Hi there,

Disclaimer: in a slight rush so I haven't downloaded the source and inspected the
Makefile targets...

Is it possible to build the documentation in Info format?

Perhaps this has been done already?

If not, how I might go about it?

Any tips/advice/pointers much appreciated.

Regards,

Sebastian

Not info format no, but we have them in unix man page formats.
pear channel-discover doc.php.net
pear install doc.php.net/pman
pman strpos

Thank you Hannes.

Noted.

Shame about the lack of Info format though. Nothing beats its index
searching functionality (and its speed).
