What are .TEXINFO files and how to open them?

Can't open .TEXINFO file? Are you wondering what it contains? On our site we will explain to you what this file is, what it is used for and what software opens the .TEXINFO file.

What is a .TEXINFO file extension?

.TEXINFO file extension is created by LaTeX Project Development Team. .TEXINFO has been classified as Source code and script Files.

.TEXINFO is Texinfo source data

The texinfo file extension is related to Texinfo, the official documentation format of the GNU project. It was invented by Richard Stallman and Bob Chassell many years ago, loosely based on Brian Reid's Scribe and other formatting languages of the time. It is used by many non-GNU projects as well.

MIME types:
application/x-texinfo

.TEXINFO file format is deprecated and this file format is no longer supported.

Currently, .TEXINFO file type is not actively used and is obsolete. This usually happens with system files in older operating systems, files from long-discontinued software, or with previous versions of some file types (documents, projects, images, etc.) that were replaced in later versions of the original programs.


How to open:

This file type is not meant to be opened directly, there is no software that could open and work with it directly, or there is no information available in public sources about opening this file type. This is usually the case of some internal data files, caches, temporary files etc.

How to convert:

As far as we know, this .texinfo file type can't be converted to any other file format. This is usually the case of system, configuration, temporary, or data files containing data exclusive to only one software and used for its own purposes. Also some proprietary or closed file formats cannot be converted to more common file types in order to protect the intellectual property of the developer, which is for example the case of some DRM-protected multimedia files.

How to fix problems with .TEXINFO files

  1. You need to update the application that you normally use to open .TEXINFO files. Only the latest version of the software supports the current .TEXINFO file format
  2. You need to check the .TEXINFO file for viruses. To do this, you need to scan it with a popular antivirus (Norton, Nod32, Kaspersky, Dr.Web, etc.)
