Texinfo, the official documentation format of the GNU project that was invented by Richard Stallman and Bob Chassell, is now at version 5.1.

According to the developers, Texinfo 5.1 uses a single source file to produce output in a number of formats, both online and printed (dvi, html, info, pdf, xml, etc.)

Highlights of Texinfo 5.1:

• Irregular sectioning trees no longer produces a warning rather than an error; • @set in the middle of the line no longer produces a warning; • lzip (.lz) compression is now supported; • Texinfo commands are supported in node names; • @-commands are now recognized in raw format blocks; • A new command named @xrefautomaticsectiontitle has been added to allow the use of section titles in cross references.
