Description
This manual page describes the various shell scripts that convert documents in the Yodl language to other
formats. The basic converters are:
o yodl2html(1): converts to HTML, writes a file with the extension .html.
o yodl2man(1): converts to nroff `man’ format, writes .man. Can be further processed with e.g. nroff-Tascii-manfile.man.
o yodl2latex(1): converts to LaTeX output, writes .latex. Can be further processed with, e.g., latexfile.latex.
o yodl2txt(1): converts to plain ASCII, writes .txt. This is a very rudimentary converter, a
last-resort.
Files
Each yodl2format converter requires a file format.yo in Yodl’s include path (e.g., `tmp/wip/macros’).
This file is auto-loaded before `FILE’ (see the synopsis) is loaded, to make the conversion to format
possible.
The output is written to one or more files having the extension .format.

yodl2... - miscellaneous Yodl converters
Options
The options are identical to those of the yodl(1) program.
Additionally, the following options are available:
o `--no-warnings’:
By default the converters call yodl(1) using the `-w’ flag. The option `--no-warnings’ suppresses
this flag.
o `--intermediate=<filename>’:
By default, files used for the communication between yodl and yodlpost are removed following the
conversion. The `--intermediate=<filename>’ option may be provided to retain these files, called
`<filename>’ and `<filename>.idx’.
