Using Texinfo, -you can create a printed document with the normal features of a book, -including chapters, sections, cross references, and indices. From the -same Texinfo source file, you can create a menu-driven, on-line Info -file with nodes, menus, cross references, and indices. - -The name of the Texinfo source documentation file is `texinfo.txi'. -You can produce both on-line information and printed output from this -source file. The documentation describes Texinfo in detail, including -how to write Texinfo files, how to format them for both hard copy and -Info, and how to install Info files. - -To get started, you need to create either a printed manual or an -on-line Info file from the `texinfo.txi' file. You do not need to -create both, although you will probably want both eventually. - -To learn how to use Info, read the info documentation. You can do this in -one of two ways: using the standalone `info' program, or using Info mode in -GNU Emacs. - - * If you want to use the `info' program, run - - info -f info-stnd - - * If you want to use Emacs, start up emacs and type `C-h i' [M-x info]. - Follow the instructions to learn how to use Info. - -After learning how to use Info, you can read the Texinfo documentation. -Using the standalone `info', type the following at the shell prompt: - - info -f texinfo - -To use read this manual in Emacs, you first need to edit the Info-directory -menu (the file `dir' in the system info directory) to contain the -appropriate node. To learn how to do this, see node: Add in the Info -documentation. - -The Texinfo documentation describes Texinfo in detail; among other things, -it tells how to install Info files in the usual manner. (See node: Install -an Info File.) - -The `info-stnd.info' file describes the standalone Info reader in detail. To -read this file, type - - $ info -f info-stnd - - -To create a printed manual -========================== - -You need: - - * The `tex' program, which typesets the manual using TeX. - * The `texinfo.tex' definition file that tells TeX how to typeset - a Texinfo file. - * The `texindex' program, which sorts the unsorted index files - created by TeX. - * A printing program such as `lp' or `lpr', - * A printer. - -This Texinfo distribution package contains `texinfo.tex', the C source -for `texindex', and the handy shell script `texi2dvi'. The `tex' -program is not part of this distribution, but is available separately. -(See `How to Obtain TeX' in the Texinfo documentation.) - - * Install `tex'. (`texindex' is installed automagically by - `make install' in this distribution.) - - * Move the `texinfo.tex' file to an appropriate directory; the current - directory will do. (`/usr/local/lib/tex/inputs' might be a good place. - See ``Preparing to Use TeX'' in the Texinfo manual, for more - information.) - -After following those instructions, type the following to make the .dvi -files: - - $ (cd doc; make dvi) - -You can then print the resulting .dvi files with the `lpr' or `lp' -commands, or maybe `dvips'. - -For example, the command to print the texinfo.dvi file might be: - - $ lpr -d texinfo.dvi - -The name of the printing command depends on the system; `lpr -d' is -common, and is illustrated here. You may use a different name for the -printing command. - -Please report bugs to bug-texinfo@gnu.org. - -Happy formatting. |
