How to display an info page (not installed on system)?

Tags:

emacs

texinfo

I'm working on documentation for a large eLisp library. I have it in *.info file. I would like to be able to display its contents (also during development) in Emacs somehow, but I can't find a way to display it in info mode (I can only open it as source).

Ideally, I'd also be interested in a mechanism to add this file to the contents of info-finder.

C-uC-hi will prompt you for an info file to read.

As for installing a new info file, you basically add the file to a directory in your INFOPATH and then add an entry for it in the Info Directory node (i.e. the dir file).

You can get into some of the details here:
C-hig (info) Expert Info RET

Or ask Google: http://www.google.com/search?q=install+info+file
