No. Emacs _is_ odd. It's not even installed by default on most modern
Linux distributions.
There's no name-calling there. That's just a solid fact. You are
emacs-fixated when you keep on trying to bring up totally irrelevant
emacs issues.
You do not even know what you are talking about.
AsciiDoc is *also* a source format. But the source format is already
readable IN ITSELF. Which is the whole point!
I don't even bother to run "make doc". I bet that is true of almost
everybody else too. Why? Because the *source* format we use (asciidoc) is
already basically as readable as any formatted man-page would ever be.
You don't have to even *know* that they are AsciiDoc pages - they're just
called "*.txt", and that's what they are. Text. With very minimal fixups
that *allow* them to be used as source for things like html, and
admittedly you get prettier output, but it really is perfectly
straightforward to just read them, in ways that pretty much no other
documentation format allows. Everybody else puts very intrusive crap in
there, so that you *have* to be aware of in ways you don't need to worry
about in AsciiDoc.
Headers? Lists? They look like headers and lists in the .txt files. No
need to think about it as a reader.
See? Texinfo is decidedly inferior. But you don't have to take it so
personally. So is pretty much anything else. Anything XML/SGML is even
*worse*.
