markdown-mode-texinfo
This project is an alternative, info-format manual for Jason Blevins' Markdown Mode extension to Emacs.
Status: Updated for markdown-mode version 2.3. Not yet reviewed.
Texinfo, the documentation format of the Emacs manual and other GNU project documentation, while quite arcane compared to the simplicity of markdown, was designed to create indexed documentation usable from within Emacs.
The Texinfo-format manual is compiled into info-format, which is
compatible with both Emacs' info reader and the command line info
command. Type $ make info.
You may type $ make install to install the .info file into the
directory with your other emacs info files, but you must first update
the file locations in the Makefile to match your system.
This Texinfo-format manual can also be compiled into HTML, PDF, ePub
and other formats - even markdown. Type make or make help for
options.
