NAME
       yodl2... - miscellaneous Yodl converters

SYNOPSIS
       yodl2... [OPTION]... FILE

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 -man file.man.

       o      yodl2latex(1): converts to LaTeX output, writes .latex. Can be further processed with, e.g., latex file.latex.

       o      yodl2txt(1): converts to plain ASCII, writes .txt. This is a very rudimentary converter, a last-resort.

       NOTE: Starting with Yodl version 3.00.0 Yodl's default file inclusion behavior has changed. The current working directory no longer remains
       fixed  at  the  directory in which Yodl is called, but is volatile, changing to the directory in which a yodl-file is located. This has the
       advantage that Yodl's file inclusion behavior now matches the way C's #include directive operates; it has  the  disadvantage  that  it  may
       break  some current documents. Conversion, however is simple but can be avoided altogether if the -L (--legacy-include) option is used (see
       below).

OPTIONS
       The options are identical to those of the yodl(1) program.

       Additionally, the following options are available:

       o      --no-warnings:
	      By default the convertors 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  --intermedi-
	      ate=<filename> option may be provided to retain these files, called <filename> and <filename>.idx.

FILES
       Each  yodl2format  converter requires a file format.yo in Yodl's include path (e.g., /usr/share/yodl). This file is auto-loaded before FILE
       (see the synopsys) is loaded, to make the conversion to format possible.

       The output is written to one or more files having the extension .format.
