I am still waiting for this.
Authoring IXIN, i developed a moderate (by no means
comprehensive) understanding of Info (format and .el),
so the following comment is obviously biased, and
(sorry, no time) not a thorough review as requested:
The IXIN format maintains all the semantic features
and drops most of the layout features of the Info
format, being essentially a re-arranged parse tree
dump (in Lisp- and Scheme-friendly sexps) of the
Texinfo input. Unhandled layout features are left
to the renderer.
The IXIN tarballs specify this format and include a
proof-of-concept renderer (for Emacs, of course :-D).
IXIN is mellifluous to hack. <-- NB: UNABASHED BIAS!
For details, i suggest reading The IXIN Chronicles,
which can be found in the release tarball (in subdir
spec/). To grab the latest (2013-02-16) release:
wget http://www.gnuvola.org/software/ixin/ixin-1.8.tar.xz
I will post a brief announcement when 1.9 becomes available.
Anyway, i welcome additional review / critique from
others; no doubt there's much room for improvement.
