NAME
texi2html - a Texinfo to HTML converter
SYNOPSIS
texi2html [options] file
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...
Texi2html may furthermore use latex2html to generate HTML (code and/or
images) for @math and @iftex tags (see the --l2h option).
Texi2html creates several files depending on the contents of the Tex-
info file and on the chosen options (see FILES).
The HTML files created by texi2html are in general closer to TeX than
to Info. Using init files (see the --init-file option), other styles or
output formats may be selected.
OPTIONS
Options may be abbreviated to th shortests unique prefix. The following
is only an incomplete list of the available options:
--help [1|2]
Print usage instructions and list the most important, all
relevant, or all recognised (including obsolete) command-
line options, and exit.
--split chapter|section|node
Split the output into several HTML files (one per main
chapter/section or node).
--ifinfo --iftex --ifxml --ifplaintext --ifhtml
Expand @ifinfo, @iftex and @tex, @ifxml and @xml, @ifplain-
text, @ifhtml and @html regions, and don't expand @ifnot
corresponding regions (default: ifhtml).
--no-ifinfo --no-iftex --no-ifxml --no-ifplaintext --no-html
Don't expand @ifinfo, @iftex, @ifxml, @ifplaintext regions
and expand @ifnot corresponding regions.
-I dir Append dir to the directory list searched for included
files.
-P dir Prepend dir to the directory list searched for included
files.
--l2h Use latex2html for content of @math and @tex tags. Content
must be such that both, latex and tex, can translate it
correctly. I.e., no tex-only constructs must be used.
--css-include file
Use css file file.
--init-file file
Load init file file (see also FILES).
--document-language lang
Use lang as document language.
--macro-expand file
output macro expanded source in file.
--no-menu Don't show the Texinfo menus; by default they are shown.
--no-number Don't number the sections.
--use-nodes Use nodes for sectionning.
--prefix Use as prefix for output files, instead of basename.
--node-files
Produce one file per node for cross references.
--l2h-l2h prog
Use prog as latex2html program (default latex2html). Pro-
gram must be executable.
--l2h-init file
Use file as latex2html init file. file should be used to
specify in which way latex2html handles mathematical
expressions and formulas.
--l2h-tmp dir
Use dir as tmp dir for latex2html. This directory (resp.
its path) must not contain a dot (i.e., a ".").
--l2h-clean remove all intermediate files generated by latex2html (pre-
vents caching!)
--l2h-skip Do not really run latex2html. Use (kept) files of previous
runs, instead.
--verbose Give a verbose output.
--version Print version and exit.
FILES
Initialisation options are read first from
/usr/local/share/texi2html/texi2html/Config (the exact location being
changeable with the --datadir=dir option to the configure script), then
from /usr/local/etc/texi2html/Config (the exact location being change-
able with the --sysconfdir=dir option to the configure script), then
from ./Config, from $HOME/.texi2html/Config, and from any command-line
options including --init-file options; with later settings overriding
earlier ones.
By default texi2html my creates the following files (foo being the name
of the Texinfo file):
foo_toc.html The table of contents (if @contents is present).
foo.html The document's contents or the Top element.
foo_fot.html The footnotes (if any).
foo_abt.html An help section.
foo_l2h_img* Images generated by latex2html (if any).
When used with the --split option, it creates several files (one per
chapter or node), named foo_n.html (n being the index of the chapter or
node), and the foo.html file contains the Top element.
Otherwise it creates only one file: foo.html
