Yes, that's its purpose. See the Texinfo manual, which describes that. You can also invoke texi2any (which is the same as makeinfo: one is usually symlinked to the other). > Have seen people using `texi2html' and `texi2pdf' - would I need those? That's not necessary, because makeinfo has command-line options to produce all of the formats.
