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
