Texinfo is a typesetting language designed for writing software manuals. It’s the official documention format for GNU projects, but not as popular in modern non-GNU free software projects.
One of the main reasons is the lack of editor support. While Emacs does offer a “texinfo-mode”, however, Emacs is not widely used among average software developers.
We believe that Texinfo deserves more users, for it is an excellent format for writing software manuals, as well as other technical materials. We chose Visual Studio Code, one of the most popular code editors as of year 2020, and developed this very extension, vscode-texinfo, which provides some useful features for Visual Studio Code regarding the Texinfo format, in the hope that more developers can benefit from it.
