The documentation source files are in doc/*.texi.  They are Texinfo
source files.  You edit those using the Texinfo markup annotations,
documented in the Texinfo documentation (type "info texinfo" on a GNU
system).

To test your changes, you need to run "make info" in your build
directory, which will run `makeinfo' over the source files and produce
.info files.

To visually inspect the printed form of the documentation, run "make
dvi" and inspect the .dvi files using a DVI viewer like xdvi(1).
