Re: accented letters....

It's readable enough thanks to syntax highlighting. I examined many markup languages and texinfo dialect is one of the most easily readable and understandable, directly in source, particularly when different command words have different colours.

Moreover, it is enough to shortern command works (example @b = @strong), to render it even more readable.

Also this may be done with a preprocessor, as I do. This because when using @alias command, makeinfo makes a good html output, tex not always interprets correctly aliases. So a "sed"-like preprocessing is sufficient to transform a shortened markup code into the standard texinfo code.

Cheers,
