Sorry, I thought the question was how to improve the `info' program
and the `M-x info' command.
Yes, sure. What are you saying?
If you're proposing that, say, info become an alias for lynx and
M-x info become an alias for w3-whatever, well, fine, but that doesn't
really address the issue.
Why do people want to improve the Info format, exactly?
Because, believe it or not, some people still use it, there's a lot of
history there, and just eradicating Info and replacing it with HTML
would not go over well.
Eliz>features such as index search that are not
available in HTML
Well, since we're hypothetically talking about M-x info, I could imagine
it reading the HTML from a Texinfo document and knowing about the index, etc.
yet doesn't support colors, bold/italics, and
other text attributes that existing text-mode terminals can display.
<font color="red">
<b>
...
(Whether Emacs is capable of using any of that stuff on a text terminal,
I don't know.)
