+ (p [The ,(tt [info]) engine produces GNU,(~)Info files for on-line
+browsing with GNU,(~)Emacs of with the stand-alone Info reader of ,(ref
+:text [GNU,(~)Texinfo] :url "http://www.gnu.org/software/texinfo/").])
+
+ (p [For each ,(markup-ref "chapter"), ,(markup-ref "section"), etc.,
+an Info node is created, whose name is inferred from the ,(param :title)
+option. However, Info node names have to be unique, which the ,(param
+:title) options are not necessarily. Thus, the Info engine does two
+things:
+
+,(enumerate
+ (item [It warns you about duplicate Info node titles.])
+ (item [It allows you to choose a different node name to avoid
+conflicts, using the ,(param :info-node) option of ,(markup-ref
+"chapter"), etc.]))
+
+Most markups shown in ,(numref :text [Chapter] :ident "std-markups") are
+meaningfully rendered in Info, including tables.]))
