The Guilev2 manual offers

File: guile-2.0.info,  Node: texinfo,  Next: texinfo docbook,  Prev: sxml xpath,  Up: Standard Library

8.9 (texinfo)
=============

8.9.1 Overview
--------------

Texinfo processing in scheme
.............................

This module parses texinfo into SXML. TeX will always be the processor
of choice for print output, of course. However, although `makeinfo'
works well for info, its output in other formats is not very
customizable, and the program is not extensible as a whole. This module
aims to provide an extensible framework for texinfo processing that
integrates texinfo into the constellation of SXML processing tools.


so that would seem a somewhat interesting starting point.
