Hi folks, traditionally ed(1) was *the* reference for sed and others as well. Today the man page just lists some ed command line options, urging the reader to use info.
Sorry to say, but "info ed" is no replacement. The layout in separate pages and the request to "navigate" the document somehow is a distraction. The German language has a verb "querlesen", meaning to glance quickly over a document to find the part you are interested in. Experience is an important part of this. Due to the standardized layout and full access to the whole document without navigating and jumping cursors you can "querlesen" man pages with 20 or more lines per second. Maybe its just me, but info made this approach impossible. Regards Harri
