You appear to be taking a potshot, not really adding to the discussion. I know you are not incapable of installing emacs and we both know you can read info without it quite well. So I'm left wondering why you add this combative post. People are discussing HTML, which of course needs some reader... I'm pointing out a more advanced way to use info that may appeal to some. And of course you can install emacs... for lots of reasons as I do. Its an excellent editor in console or X. Reading info with it is just one more of its excellent capabilities.
