<dd><p>A reader for posts written in texinfo, the official documentation format
of the GNU project.  Metadata is encoded as <code>key: value</code> pairs, one
per line, at the beginning of the file.  A line with the <code>---</code>
sentinel marks the end of the metadata section and the rest of the file
is encoded as HTML.

<p>Example:

<div class="example">
<pre class="example">title: Hello, Texi!
date: 2016-08-20 12:00

@emph{Texinfo} is the official documentation format of the
@url{http://www.gnu.org/, GNU project}.  It was invented by Richard
Stallman and Bob Chassell many years ago, loosely based on Brian
Reid's Scribe and other formatting languages of the time.  It is
used by many non-GNU projects as well.
