversion, info for reading Info manuals, install-info for registering manuals, and texi2dvi/texi2pdf-style tools for TeX-backed print output.
Pourquoi les passionnés de paquets s'y intéressent
Texinfo is a classic transitive dependency in source builds: many GNU and GNU-adjacent packages ship manuals in .texi form even when users never open the Info reader. Package maintainers care about whether a build requires makeinfo, whether generated Info files are shipped, and whether install-info hooks are needed after installation.
It also marks a cultural boundary between GNU and BSD documentation stacks. Texinfo and Info emphasize hyperlinked manuals and single-source publishing, while BSD packaging often favors mdoc(7) manpages and mandoc.
Chronologie
- 1980s: Richard M. Stallman invents the Texinfo format and writes the initial processors and edition 1.0 of the manual.
- Texinfo 3.8 era: Brian Fox maintains the standalone distribution and writes the standalone makeinfo and info programs.
- After Texinfo 3.8: Karl Berry continues Texinfo maintenance.
- Current GNU releases: Texinfo remains the official GNU documentation system and ships texi2any, makeinfo, info, install-info, and related tools.
Related projects

- TeX is used for print-oriented Texinfo output such as DVI and PDF.
- texi2mdoc converts Texinfo sources into BSD mdoc(7) manual markup for mandoc workflows.
