I hear the argument; it’s true that not everyone uses Emacs or is
familiar with the standalone Info reader. Rendering of Info manuals in
Emacs is not bad, but a modern browser can do a better job.
Yet I’m not completely sold to the everything in the browser approach,
and everything in JavaScript. In an ideal world (for me), we’d rather
provide a local documentation viewer that renders Texinfo directly.
As far as I know GNOME’s Yelp is a frontend to different kinds of
documentation and it does support Info files.
It may not work out of the box without setting some environment
variables first, but I remember viewing Info manuals in Yelp not too
long ago when I first learned that it supports Info.
It actually does seem to just work. Try this:
yelp info:guix
It works for me too (even searching). But I see some things missing,
although I'm using Yelp 3.18 from the host distro:
* Clicking any index result in an error:
error on line 1114 at column 428: PCDATA invalid Char value 8
* Info manuals are not in the list of manuals available.
Being able to use Yelp would be great, in my opinion. After all, GNOME
is the GNU Desktop.
