You would get much higher quality hardcopy (with usable cross
references) if you use tex to typeset the manual.  (Use "make
elisp.dvi" to generate the dvi file and "dvips elisp.dvi" to generate
the postscript file that you can print.)

One thing info is good at is searching.  With `i' you can search (with
completion) in the index.  With `s' you can search for a regular
expression.  I'm so used to these features that I can hardly imagine
living without them.
