- Texinfo, Version 2.10
- =====================
-
- * This is a late beta test. This version includes Brian Fox's latest
- fixes to makeinfo.c---this is the first update to makeinfo.c since
- June.
-
- Other changes are less significant.
-
- `texnfo-tex.el' uses sentinels now and has a new function that to
- quit a currently running TeX job, by sending an `x' to it. Also,
- runs `/bin/sh' so `explicit-shell-file-name' is not set globally
-
- `texinfo.el' makes `indent-tabs-mode' a local variable and set it to
- nil to prevent TABs troubles with TeX.
-
- `texinfmt.el' now looks handles Cambridge Univ. Press style
- dashes (like --- this) as well as Oxford Univ. style dashes
- (like--this).
-
- `texnfo-upd.el' and `texi2dvi' received bug fixes.
-
- `texinfo2.texi' somewhat improved.
-
- * Please try this out and send me bug reports.

-
- Bugs to bob@gnu.ai.mit.edu. I maintain the Emacs Lisp files and the
- manual. I forward bug reports for info, makeinfo, and texindex to
- bfox@gnu.ai.mit.edu, reports for texinfo.tex to rms@gnu.ai.mit.edu,
- and reports for texi2dvi to roland@gnu.ai.mit.edu.
-
- Use a command such as 'tar xvzf texinfo2.tar.Z' to uncompress and
- extract the files.
-
- This directory contains version 2 of the Texinfo package:
-
- texinfo2.texi This is Edition 2 of the Texinfo Manual,
- dated September 1991
-
- README This file
- Makefile Create a compressed tar file of the package,
- as distributed
- New-features Summary of new features
- texinfo.tex Definitions file used by Tex
- texi2dvi Shell script for producing indexed DVI files
-
- >texi2roff< to be added when new version is ready
- Convert Texinfo file to [nt]roff form.
-
- The `elisp' subdirectory contains Emacs lisp code:
-
- texinfo.el Texinfo mode
- texnfo-upd.el Texinfo node and menu updating
- texinfmt.el Emacs lisp Info formatting
- makeinfo.el Emacs interface to the `makeinfo' formatting program
- texnfo-tex.el TeX and hardcopy printing
- info.el The standard Emacs Info files,
- informat.el included here for convenience.
-
- All these files should be installed in the default load-path for Emacs;
- otherwise Emacs will not be able to load the autoloaded support files,
- such as `texinfmt.el'. The `texinfo.el' file contains the autoload
- commands; it is the only file that needs to be loaded initially.
-
- The `C' subdirectory contains C code:
-
- makeinfo.c `makeinfo' source
- info.c `info' source
- getopt.c support files
- getopt1.c
- getopt.h
-
- texindex.c sort indices for TeX; included here for convenience
-
- configure Create a Makefile which in turn creates an `info' or
- `makeinfo' executable, or a C sources
- distribution.
-
- Makefile.in Template for `configure' to use to make a Makefile
-
- (Run `configure' first, then `make' to compile
- info and makeinfo.)
-
- This separate Texinfo package is temporary; after a period of testing,
- this documentation and software will be merged into the Emacs
- distribution. (But we may continue to distribute this in a
- separate package as well, for the convenience of those who just want
- these files.)
