I'd like to use Texinfo and TeX to make a documentation, but I have a
few questions before I can choose between Texinfo and LaTeX:

   - Why doesn't Texinfo have some compatibility with LaTeX or even
     TeX ? (redefinition of \ in @ (Why?), \copyright in @copyright{} ,
     \verb in @code, etc...).
     Is there a reason for the '@' ? Did I miss something ?

   - After reading texinfo.texinfo, it is my understanding that some of the
     TeX or LaTeX features are not available, like tabulars environments,
     or pictures. Of course it would be difficult to have them in
     info files, but is it possible to call plain TeX commands (or LaTeX
     commands) in a @iftex section ? It seems to be possible for plain TeX
     with backslashes replaced by '@' !!!

   - Has anyone worked on a texinfo2hypertalk translator ? The idea could
     be to have an on-line documentation in Hypercard as well.
     I made some tests of parsing in hypertalk but it's really too slow,
     It's probably better to generate a big hypertalk script in Unix, then
     run it once to create a new stack, and then delete it.
     If somebody has already worked on such a tool, let me know.

Please answer by email. If somebody is interested in the answers, i'll
summarize.

Cheers,
Christophe.
