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.
Generaloptions:--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.
-v, --verbose
explain what is being done.
--version
display version information and exit.
Outputformatselection(defaultistoproduceInfo):--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.
Generaloutputoptions:-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).
OptionsforInfoandplaintext:--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).
OptionsforHTML:--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.
OptionsforDVI/PS/PDF:--Xopt=OPT
pass OPT to texi2dvi; can be repeated.
Inputfileoptions:-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.
Conditionalprocessingininput:--ifdocbook

--ifhtml
process @ifhtml and @html even if not generating HTML.
--ifinfo
process @ifinfo even if not generating Info.
--iflatex
process @iflatex and @latex.
--ifplaintext

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.
