Why is the Latte documentation not in Latte format?
The Latte documentation is written in “Texinfo” format because that gave us the greatest number of options for producing the documentation in different forms: as browsable “Info” pages on character displays and within Emacs; as online web pages in HTML form; and as printed documentation created by TeX. Making all these options possible from a single source document is, of course, the ultimate goal of Latte. Furthermore, Texinfo is highly specialized for writing technical manuals and isn’t as general as Latte is. Unfortunately, Latte isn’t ready yet to produce any kind of output other than HTML (but see the Plans page). As soon as Latte can subsume the role of Texinfo, we’ll convert the documentation to Latte format.
