Isn't that supposed to be in the header? :-)

Perhaps consider GNU Emacs' TeXinfo, a marriage between
two great quazi public domain tools:  GNU Emacs and TeX.  Hundreds of pages of
tree/menuized manuals are as close as
$ emacs -f info
to many users as we speak.
[Admittedly I don't read alt.hypertext and lack other hypertext knowledge.]

There even is a LaTeXinfo, and standalone info browsers using this
format.  Tune in to the gnu.* and comp.text.tex groups for more info.
