Usage: makeinfo [OPTION]... TEXINFO-FILE...
Translate Texinfo source documentation to various other formats, by default
Info files suitable for reading online with Emacs or standalone GNU Info.
General options:
--error-limit=NUM quit after NUM errors (default 100).
--force preserve output even if errors.
--help display this help and exit.
--no-validate suppress node cross-reference validation.
--no-warn suppress warnings (but not errors).
--reference-limit=NUM warn about at most NUM references (default 1000).
--em20 make char ptr compatible with Emacs20 or later.
-v, --verbose explain what is being done.
--version display version information and exit.
Output format selection (default is to produce Info):
--docbook output Docbook XML rather than Info.
--html output HTML rather than Info.
--xml output Texinfo XML rather than Info.
--plaintext output plain text rather than Info.
General output options:
-E, --macro-expand FILE output macro-expanded source to FILE.
ignoring any @setfilename.
--no-headers suppress node separators, Node: lines, and menus
from Info output (thus producing plain text)
or from HTML (thus producing shorter output);
also, write to standard output by default.
--no-split suppress splitting of Info or HTML output,
generate only one output file.
--number-sections output chapter and sectioning numbers.
-o, --output=FILE output to FILE (directory if split HTML),
Options for Info and plain text:
--enable-encoding output accented and special characters in
Info output based on @documentencoding.
--fill-column=NUM break Info lines at NUM characters (default 72).
--footnote-style=STYLE output footnotes in Info according to STYLE:
`separate' to put them in their own node;
`end' to put them at the end of the node
in which they are defined (default).
--paragraph-indent=VAL indent Info paragraphs by VAL spaces (default 3).
If VAL is `none', do not indent; if VAL is
`asis', preserve existing indentation.
--split-size=NUM split Info files at size NUM (default 300000).
Options for HTML:
--css-include=FILE include FILE in HTML <style> output;
read stdin if FILE is -.
Options for XML and Docbook:
--output-indent=VAL indent XML elements by VAL spaces (default 2).
If VAL is 0, ignorable whitespace is dropped.
Input file options:
--commands-in-node-names allow @ commands in node names.
-D VAR define the variable VAR, as with @set.
-I DIR append DIR to the @include search path.
-P DIR prepend DIR to the @include search path.
-U VAR undefine the variable VAR, as with @clear.
Conditional processing in input:
--ifdocbook process @ifdocbook and @docbook even if
not generating Docbook.
--ifhtml process @ifhtml and @html even if not generating HTML.
--ifinfo process @ifinfo even if not generating Info.
--ifplaintext process @ifplaintext even if not generating plain text.
--iftex process @iftex and @tex; implies --no-split.
--ifxml process @ifxml and @xml.
--no-ifdocbook do not process @ifdocbook and @docbook text.
--no-ifhtml do not process @ifhtml and @html text.
--no-ifinfo do not process @ifinfo text.
--no-ifplaintext do not process @ifplaintext text.
--no-iftex do not process @iftex and @tex text.
--no-ifxml do not process @ifxml and @xml text.
Also, for the --no-ifFORMAT options, do process @ifnotFORMAT text.
The defaults for the @if... conditionals depend on the output format:
if generating HTML, --ifhtml is on and the others are off;
if generating Info, --ifinfo is on and the others are off;
if generating plain text, --ifplaintext is on and the others are off;
if generating XML, --ifxml is on and the others are off.
Examples:
makeinfo foo.texi write Info to foo's @setfilename
makeinfo --html foo.texi write HTML to @setfilename
makeinfo --xml foo.texi write Texinfo XML to @setfilename
makeinfo --docbook foo.texi write DocBook XML to @setfilename
makeinfo --no-headers foo.texi write plain text to standard output
makeinfo --html --no-headers foo.texi write html without node lines, menus
makeinfo --number-sections foo.texi write Info with numbered sections
makeinfo --no-split foo.texi write one Info file however big
makeinfo --em20 foo.texi write Info compatible with Emacs20
