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.
Furthermore, the GNU project has created a info browser tool that runs
under X.

Using info has many advantages, including automagically keeping the
printed and online doc's in sync. That info browsing mode in Emacs is
also very efficient to use.
