Hello everyone!
Does texinfo suit other works that are not software-related like sys
admin documentation, lectures, long essays, fictional/non fictional
books? From what I've read in the manual so far, it is possible to
produce some of them but would you recommend it? Chapter 1 states:
> Texinfo
Correction: sys admin documentation is related to software obviously.

Texinfo is perfectly suitable for non-technical documentation, and
works very well for it.
It does contain constructs that are specific for software (@defn ...);
but it also contains constructs that are you as usable for prose.
You can use @alias to make "more sensible" markup keywords suitable
