It's depends... To convert texinfo to info/html, you must include
specific (hypertext) tags. Pdf, ps & txt are linear and also need
specifics formatting tags (chapter, headings, etc...).

PDF was preferred because it is readable across platforms and very
usefull for booklet printing

I've omit to say that inside AIDE, the most importants docs are also
in INFO format (for Emacs/Glide) and HTML (for GPS). Additionals docs
has also been added for Emacs and GPS.

All theses docs are directly readable inside Emacs/Glide and GPS.
