NAME

makeinfo - translate Texinfo documents

SYNOPSIS

makeinfo [OPTION]... TEXINFO-FILE...

DESCRIPTION

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).
-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
