Thanks. Is there a good way to open that in a browser, rather than a console?

  In general, the best way to read Info documentation is inside Emacs.

    "If you are a bash newbie, you should read the bash manual. If you want proper search for the manual, you should use info. If you want proper use of info, you should use Emacs." Kind of a deep rabbit hole, isn't it?
    • teddyh 9y ago
      Not in this case; the bash manual is not in Info form, but a regular old-style Unix man page.

      True. You can do just fine in general eschewing info wankery in favor of man pages. Stallman may disapprove, but I don’t lose sleep over it.

  I don't know if you can locally, but they're often published online in HTML format, like at https://www.gnu.org/software/bash/manual/html_node/index.html https://www.gnu.org/software/bash/manual/html_node/index.htm....

  I get that they may be unfamiliar, but learning your system’s tools will pay off over the long run. Search facilities in less and info are generally much more powerful than in your browser.

  In addition to the HTML info pages hosted by GNU[1], a variety of GUI texinfo readers are available, such as tkinfo[2].
