GNU Texinfo 7.0 has been officially released.
Texinfo is the official documentation format of the GNU project and integrates well with GNU Emacs. Also used by many non-GNU projects. It was developed by RMS and Bob Chassell with the main purpose of providing a syntax and format that facilitates the typesetting of software manuals.
