.SH DESCRIPTION
Translate Texinfo source documentation to various other formats, by default
Info files suitable for reading online with Emacs or standalone GNU Info.
.PP
This program is commonly installed as both `makeinfo' and `texi2any';
the behavior is identical, and does not depend on the installed name.
.SS "General options:"
.TP
\fB\-\-document\-language\fR=\fI\,STR\/\fR locale to use in translating Texinfo keywords
for the output document (default C).
.TP
\fB\-\-error\-limit\fR=\fI\,NUM\/\fR
quit after NUM errors (default 100).
.TP
\fB\-\-force\fR
preserve output even if errors.
.TP
\fB\-\-help\fR
display this help and exit.
.TP
\fB\-\-no\-validate\fR
suppress node cross\-reference validation.
.TP
\fB\-\-no\-warn\fR
suppress warnings (but not errors).
.TP
\fB\-\-conf\-dir\fR=\fI\,DIR\/\fR
search also for initialization files in DIR.
.TP
\fB\-\-init\-file\fR=\fI\,FILE\/\fR
load FILE to modify the default behavior.
.TP
\fB\-c\fR, \fB\-\-set\-customization\-variable\fR VAR=VAL
set customization variable VAR
to value VAL.
.TP
\fB\-v\fR, \fB\-\-verbose\fR
explain what is being done.
.TP
\fB\-\-version\fR
display version information and exit.
.SS "Output format selection (default is to produce Info):"
.TP
\fB\-\-docbook\fR
output Docbook XML.
.TP
\fB\-\-html\fR
output HTML.
.TP
\fB\-\-epub3\fR
output EPUB 3.
.TP
\fB\-\-latex\fR
output LaTeX.
.TP
\fB\-\-plaintext\fR
output plain text rather than Info.
.TP
\fB\-\-xml\fR
output Texinfo XML.
.TP
\fB\-\-dvi\fR, \fB\-\-dvipdf\fR, \fB\-\-ps\fR, \fB\-\-pdf\fR
call texi2dvi to generate given output,
after checking validity of TEXINFO\-FILE.
.SS "General output options:"
.TP
\fB\-E\fR, \fB\-\-macro\-expand\fR=\fI\,FILE\/\fR
output macro\-expanded source to FILE,
ignoring any @setfilename.
.TP
\fB\-\-no\-headers\fR
suppress node separators, Node: lines, and menus
from Info output (thus producing plain text)
or from HTML (thus producing shorter output).
Also, if producing Info, write to
standard output by default.
.TP
\fB\-\-no\-split\fR
suppress any splitting of the output;
generate only one output file.
.TP
\fB\-\-[no\-]number\-sections\fR
output chapter and sectioning numbers;
default is on.
.TP
\fB\-o\fR, \fB\-\-output\fR=\fI\,DEST\/\fR
output to DEST.
With split output, create DEST as a directory
and put the output files there.
With non\-split output, if DEST is already
a directory or ends with a /,
put the output file there.
Otherwise, DEST names the output file.
.TP
\fB\-\-disable\-encoding\fR
do not output accented and special characters
in Info output based on document encoding.
.TP
\fB\-\-enable\-encoding\fR
based on document encoding, output accented
characters in XML\-based output as well as
special characters in HTML instead of
entities.
.SS "Options for Info and plain text:"
