Maybe you should try using Emacs as an editor.  It has menus and buttons
for writing Texinfo, and if you do make, you can use C-u C-h i for
directly viewing the generated info files within Emacs (in case they do
compile) without images.  "make info" is the expensive version including
images, but it tends to be affordable after you got the initial run
behind you.

Perhaps you should get a Texinfo-aware editor.
