@@ -2,8 +2,15 @@ texfot is a Perl script to filter the online output from a TeX run,
attempting to show only those messages which probably deserve some
change in the source. The TeX invocation itself need not change.
+The PDF file is made from the POD documentation in the Perl source:
+ pod2man texfot.pl | groff -man -t -rS11 | ps2pdf - texfot.pdf
+
+The -t preprocesses with (g)tbl, which pod2man output might need.
+The -rS11 switches to 11pt font size.
+Supposedly it is possible to add options to either groff or ps2pdf
+(aka ghostscript) to force A4 page output, but nothing worked for me.
