DOCUMENTATION
The primary documentation for Octave is written using Texinfo, the GNU

produce online and printed versions of the manual.
You can read the online copy of the Octave documentation by issuing

The Info files may also be read with a stand-alone program such as
info or xinfo. HTML, Postscript, or PDF versions of the
documentation are installed on many systems as well.
