Overview </h1> + + +<p><a href="http://www.texinfo.org">Texinfo</a> is the official +documentation format of the <a href="http://www.gnu.org">GNU</a> +project. It uses a single source file to produce both +online information and printed output. +</p> +<p>It is often desirable to have a way to produce +<acronym>HTML</acronym> from Texinfo sources, as GNU-Info files are +produced. It is much simpler to run a converter than it is to +rewrite all the documentation in <acronym>HTML</acronym>, especially +considering that there is so much Texinfo documentation in +the world. +</p> +<p>Some time ago <code>makeinfo</code> wasn't able to produce +<acronym>HTML</acronym> output format, but people still wanted documentation in +<acronym>HTML</acronym>. This was the birthing hour for +<code>texi2html</code>. The basic purpose of <code>texi2html</code> +is to convert Texinfo documents into <acronym>HTML</acronym>. +</p> +<p>Since then, <acronym>HTML</acronym> support in <code>makeinfo</code> has improved, but +<code>texi2html</code> is still stronger in many areas, including the degree to +which it allows customization. With <code>texi2html</code>, some important +aspects of the resulting <acronym>HTML</acronym> files may be specified via command +line options, and configuration files provide an even finer degree of control +over the final output, allowing most every aspect of the final output not +specified in the Texinfo input file to be specified. Configuration files are +written in <code>perl</code>, like the main program, and anything which may be +specified on the command line may also be specified within a configuration +file. +</p> +<p>For an example of the kind of pages <code>texi2html</code> is capable of +producing, have a look at the following sites: +<a href="http://www.singular.uni-kl.de/Manual/html/">the Singular Manual</a>, +<a href="http://ccvs.cvshome.org/docs/manual">the Cederqvist (CVS Manual)</a>. +</p> +<table class="menu" border="0" cellspacing="0"> +<tr><td align="left" valign="top"><a href="#SEC2">1.1 Why <code>texi2html</code> and not <code>makeinfo</code>?</a></td><td> </td><td align="left" valign="top"></td></tr> +</table> + +<hr size="6"> +<a name="whytexi2html"></a> +<a name="SEC2"></a> +<table cellpadding="1" cellspacing="1" border="0"> +<tr><td valign="middle" align="left">[<a href="#SEC1" title="Previous section in reading order"> < </a>]</td> +<td valign="middle" align="left">[<a href="#SEC3" title="Next section in reading order"> > </a>]</td> +<td valign="middle" align="left"> </td> +<td valign="middle" align="left">[<a href="#SEC1" title="Beginning of this chapter or previous chapter"> << </a>]</td> +<td valign="middle" align="left">[<a href="#SEC1" title="Up section"> Up </a>]</td> +<td valign="middle" align="left">[<a href="#SEC3" title="Next chapter"> >> </a>]</td> +<td valign="middle" align="left"> </td> +<td valign="middle" align="left"> </td> +<td valign="middle" align="left"> </td> +<td valign="middle" align="left"> </td> +<td valign="middle" align="left">[<a href="#SEC_Top" title="Cover (top) of document">Top</a>]</td> +<td valign="middle" align="left">[<a href="#SEC_Contents" title="Table of contents">Contents</a>]</td> +<td valign="middle" align="left">[<a href="#SEC87" title="Index">Index</a>]</td> +<td valign="middle" align="left">[<a href="#SEC_About" title="About (help)"> ? </a>]</td> +</tr></table> +<h2 class="section"> 1.1 Why <code>texi2html</code> and not <code>makeinfo</code>? </h2> + + +<p>You would like to produce <acronym>HTML</acronym> files from your existing Texinfo +files? There are two programs you can use to do this. The first is +<code>makeinfo</code> (see <a href="texinfo.html#Generating-HTML">(texinfo)Generating HTML</a>). +The second is <code>texi2html</code>. +</p> +<p>The design goal of <code>makeinfo</code>'s <acronym>HTML</acronym> output was to produce +readable <acronym>HTML</acronym> output. It is now possible to use <acronym>CSS</acronym> +for <acronym>HTML</acronym> customization. Another possibility is to use intermediate +formats, like docbook or <code>mekeinfo</code> <acronym>XML</acronym> +and <acronym>XSL</acronym> stylesheets to customize the resulting document. Still the +output produced by <code>makeinfo</code> isn't customizable. +</p> +<p>The current development of <code>texi2html</code> tries to +provide for producing the more interesting and sophisticated <acronym>HTML</acronym> +pages that today's Internet users have come to expect. +The goal behind <code>texi2html</code> is to generate attractive <acronym>HTML</acronym> by +default but also to allow users considerable freedom to affect the final +style and design of the output <acronym>HTML</acronym> pages. This is achieved via +command line options and flexible configuration files. +</p> + +<p>In contrast to the <acronym>HTML</acronym> produced by <code>makeinfo --html</code> (the +<code>makeinfo</code> program is part of the Texinfo distribution), the +<code>texi2html</code> program, among other differences, allows for the +customization of the entire page layout, including headers, footers, style +sheets, etc., allows for customization of the low level <acronym>HTML</acronym> +formatting, provides for splitting documents at various levels, and provides +for using the <code>latex2html</code> program to convert <code>@tex</code> sections of +the Texinfo source. +</p> +<p>The focus on <acronym>HTML</acronym> is still present but with the help of the +customization files it is now possible to use <code>texi2html</code> to +produce other formats as well. <code>texi2html</code> may for example be +turned into a texinfo to roff translator with the help of a customization file +provided with the distribution. +</p> +<p><code>texi2html</code> should reasonably convert all Texinfo +4.8 constructs.

To make the documentation run <code>make</code>. +</p> +<p><code>make install</code> performs the installation to the locations specified to +the <code>./configure</code> script.
