The point of info is that it's supposed to be easy to generate
HTMLified versions of the docs, as well as other versions (pdf,
plaintext, whatever). Okay, the generated HTML isn't very pretty, and
it's not easy to insert images into TeXinfo files (I think), but it
solves both of the problems above. Currently QtOctave uses Octave's
HTMLified TeXinfo as a documentation browser, and whatever other
problems QtOctave has, this one does seem like the right thing to do.

What problem are you solving that generating HTML from TeXinfo isn't solving?
