Stephen Leake did the module for converting the RM source to Texinfo as an
add-in the processing program for the RM+Corrigendum version. I didn't try
to maintain that module while working on Ada 2005, because I don't know
anything about Texinfo. I did talk to Stephen about it at one point, and we
agreed it would be best to wait until the RM was finished. Of course that
has happened; I don't know if he is still planning to update his Texinfo
module.

In the mean time, you'll have to live with the HTML version and its search
engine. I just leave a browser page open to it at all times (saves reloading
it repeatedly).
