texi2html - a Texinfo to HTML converter
texi2html [options]
file
texi2html -check [-verbose] files
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.
- -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 definition.
- -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.
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
texi2html predefines the following variables:
html , texi2html .
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.
This is texi2html
version 1.51, 09/10/96.
