It's more than that. In my hen.el package, typing C-c C-h will would
pop up the documentation of the symbol under the cursor. The search
are done in this order:
- r5rs info file
- chicken info file
- SRFIs info file (if I figure a way to convert the HTML back
to info).

Not really! the other way around would work!

I know it's entirely up to you an dyou're very busy, but I wish
that either you would either:
- use texinfo as the original format for the manual! :-)
texinfo is a much higher level (logical markup) language
than LaTeX. from TeXish pov, texinfo IS a macro package like
LaTeX, which means it can be compiled into hi-quality
dvi/pdf/html document.
or
- be much more consistent with your LaTeX use. Now, some times
procedure/syntax are listed in `itemize' environment,
sometimes it's `description'! Converting to texinfo is so
much a pain.
The nice thing about texinfo is that you have @deffn command
to describe a function, @defvr for variables, @defmac for
macros, @defspec for special-forms and @lisp enviroment to
show scheme code snippets! R5RS uses texinfo as their
original format.
Just my 0.02cents wish anyway! please don't take it as a complaint!
Chicken is already GREAT as is!
