22.3 texi2any
Printed Output
To justify the name Texinfo-to-any, texi2any
has
basic support for creating printed output in the various formats:
TeX DVI, PDF, and PostScript. This is done via the simple method
of executing the texi2dvi
program when those outputs are
requested.
The output format options for this are ‘--dvi’,
‘--dvipdf’, ‘--pdf’, and ‘--ps’. See section Format with texi2dvi
, for more details on these options and general
texi2dvi
operation. In addition, the ‘--verbose’,
‘--silent’, and ‘--quiet’ options are passed on if
specified; the ‘-I’ and ‘-o’ options are likewise passed
on with their arguments, and ‘--debug’ without its argument.
The only option remaining that is related to the texi2dvi
invocation is ‘--Xopt’. Here, just the argument is passed on
and multiple ‘--Xopt’ options accumulate. This provides a way
to construct an arbitrary command line for texi2dvi
. For
example, running
texi2any --Xopt -t --Xopt @a4paper --pdf foo.texi
is equivalent to running
texi2dvi -t @a4paper --pdf foo.texi
Although one might wish that other options to texi2any
would
take effect, they don’t. For example, running ‘texi2any
--no-number-sections --dvi foo.texi’ still results in a DVI file with
numbered sections. (Perhaps this could be improved in the future, if
requests are received.)
The actual name of the command that is invoked is specified by the
TEXI2DVI
customization variable (see section Other Customization Variables). As you might guess, the default is ‘texi2dvi’.
texi2any
itself does not generate any output when it invokes
texi2dvi
.
