Hi,

Thanks for the response.

 I've never used Info before, except for documentation of emacs and 
very few things are documented there. I suggest it should be presumed 
that people will look at man wget or wget --help and make sure 
the documentation is either the same, or that there is a level of 
indirection to info wget

 The wget man page reports

 Turn proxy support on or off.  The proxy is on by
 default if the appropriate environmental variable is
 defined.
 Which is of course incomplete as it doesn't say WHAT the appropriate
 environmental variable is!
Thanks for the report.  Note that the real Wget documentation is in
Info format.  The Info manual names the proxy environment variables in
the Proxies node.

Sure - I understand that info is the preferred documentation for GNU, 
no problem there, but this is not going to be widely known to people 
who have grown up on --help and man, so there is a responsibility to 
let it be known IN MOST PEOPLE'S DEFAULT where to get the prefered 
documentation.

I would have a similar response to people who prefer to put the 
documentation online (e.g. php). There needs to be a pointer in the 
obvious places to lead people to the non-obvious places.  You can't 
assume that people know that GNU = Info.

You are right.  The current man page does not seem to mention that it
is only an excerpt from the entire documentation, and that is a bug.
As for Info, note that Wget is a GNU program, and Info is the
preferred documentation format of the GNU project.
