Texinfo converting Tools
Release 1.00 28.03.97
(c) 1996 by Andreas Kaiser

Informations about the Texinfo converting Tools:
o All of the converters are based upon Andreas
Kaiser's Texinfo to IPF(V1.20 which has never
been released).
I got the sources and the permission
to redistribute this package with his
friendly permission.
Thanks Andreas.
I have fixed many bugs in the Texinfo to IPF
converter and added much stuff, but
may be I have changed the behaviour of
the converter(I hope I didn't).
If you have problems to do a converting
job with this new release which was done
without problems with the old one (Texi2ipf V1.00)
then please let me know that.
Let me tell you about the reasons to create a converter
to HTML:
I know that there exist one. The texi2html.pl Perl script.
But texi2html.pl-script has the disadvantage not to support
all of the Texinfo commands(@def...@).
But the main reason was that the copyright of the texi2html script
is not GPL !!!
Usage for all converters:
texi2ipf [options] Texinfo-source-file IPF-source-file
or
texi2ipf [options] Texinfo-source-file online-doc-file
where
IPF-source-file = *.IPF
online-doc-file = *.INF
Options:
-Dflag set Texinfo flag
-Uflag set Texinfo flag
-i create INF index
-n use @node to split into panels, not @chapter
-o Create output file depending on converter:
texi2ipf => .ipf
texihtml => .html on DOS .htm
texi2rtf => .rtf
-? display usage
If the extension of the output filename is .INF, texi2ipf
automatically invokes the IPFC program, which compiles the
temporary .IPF file to .INF. The IPFC program is a
component of the OS/2 toolkit. Any other extension
specifies an IPF source file. If you run IPFC separately,
use its option /W1 to avoid warnings.
If you are using the texihtml or the texi2rtf then
-n and -i options could be given, but the result?
I didn't test it(This behaviour should be changed)
Example:
texi2ipf -o cfg.tex
Produces cfg.ipf out of cfg.tex(info)
Example:
texihtml -o cfg.tex
Produces cfg.html out of cfg.tex(info)
