Talking of manuals, I find large man pages very difficult to use,
specially when you need something specific. No clickable table of
content, no clickable index. Info pages are somewhat better.

No, man pages do not contain links to section of the document. It is not
structured.

Maybe the viewer can, but the man files don't.
There is the tool "pinfo", it can highlight somethings like the name of
another man page, and jump to it.
Still, no table of content. No jumping from one section while browsing
the man page.
See man man page, for example.
SYNOPSIS
man [man options] [[section] page ...] ...
man -k [apropos options] regexp ...
man -K [man options] [section] term ...
man -f [whatis options] page ...
man -l [man options] file ...
man -w|-W [man options] page ...
I can not click or tap on the third line to explain to me about "man -K"

I agree with you on the _horrendous large_ 'man' "pages".
They shouldn't replace exhaustive and thorough documentation, IMO.
But worse I think are the ("maneuverable") 'info' pages.
Or the habit of some "Unixes" to have no man-page information but
only a stub with the hint to look into the (IMO horrendous) 'info'
pages. (I'm aware that some certainly prefer them; how else would
their proliferation be otherwise explainable.)
Concerning "clickable" information generally, mind the time when
man-pages were introduced!

Sure, point and click can also work without a mouse. Use the cursor to
select an entry in the table of contents, then hit enter.

But technically we have already "clickable" documents; with HTML for
example.
(Although it should still be available in one page, and ideally also
searchable by regexps in easy ways. (As opposed to click on a search
icon, move the mouse to a new sub-window, (optionally) click another
time in that window to "activate" it for input, type in only a fixed
non-regexp text (often without possibility to distinguish caps, or,
if you're lucky, only with an extra click in some control-box), and
hit enter (if you're lucky) or have to again move the mouse to click
on some Okay button.) - I certainly hate to have no '/search-pattern'
or '<Ctrl-F>search-pattern' available; with emphasis on "pattern".)
Personally I typically want (at least) three levels of information.
Terse usage information, complete interface description, and thorough
explanations of all details in case of the more complex tools.
Mostly we (now) have all that information; if only through the Web.
(But often inconsistent or even unreliable.)
Should we have everything just in one (clickable) format like HTML?
I don't think so. Should we have all the spread existing information
rewritten in some other format? Well, who would do that job?
What I (also) criticize is that we don't have a consistent level of
information with some newer Linux platforms. I wished for the "second
level" of information that the man page format would have been kept/
maintained instead of trying to deprive that format in favor of the
'info' format.

Yes, sure. For long documents ("level three" information) with a lot
content where a "table of contents" is sensible that makes completely
sense. (Even pure mouse-control would be fine here [for me] in this
case.)
For the information level where I'd see the man-pages I wouldn't even
need a "table of contents", since that type of information shouldn't
be that voluminous, IMO.

"Hyper-Text" - it goes WAY back. Had a *little*
input on at least the concept. Also suggested
an 'any machine' lang ... eventually we got Java.

'Mice' are still a GREAT/useful idea. Thank Xerox !
Finer control than poking yer finger at a screen too.

But what if it BECAME so ?
Shit turns into a lot MORE shit.
My input to hypertext in the ancient days was the
idea of a sort of 'infinitely-indexed database'
where everything of importance somehow linked to
a huge tree of related info, which linked to a
huge tree of related info .....
Weren't as many 'computer geeks' back then.
They solved the index-space issue by using html
page links. The giant 'tree' wasn't in one place
any more. Not really possible before the early-80s
alas until DARPA-Net firmly became the Internet.

Yes, and some tools use that. But then, a command like "apropos" does
not find that page.

Well, I find "info date" (for me "pinfo date") better for finding the
information than "man date". Or "pinfo gcc".

Yes, but I have trouble finding the information for commands with very
long pages, like "man zypper" (2559 lines).

A question is how much of that is already possible using the current
format.
And another question is whether the current format, which could easily
be printed besides being installed as an online manual, does make for
better documentation to read than something focused on having more
internal references.

Printed documentation did have indexes and tables of content, with page
numbers, so that you could find where something was in the paper.
As to printing man pages, well.. I can't store that much paper any more.

Well, Info in Emacs isn't too bad.
Have a look at the Symbolics Lisp Machine Documentation System
Concordia. That was pretty good.

Most man pages are not supposed to be that large. Of course, there
are some exceptions (like bash). For those I think you’ll find the
man page was generated from some other, more navigable form anyway.
For example, if you look at Perl, you will see its documentation is
broken up across a whole series of man pages -- over 200 of them.
(Is that going too far in the other direction, do you think ... ?)
Tip: if you prefer another form, like PDF, it’s quite easy to generate
that from any man page. I used to use a somewhat convoluted command
for this, but it turns the usual Linux “man” command has an option to
directly choose the output format, e.g. view a man page directly in
typeset form without saving it to a file:
man -Tpdf 7 unix | okular - &
(Substitute your choice of favourite PDF reader.)
> Info pages are somewhat better.
I have tried info pages a few times, but always found them awkward to
navigate. I’ve never heard of anybody who liked them.

PDF is fine, but not if the source is a man page, because there are no
cross references that you can click or tap; ditto table of contents and
index.

Try "pinfo" as navigator instead.
