+
+<p>The manuals for GCC as a whole, and the C and C++ front ends, are in
+files <samp>doc/*.texi</samp>. Other front ends have their own manuals in
+files <samp><var>language</var>/*.texi</samp>. Common files
+<samp>doc/include/*.texi</samp> are provided which may be included in
+multiple manuals; the following files are in <samp>doc/include</samp>:

+<dl compact="compact">
+<dt><samp>fdl.texi</samp></dt>

+<dd><p>The section &ldquo;Funding Free Software&rdquo;.

+</p></dd>
+</dl>
+
+<p>DVI-formatted manuals are generated by &lsquo;<samp>make dvi</samp>&rsquo;, which uses
+<code>texi2dvi</code> (via the Makefile macro <code>$(TEXI2DVI)</code>).
+PDF-formatted manuals are generated by &lsquo;<samp>make pdf</samp>&rsquo;, which uses
+<code>texi2pdf</code> (via the Makefile macro <code>$(TEXI2PDF)</code>). HTML
+formatted manuals are generated by &lsquo;<samp>make html</samp>&rsquo;. Info
+manuals are generated by &lsquo;<samp>make info</samp>&rsquo; (which is run as part of
+a bootstrap); this generates the manuals in the source directory,
+using <code>makeinfo</code> via the Makefile macro <code>$(MAKEINFO)</code>,
+and they are included in release distributions.
+</p>
+<p>Manuals are also provided on the GCC web site, in both HTML and
+PostScript forms. This is done via the script
+<samp>maintainer-scripts/update_web_docs_git</samp>. Each manual to be
+provided online must be listed in the definition of <code>MANUALS</code> in
+that file; a file <samp><var>name</var>.texi</samp> must only appear once in the
+source tree, and the output manual must have the same name as the
+source file. (However, other Texinfo files, included in manuals but
+not themselves the root files of manuals, may have names that appear
+more than once in the source tree.) The manual file
+<samp><var>name</var>.texi</samp> should only include other files in its own
+directory or in <samp>doc/include</samp>. HTML manuals will be generated by
+&lsquo;<samp>makeinfo --html</samp>&rsquo;, PostScript manuals by <code>texi2dvi</code>
+and <code>dvips</code>, and PDF manuals by <code>texi2pdf</code>.
+All Texinfo files that are parts of manuals must
+be version-controlled, even if they are generated files, for the
+generation of online manuals to work.
+</p>
+<p>The installation manual, <samp>doc/install.texi</samp>, is also provided on
+the GCC web site. The HTML version is generated by the script
+<samp>doc/install.texi2html</samp>.
