Hi
	I'm still learning texinfo, but as I understand it is possible to
specify some parts of the document to be used (compiled) if dvi
documentation (i.e. latex) is produced, so you can actually put some
latex commands in your document. The same thing applies to html as well.

hope this helps.

all the best
