The official documentation format of the GNU project
Texinfo is the official documentation format of the GNU project. It uses a single source file to produce output in a number of formats, both online and printed (dvi, info, html, xml, etc.). This means that instead of writing different documents for online information and another for a printed manual, you need write only one document. Some features need texlive (unnecessary if only the info command is used).

To install texinfo, run the following command in macOS terminal (Applications->Utilities->Terminal)
sudo port install texinfo
To see what files were installed by texinfo, run:
port contents texinfo
To later upgrade texinfo, run:
sudo port selfupdate && sudo port upgrade texinfo
Reporting an issue on MacPorts Trac
The MacPorts Project uses a system called Trac to file tickets to report bugs and enhancement requests.
Though anyone may search Trac for tickets, you must have a GitHub account in order to login to Trac to create tickets.
