There is also a system called LaTeXinfo that makes use of the same mechanism as TeXinfo, but allows the document to be written in LaTeX.

That info browsing mode in Emacs is also very efficient to use. /Lars -- Lars Fischer, fischer@iesd.auc.dk | Beauty is a French phonetic corruption CS Dept., Univ. of Aalborg, DENMARK. | - FZ
