I'd love to go back to [Sphinx](http://www.sphinx-doc.org) and readthedocs as build service.  ReStructuredText is so much easier to write than Texinfo, and I think it's much more friendly to us as maintainers and to newcomers.\r\n\r\nHowever, Sphinx' support for Texinfo is inferior.  When we used Sphinx in the past we worked around this with a lot of extensions to Sphinx, which were tedious to write and maintain.  I don't want to do that again.\r\n\r\nHence we'd have to drop support for Info manuals essentially.  I for my part am totally for it; I'd rather wait and hope for Emacs to add support for a better manual format that we build to.  Texinfo is only used within Gnu and Emacs nowadays; it's a dead end and a rotten technology.  I'd just throw it out, rather than try and continue to cope with it.\r\n\r\nBut what do you think?\r\n\r\n/cc @cpitclaudel @purcell @jwiegley @bbatsov "},"comment":{"url":"https://api.github.com/repos/flycheck/flycheck/issues/comments/192387694","html_url":"https://github.com/flycheck/flycheck/issues/901#issuecomment-192387694","issue_url":"https://api.github.com/repos/flycheck/flycheck/issues/901","id":192387694,"user":{"login":"cpitclaudel","id":8181630,"avatar_url":"https://avatars.githubusercontent.com/u/8181630?v=3","gravatar_id":"","url":"https://api.github.com/users/cpitclaudel","html_url":"https://github.com/cpitclaudel","followers_url":"https://api.github.com/users/cpitclaudel/followers","following_url":"https://api.github.com/users/cpitclaudel/following{/other_user}","gists_url":"https://api.github.com/users/cpitclaudel/gists{/gist_id}","starred_url":"https://api.github.com/users/cpitclaudel/starred{/owner}{/repo}","subscriptions_url":"https://api.github.com/users/cpitclaudel/subscriptions","organizations_url":"https://api.github.com/users/cpitclaudel/orgs","repos_url":"https://api.github.com/users/cpitclaudel/repos","events_url":"https://api.github.com/users/cpitclaudel/events{/privacy}","received_events_url":"https://api.github.com/users/cpitclaudel/received_events","type":"User","site_admin":false},"created_at":"2016-03-04T18:11:17Z","updated_at":"2016-03-04T18:11:17Z","body":"+1 for dropping TeXinfo :) I for one am not very good at browsing documentation in Emacs anyway, but I did read the docs on Flycheck's website."}}
