17: How do I install a piece of Texinfo documentation? First, you must turn the Texinfo files into Info files. You may do this within Emacs, using "M-x texinfo-format-buffer", or with the stand-alone "makeinfo" program, available as part of the latest Texinfo package at ftp://prep.ai.mit.edu/pub/gnu/texinfo-3.1.tar.gz and all prep mirrors (see question 89 for a list). For information about the Texinfo format, read the Texinfo manual which comes with Emacs. This manual also comes installed in Info format, so you can read it on-line. Neither texinfo-format-buffer nor makeinfo installs the resulting Info files in Emacs's Info tree. To install Info files: 1. Move the files to the "info" directory in the installed Emacs distribution. See
