The subject says it. I don't like 'info' much. What better options exist?

Well, in Koqueror, press Alt-F2 and then in the box, enter ##subject. This will bring up the info page in Konqueror. If you use a single #, you get the man pages.

I don't like info much either but I'm not sure pinfo would help. The problem I have with info is finding content. If the information is in a single document, I can search/browse it easily. Doesn't matter whether the document is a text manpage, or HTML or PDF or whatever. But if it's broken up into lots of little documents then I'm reliant on how the author constructed them. It's much harder to browse. Is there an application that flattens 'info' into e.g. a single HTML page? Thanks, Dave
