love-pingoo: Hey, I'm on leetnux, it doesn't have user documentation. :)
<ulfdoz>
But I know what you mean, I already had a lot of anger with undocumented code, too: "documentation? What for? You can ask me if you don't know what my code does."

linux does have a lot of documentation (info and man pages
<ulfdoz>
Which often is not as useful as it should be. And I hate info in general for its unintuitive user-interface and bad search capabilities. html + htdig + some browser would be the better choice imho.

ulfdoz: try a different info reader, like pinfo
<dylan>
or vim with info.vim ;)
<ulfdoz>
pinfo isn't gentoo-compatible due to its hardcoded paths and filename patterns. But info.vim sound promising.
<descender>
bad search capabilities? what kind of searching do you do?
<descender>
ctrl-r and ctrl-s works well for me
<descender>
my only gripe with info is its formatting - the line breaks are fixed

descender: You can not limit or define, how to search the node tree, limit to special nodes or search in nodes referenced by another.
<ulfdoz>
So, basically you have the search capabilities of your man-pager.
<ulfdoz>
usually less or more.
<descender>
well.. at least you could search a subtree
<descender>
with the current node as the root
<ulfdoz>
Imho, not more a minimal than optimal solution, because it boils down to plain text search in the text you get when concatenating all nodes of the tree, this like a long manpage.
