The man page for bash includes everything. The info manual includes more
examples. I think other authors should follow that model, but I'm not going
to tell a volunteer what he has to do, and I understand how difficult it is
to maintain parallel content.
'info' is technologically spoken 'superior'. However replacing
'info' by html, what someone recommended for 'emacs'(sic!), is even
more superior.
However superior isn't really of great importance. nroff is good enough, its used by
millions of *NIX users since more than 40 years, whereas 'info' is only used by
a small sect.
Hence, I recommend to stop using 'info' at all, avoiding the maintenance of
parallel and unused contents.
