I agree with Maxim here, I think the texinfo markup is important to be
able to generate such a nice manual: the Guix and Guile manuals are
among the nicest to browse because of all the formatting that you have
available, and the hyperlinks.  I've also not had any issues adding
stuff to the manual while not knowing anything about the format, just
mimicking stuff found nearby.  YMMV though, depending on what changes
you might want to make.

Best,
