Hello,As someone with zero knowledge of how info(1) works, but considerable knowledge of how to read a manual page (well, there's little to it; less(1) is really simple), I'd like to recommend something for the info(1) manual page.
The info(1) manual page seems to be little more than just a link pointing readers to the actual documentation, accessed through info(1) itself:
SEE ALSO
The full documentation for info is maintained as a Texinfo manual. If
the info program is properly installed at your site, the command
info info
should give you access to the complete manual. (Or, if you have Emacs,
M‐x info will lead to the manual.)
It might be useful to lessen the learning curve of info(1), and recommend to
habitual readers of manual pages to pipe info(1) to less(1), so that the manual
is in a more familiar format. Who knows? Maybe after reading without much
friction the entire info(1) manual you convert some of us. And if not, at least
we were able to read manuals only available through info(1) :)
How about adding the following:
For readers more familiar with manual pages, it might be interesting
to pipe info(1) through less(1):
info info | less
Cheers,
Alex
