I see. No, Texinfo is just a formatting language, it is not designed for extracting documentation from Lisp source code--or other sources, for that matter. I actually meant that the Texinfo formatting language provides a rich set of commands for describing many kinds of entities found in Lisp code such as DEFUNs, DEFMACROs, DEFVARs, etc. This information is usually inserted manually while editing a document. The SBCL developers, however, have tools for extracting information from source code and generating Texinfo-formatted files that are part of the user manual. See create-contrib-doc-list.lisp and docstrings.lisp in the doc/manual directory of the SBCL source tree.
