Texinfo pages were originally meant to be a longer alternative to manpages that had support for featureful navigation (links, indexes, etc). They’re nice and I can see a world where they did catch on, but the standard viewer is always a little bit of a shock to jump in to (being based off Emacs and all)
As a CS bachelor, I feel like programmers are not so good at giving examples. They are used to refactoring to cover more general cases. It’s a part that makes me struggle at mathematics the most, because good examples are like half of math.
I just wish they’d put some damn usage examples in there. I usually just need to do one thing I don’t need a dissertation about it.
Some man pages have them. I agree that they should be more common though.
they are usually at the end
I would say sometimes rather than usually.
