+[[I|tschwinge]] started writing a plugin to render
+[GNU Texinfo](http://www.gnu.org/software/texinfo/)
inside the ikiwiki environment.
+This plugin is not neccessarily meant to enable people to write arbitrary
+wiki pages in the Texinfo format (even though that is possible, of course),
+but rather to ease collaboration on existing Texinfo documents.
+
The plugin is available at <http://www.schwinge.homeip.net/~thomas/tmp/texinfo.pm>.
It's very basic at the moment, but will be improved over time.

## `makeinfo` Output
`makeinfo --html` is being used for rendering. It creates stand-alone
-HTML files, while ikiwiki only needs the files' `<body>`s. --[[tschwinge]]
+HTML files, while ikiwiki only needs the files' `<body>`s.

+everythin until `<body>` is seen and after `</body>` has been seen. --[[tschwinge]]
