Hej Grant!
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.
This program is commonly installed as both 'makeinfo' and 'texi2any';
the behavior is identical, and does not depend on the installed name.
General options:
--document-language=STR locale to use in translating Texinfo keywords
for the output document (default C).
--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).
--conf-dir=DIR search also for initialization files in DIR.
--init-file=FILE load FILE to modify the default behavior.
-c, --set-customization-variable VAR=VAL set customization variable VAR
to value VAL.
--trace-includes print names of included files.
-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.
--html output HTML.
--epub3 output EPUB 3.
--latex output LaTeX.
--plaintext output plain text rather than Info.
--xml output Texinfo XML.
--dvi, --dvipdf, --ps, --pdf call texi2dvi to generate given output,
after checking validity of TEXINFO-FILE.
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, if producing Info, write to
standard output by default.
--no-split suppress any splitting of the output;
generate only one output file.
--[no-]number-sections output chapter and sectioning numbers;
default is on.
-o, --output=DEST output to DEST.
With split output, create DEST as a directory
and put the output files there.
With non-split output, if DEST is already
a directory or ends with a /,
put the output file there.
Otherwise, DEST names the output file.
--disable-encoding do not output accented and special characters
in Info and plain text output based on document
encoding.
--enable-encoding override --disable-encoding (default).
Options for Info and plain text:
--fill-column=NUM break Info lines at NUM columns (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 (this is the 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 -.
--css-ref=URL generate CSS reference to URL.
--internal-links=FILE produce list of internal links in FILE.
--split=SPLIT split at SPLIT, where SPLIT may be 'chapter',
'section' or 'node'.
--transliterate-file-names use file names in ASCII transliteration.
--node-files produce redirection files for nodes and
anchors; default is set only if split.
Options for DVI/PS/PDF:
--Xopt=OPT pass OPT to texi2dvi; can be repeated.
Input file options:
-D VAR define the variable VAR, as with @set.
-D 'VAR VAL' define VAR to VAL (one shell argument).
-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.
--iflatex process @iflatex and @latex.
--ifplaintext process @ifplaintext even if not generating plain text.
--iftex process @iftex and @tex.
--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-iflatex do not process @iflatex and @latex 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 Docbook, --ifdocbook is on and the others are off;
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 LaTeX, --iflatex 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 --plaintext foo.texi write plain text to standard output
makeinfo --pdf foo.texi write PDF using texi2dvi
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
