NAME
       texi2html - a Texinfo to HTML converter

SYNOPSIS
       texi2html [options] file

       texi2html -check [-verbose] files

DESCRIPTION
       Texi2html  converts  the  given	Texinfo file to a set of HTML files. It tries to handle most of the Texinfo commands. It creates hypertext
       links for cross-references, footnotes...

       It also tries to add links from a reference to its corresponding entry in the bibliography (if any). It may also handle a glossary (see the
       -glossary option).

       Texi2html creates several files depending on the contents of the Texinfo file and on the chosen options (see FILES).

       The  HTML  files created by texi2html are closer to TeX than to Info, that's why texi2html converts @iftex sections and not @ifinfo ones by
       default. You can reverse this with the -expandinfo option.

OPTIONS
       -check	   Check the given file and give the list of all things that may be Texinfo commands.  This may be used to  check  the	output	of
		   texi2html to find the Texinfo commands that have been left in the HTML file.

       -expandinfo Expand @ifinfo sections, not @iftex ones.

       -glossary   Use	the section named 'Glossary' to build a list of terms and put links in the HTML document from each term toward its defini-
		   tion.

       -invisible name
		   Use name to create invisible destination anchors for index links. This is a workaround for a known bug of  many  WWW  browsers,
		   including xmosaic.

       -I dir	   Look also in dir to find included files.

       -menu	   Show the Texinfo menus; by default they are ignored.

       -monolithic Output only one file, including the table of contents and footnotes.

       -number	   Number the sections.

       -split_chapter
		   Split the output into several HTML files (one per main section: chapter, appendix...).

       -split_node Split the output into several HTML files (one per node).

       -usage	   Print usage instructions, listing the current available command-line options.

       -verbose    Give a verbose output. Can be used with the -check option.

FILES
       By default texi2html creates the following files (foo being the name of the Texinfo file):

       foo_toc.html    The table of contents.

       foo.html        The document's contents.

       foo_foot.html   The footnotes (if any).

       When  used  with the -split option, it creates several files (one per chapter or node), named foo_n.html (n being the indice of the chapter
       or node), instead of the single foo.html file.

       When used with the -monolithic option, it creates only one file: foo.html

VARIABLES
       texi2html predefines the following variables: html, texi2html.

ADDITIONAL COMMANDS
       texi2html implements the following non-Texinfo commands:

       @ifhtml	       This indicates the start of an HTML section, this section will passed through without any modofication.

       @end ifhtml     This indcates the end of an HTML section.
