- texi2strong v1.0 - © 1995 Jochen Scharrlach (jscharrl@ba-stuttgart.de)
-
- This program is freeware, i.e. you can freely use and distribute it.
- You may not sell this program or distribute modified versions without
- having the permission from the author.
-
- Usage: perl texi2strng <texinfo-file> <directory>
-
- What is Texinfo?
- ----------------
-
- Texinfo is a documentation system used by many GNU programs like GCC,
- Bison, Flex. You can either generate a hypertext documentation (INFO)
- or a printed manual via the TeX-DVI format.
-
- General comments
- ----------------
-
- This script is simply one big hack, there are several features missing
- but I was able to convert several Texinfo manuals I was interested in
- and for me that's all what counts. Don't look too critical at the
- formatting - !StrongHlp does less formatting than TeXinfo, so it would
- be a major job to do this nicely.
-
- If you don't know Perl5, don't try to understand the script...
-
- To use it under RiscOS
- ----------------------
-
- you'll need:
- - Perl5 release 1.5 or later (currently, there is only release
- 1.0 officially available)
- - an archive filing system like !ArcFS of !SparkFS, beacause the script
- generates usually more than 77 files and you can't feed !StrongHlp
- with those files directly (at least it didn't work with StrongHlp v2.02)
-
- Before you start, make sure that the variable $RiscOS is "1" (it is set at
- the top of the script).
-
- To use it under Unix
- --------------------
-
- you'll need:
- - Perl 5
-
- Set $RiscOS to "0".
-
- If you have major trouble
- -------------------------
-
- If you get warnings , take a look at the result before you send me a bug
- report: some "bugs" have no effect!
-
- If you find major bugs, drop me a mail with a description and an example:
- jscharrl@ba-stuttgart.de
-
- Special thanks to:
- ------------------
-
- * Larry Wall & friends for writing Perl
- * Luke Taylor & Paul Moore for porting it to RiscOS
- * Guttorm Vik for writing a *free* documentation system for RiscOS
-
- Enjoy!
