i wonder what about info (as in, the texinfo books) rubs people the wrong way?
i've always actually kinda liked having offline ebooks to read about things i'm learning
heck! i even went out of my way to get texinfo versions of SICP and the common lisp hyperspec
@thingywott it just seems like an unnecessarily weird version of HTML 2.0 honestly? writing in texinfo means learning another goofy language for something that doesn't offer any advantages over what you already know
@technomancy oh yeah! i imagine writing it is a different story (i mostly meant from a consumption standpoint!)
with it, i have basically have a library of ebooks that are accessible from a terminal, emacs, or a browser, all fully searchable, offline, and even integratable with other documentation in-editor
all while still having a small enough footprint that i don't need to worry about interacting with it on a pubnix or lo-fi systems
@technomancy i might be a bit biased though, since they were a lifesaver that basically taught me how to do so much stuff before i had reliable internet, and i still like being able to fall back to it when on trips to places where that's still the case, but still wanna do one of my hobbies during downtime~
