<h1 class="chapter"> 1. 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>.

<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.  If you find it does not, please send a bug report to the
<a href="mailto:users@texi2html.cvshome.org">users@texi2html.cvshome.org</a> email list.

<h1 class="chapter"> 3. Installation of <code>texi2html</code> </h1>

<p>To install <code>texi2html</code>, you must first obtain a copy of the
source distribution.  See section <a href="#SEC3">Obtaining <code>texi2html</code></a>.
</p>
<p><code>texi2html</code> also requires <code>perl</code> version 
5.004 or above.  The current version has not been tested
extensively on versions of <code>perl</code> below 5.6, however.
</p>
<p><code>texi2html</code> is a standard Automake-based distribution.
If you have a source version, you should run <code>./configure</code>
to regenerate the executable <tt>`texi2html'</tt> file.  <code>./configure</code>
accepts options to select the installation directory for the <tt>`texi2html'</tt>
file, the default directories <code>texi2html</code> will use to look for
configuration files, and other details.  Run <code>./configure --help</code> for
more information.
</p>
<p>Running <code>./configure</code> combines four files into the final
<tt>`texi2html'</tt> program file:
</p><ul class="toc">
<li> <tt>`texi2html.pl'</tt> contains the base program,
</li><li> <tt>`MySimple.pm'</tt> handles the command line options, 
</li><li> <tt>`texi2html.init'</tt> is the default configuration file, and 
</li><li> <tt>`T2h_i18n.pm'</tt> is used for internationalization.
</li><li> <tt>`translations.pl'</tt> contains the translations of the strings used in
documents.
</li></ul>

<p>Running <code>./configure</code> also builds the <code>make</code> configuration
files (<tt>`Makefile'</tt>s).  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.  This usually involves placing the actual
<tt>`texi2html'</tt> file someplace in your path, such as <tt>`/usr/local/bin'</tt> or
<tt>`/usr/bin'</tt>.
</p>
<p>Installing <code>texi2html</code> in your path should be sufficient 
to run it.  To use default initialization files, or a configuration file for
LaTeX2HTML when using <code>latex2html</code> to convert <code>@tex</code> sections
(see section <a href="#SEC12">Expanding <code>@tex</code> and <code>@math</code> regions using LaTeX2HTML</a>), install them in the package data directory
specified to configure.  This is <tt>`/usr/local/share/texi2html/'</tt> by default,
but depends on the value of the <a name="IDX1"></a>
<samp>`--pkgdatadir=<var>dir</var>'</samp> option passed to
the <code>./configure</code> script. Files used for strings customization and
internationalization are also searched for in the <tt>`i18n'</tt> directory
of this directory. See section <a href="#SEC13">Use initialization files for fine tuning</a> for more.

<h1 class="chapter"> 4. Invoking <code>texi2html</code> </h1>

<p>To produce an <acronym>HTML</acronym> manual, run <code>texi2html</code> with a Texinfo
file as an argument.  For example, this manual is created with:
</p>
<table><tr><td>&nbsp;</td><td><pre class="example">$ texi2html texi2html.texi
</pre></td></tr></table>
<p>The behaviour of <code>texi2html</code> may be changed with command line
options.  These command line options are always associated with corresponding
<code>perl</code> variables which may appear in init files, and these 
variables are presented in this chapter each time a switch is described. 
</p>
<p>Boolean command line switches always have a corresponding negated switch,
obtained by prepending <samp>`no'</samp> or <samp>`no-'</samp> to the switch name. For example
<a name="IDX2"></a>
<samp>`--nomenu'</samp> does the reverse of <a name="IDX3"></a>
<samp>`--menu'</samp>.

<h2 class="section"> 4.1 Specifying where to split the generated document </h2>

<p>The <acronym>HTML</acronym> manual resulting from the processing of the Texinfo source
may be split into files at different levels.  This is specified with the
option <a name="IDX4"></a>
<samp>`--split'</samp> which takes an argument, namely the level of splitting
(variable: <a name="IDX5"></a>
<code>$SPLIT</code>). This level may be: 
</p>
<dl compact="compact">
<dt> <samp>`chapter'</samp></dt>
<dd><p>The document is split at <code>@chapter</code>, <code>@appendix</code>, or <code>@unnumbered</code>.
</p></dd>
<dt> <samp>`section'</samp></dt>
<dd><p>The document is split at the same places as it is using the <samp>`chapter'</samp>
argument, and also at <code>@section</code>, <code>@appendixsec</code> or
<code>@unnumberedsec</code>.
</p></dd>
<dt> <samp>`node'</samp></dt>
<dd><p>The document is split at every sectioning command.  It is not necessarily 
split at each node, if the <code>@node</code> structure doesn't correspond with
the sectioning command structure (see below).
</p></dd>
<dt> <samp>`none'</samp></dt>
<dd><p>The document isn't split.  This is the default.
</p></dd>
</dl>

<p>There are two kinds of commands which may be used to define sectioning
elements in Texinfo: <code>@node</code> and the structuring commands (<code>@top</code>,
<code>@section</code>, <code>@appendixsubsec</code>,  and so on).  A node just preceding
a structuring command is considered to be part of the same sectioning element
as that command.  If the <code>@node Top</code> isn't associated with a structuring
command it also defines a sectioning element.
</p>
<p>By default, nodes which aren't associated with a structuring command are not
considered to be sectioning commands.  They are always considered to be part
of a sectioning element defined by a structuring command.  It is possible to
change this behaviour via the <a name="IDX6"></a>
<samp>`--use-nodes'</samp> option (variable
<a name="IDX7"></a>
<code>$USE_NODES</code>).  In this case, nodes not associated with structuring
commands are also considered to be sectioning commands defining a sectioning
element. 
</p>
<p>This default behaviour mimics <code>texi2dvi</code> behaviour, which ignores 
<code>@node</code> commands for the purprose of sectioning, while the second
looks like <code>makeinfo</code> behaviour (see <a href="texinfo.html#Two-Paths">(texinfo)Two Paths</a>). 
</p>
<p>As an illustration, the following table shows how a sample Texinfo document is
divided into sectioning elements when <a name="IDX8"></a>
<samp>`--use-nodes'</samp> is used and not:

<h2 class="section"> 4.2 Setting output file and directory names </h2>

<p>The manual name is constructed by stripping the <samp>`.texi'</samp>,
<samp>`.txi'</samp>, <samp>`.texinfo'</samp>, or <samp>`.txinfo'</samp> extension from the Texinfo file
name. 
</p>
<p>By default, <code>texi2html</code> generates the manual file in the current 
directory if the manual isn't split. A <samp>`.html'</samp> file extension is appended
to the manual name.
</p>
<p>If the manual is split the files are put in a directory named after the
manual name. The file name is constructed using the manual name as basename.
An underscore followed by a number is appended
to the basename for each files corresponding with sectioning elements, with the
exception of the top element. For the top element there nothing appended.
The files containing special elements pages
have an underscore and a 3 letter code corresponding to their content
(<samp>`toc'</samp> for table of contents, <samp>`abt'</samp> for about, <samp>`ovr'</samp> for
overview) appended.  Lastly, an <samp>`.html'</samp> file extension is appended.
</p>
<p>Thus, if the texinfo file <tt>`afile.texi'</tt> is processed and split at chapters
into 3 files, the generated files (in directory <tt>`afile'</tt>) will be:
</p>
<table><tr><td>&nbsp;</td><td><pre class="example">afile.html         --&gt; <code>@node Top</code> or <code>@top</code> section
afile_1.html       --&gt; Chapter 1
afile_2.html       --&gt; Chapter 2
afile_toc.html     --&gt; Table of Contents
afile_abt.html     --&gt; About Page
</pre></td></tr></table>
<p>This default behavior may be modified by several command line options. If the
output isn't split, the prefix file name may be overrided by the
<a name="IDX10"></a>
<samp>`--output'</samp> command line option (variable <a name="IDX11"></a>
<code>$OUT</code>). If the output
is split, and <a name="IDX12"></a>
<samp>`--output'</samp> is set, the files are placed in the directory
specified by the argument to the option.
</p>
<p>The basename may be overridden with <a name="IDX13"></a>
<samp>`--prefix'</samp> (variable
<a name="IDX14"></a>
<code>$PREFIX</code>).  If <a name="IDX15"></a>
<samp>`--short-ext'</samp> is given, <samp>`.htm'</samp> is appended
instead of <samp>`.html'</samp> in the final step (variable <a name="IDX16"></a>
<code>$SHORTEXTN</code>).  
The <a name="IDX17"></a>
<samp>`--top-file'</samp> option
overrides the top element file name (variable <a name="IDX18"></a>
<code>$TOP_FILE</code>).  This can
be used to name the top element file <samp>`index.html'</samp>.  Similarly,
<a name="IDX19"></a>
<samp>`--toc-file'</samp> changes the name of the table of contents file (variable
<a name="IDX20"></a>
<code>$TOC_FILE</code>).
</p>
<p>Reusing the example above, but this time calling <code>texi2html</code> like so:
</p>
<table><tr><td>&nbsp;</td><td><pre class="example">$ texi2html -split chapter -prefix manual -short-ext -top-file index.htm -toc-file contents.htm afile.texi
</pre></td></tr></table>
<p>we get, in <tt>`manual'</tt>:
</p>
<table><tr><td>&nbsp;</td><td><pre class="example">index.htm          --&gt; <code>@node Top</code> or <code>@top</code> section
manual_1.htm       --&gt; Chapter 1
manual_2.htm       --&gt; Chapter 2
contents.htm       --&gt; Table of Contents
manual_abt.htm     --&gt; About Page
</pre></td></tr></table>
<p>The file names generated by <code>texi2html</code> differ from those generated
by <code>makeinfo</code>. <code>makeinfo</code> uses the node name to construct
the file names while splitting at nodes.  It is possible to get the same
behaviour out of <code>texi2html</code> by specifying the
<a name="IDX21"></a>
<samp>`--node-files'</samp> option (variable <a name="IDX22"></a>
<code>$NODE_FILES</code>).  If the output
isn't split at nodes, <code>texi2html</code> will still output files named after
the nodes, without real content but redirecting to the right file.
The default is false for this option.
This trick enables the generated <acronym>HTML</acronym> manual to be a
target for the cross-references of other manuals generated by
<code>makeinfo</code> or <code>texi2html</code>.

<code>@html</code>, and <code>@menu</code> regions, all the <code>@ifnot</code> regions 
except <code>@ifnothtml</code>, and no other <code>@if</code> regions.
</p>
<p>It is possible to expand other regions by setting <a name="IDX23"></a>

example, <samp>`--iftex'</samp>).  Symetrically, if <a name="IDX24"></a>

specified, the <samp>`&lt;region&gt;'</samp> region is ignored.  The configuration file
array, <a name="IDX25"></a>
<code>@EXPAND</code>, holds the names of regions which should be 
expanded. The only region name present in <code>@EXPAND</code> in the default case 
is <samp>`html'</samp>.

<p>If <a name="IDX26"></a>

<h2 class="section"> 4.7 Expanding <code>@tex</code> and <code>@math</code> regions using LaTeX2HTML </h2>

<p>It is possible to use <a href="http://www.latex2html.org/">LaTeX2HTML</a>  
to process <code>@tex</code> regions and <code>@math{}</code> commands.  This is an
attractive way to display mathematical constructs in the <acronym>HTML</acronym>
manual.  The <a name="IDX61"></a>
<samp>`--l2h'</samp> option activates this feature (variable
<var>$L2H</var>).  It is usually desirable to expand <code>@tex</code> sections when this
option is specified (see section <a href="#SEC8">Specifying which regions get expanded</a>). The default is not to use this
feature.
</p>
<p>The <a name="IDX62"></a>
<samp>`--l2h-l2h=<var>program</var>'</samp> option enables changing the name/location
of the LaTeX2HTML program processing TeX regions (variable
<a name="IDX63"></a>
<code>$L2H_L2H</code>). The default is <code>latex2html</code>.
</p>
<a name="IDX64"></a>
<p><samp>`--l2h-tmp'</samp> sets the directory used for temporary
files, this name shouldn't contain a dot <samp>`.'</samp>
(variable is <a name="IDX65"></a>
<code>$L2H_TMP</code>). Defaults to the current dir.
</p>
<p>The file specified by <a name="IDX66"></a>
<samp>`--l2h-file'</samp> is
used as LaTeX2HTML init file. It is searched at the same places than
init files (see section <a href="#SEC13">Use initialization files for fine tuning</a>), and the default is <tt>`l2h.init'</tt>.

<h1 class="chapter"> 5. Overview of initialization files content and loading </h1>

<p>The initialization files are <code>perl</code> files, read as explained 
in <a href="#SEC13">Use initialization files for fine tuning</a>. You don't need to know much of <code>perl</code>
to do some simple changes in variable values, however, to be able to 
really take advantage of all the features of the initialization file,
a good knowledge of <code>perl</code> is required.
</p>
<p>In initialization file two kind of variables appear. These are normal
variables (including arrays and hashes) and references on functions. 
The later permits the dynamic redefinition of functions used to produce
the <acronym>HTML</acronym> manual. You should be able to change the value of some  
normal variables without a deep knowledge of <code>perl</code>, by looking
at the existing examples. The possible mistakes in that case could be
omitted <samp>`;'</samp>, and bad quoting.
</p>
<p>Initialization file are loaded from the main program by
the mean of a <code>require</code>, while in the <code>Texi2HTML::Config</code>
namespace. This means that the namespace of the main program and
the namespace of inititalization files are distinct, which ensures
that no name clash should happen. The variables are declared with the
<code>our</code> specifier, such that it should be possible to use the 
<code>use strict</code> pragma in the initialization file code.
</p>
<p>To avoid messing with the variables in the <code>main</code> namespace
all the global variables which could be of use in the init files 
are in the <code>Texi2HTML</code> namespace. Notice that the functions 
of the main program are still in the <code>main</code> namespace.

<h2 class="section"> 5.1 Redefining functions in initialization files </h2>

<p>To redefine a function you must replace the corresponding funtion
reference with a reference on your function. 
Thus you should write your function, give it a name you
are certain it is unique in the <code>Texi2HTML::Config</code> namespace,
and override the value of the function reference with your own 
function reference. When another function from the main program
(or from another functions of an initialization file) calls the reference,
your function will be used. 
</p>
<p>For example the function
reference corresponding with the function called when doing an
anchor is called <a name="IDX73"></a>
<code>$anchor</code>. Thus if you want to override the
corresponding function
you could write:
</p>
<table><tr><td>&nbsp;</td><td><pre class="example"># override the function reference
$anchor = \&amp;my_own_function;

# the function reference now refers to
sub my_own_function {
# process arguments and return an html anchor
}

<h2 class="section"> 5.2 Conventions used for function prototypes </h2>

<p>As the functions are defined by a reference name, we will always
use the reference name in function prototypes. For the function arguments
we will use <code>\@array</code> for a reference on an array and similarly 
<code>\%hash</code> for a reference on a hash.
</p>
<p>Thus, the prototype for the function associated with the function
reference <samp>`$formatting_function'</samp> will be:
</p>
<dl>
<dt><u>Function Reference:</u> $text <b>formatting_function</b><i> $arg1 \@arg2</i>
<a name="IDX74"></a>
</dt>
<dd><p><code>formatting_function</code> takes as first argument <var>$arg2</var>,
as second argument a reference on an array <var>\@arg2</var>
and returns the formatted text <var>$text</var>.
</p></dd></dl>

<p>To redefined the corresponding function, you should write:
</p>
<table><tr><td>&nbsp;</td><td><pre class="example">$formatting_function = \&amp;my_formatting_function

sub my_formatting_function($ $)
{
    my $arg1 = shift;
    my $arg2 = shift;

<p>There are 19 items associated with elements. Each of these
is associated with a name and a reference to the 
element they represent, when such an element exists. 
The element is either a global element or an element relative to the current
element. The relative elements are found with respect with the document
structure defined by the section structuring commands (<code>@chapter</code>, 
<code>@unnumbered</code>&hellip;) or by the nodes (in that case the node 
directions are specified on node line or in menu organization).
These items are called <em>element labels</em>. They may be associated with 
a button (see section <a href="#SEC23">Specifying the buttons formatting</a>), and used in the formatting functions 
(see section <a href="#SEC25">Main program variables and usefull functions</a>).

<h3 class="subsection"> 6.3.2 Specifying the buttons formatting </h3>

<p>Several arrays and hashes enable a precise control on the buttons and 
their display. 
The following arrays determine the buttons present in navigation panels:
</p>
<dl compact="compact">
<dt> <code>@SECTION_BUTTONS</code>
<a name="IDX84"></a>
</dt>
<dd><p>This array is used for the navigation panel buttons present at the begining
of sectioning elements. If split at node or section they are also used 
at the page footer, and in the case of section navigation at the page header.
</p></dd>
<dt> <code>@SECTION_FOOTER_BUTTONS</code>
<a name="IDX85"></a>
</dt>
<dt> <code>@NODE_FOOTER_BUTTONS</code>
<a name="IDX86"></a>
</dt>
<dd><p>This array is used for the navigation panel buttons present at the footer
of pages when split at node or at section. 
</p>
<p>If <a name="IDX87"></a>
<code>$WORDS_IN_PAGE</code> is set and the output is split at nodes, these 
buttons are only present if there are more than <a name="IDX88"></a>
<code>$WORDS_IN_PAGE</code>
words in the sectioning element text. This counting is very rough and include
punctuation marks, html elements, numbers.  The default is to include the
buttons after 300 words.
</p></dd>
<dt> <code>@CHAPTER_BUTTONS</code>
<a name="IDX89"></a>
</dt>
<dd><p>This array is used for the buttons appearing at the page footer if split at 
chapter, and at the page header if split at chapter and there is no section
navigation.
</p></dd>
<dt> <code>@MISC_BUTTONS</code>
<a name="IDX90"></a>
</dt>
<dd><p>These buttons appear at the beginning of special and sections  
and at the end of these section pages if the output is split.
</p></dd>
</dl>

<p>The array specify the buttons displayed in navigation panels, 
and how the button is displayed.
Each element is associated with
a button of the navigation panel from left to right.
The signification of the array element value is the following:
</p>
<dl compact="compact">
<dt> <em>reference on a function</em></dt>
<dd><p>The function is called with first argument a filehandle reference on the
current file and second argument a boolean true if the navigation 
panel should be vertical.
</p></dd>
<dt> <em>reference on a scalar</em></dt>
<dd><p>The scalar value is printed. For some possibly
usefull scalars, <a href="#SEC26">Accessing elements informations</a>.
</p></dd>
<dt> <em>reference on an array</em></dt>
<dd><p>In this case the first array element should be a reference on text and the 
second element an element label. In that case a link to the 
element associated with the element label with the scalar value
text is generated.
</p>
<p>For example if the buttons array element is
</p><table><tr><td>&nbsp;</td><td><pre class="example">[ 'Next', \$Texi2HTML::NODE{Next} ] 
</pre></td></tr></table>
<p>The button will be a link to the next section with text 
<a name="IDX91"></a>
<code>$Texi2HTML::NODE{Next}</code>.
</p></dd>
<dt> <em>element label</em></dt>
<dd><p>If icons are not used, the button is a link to the corresponding
element which text is defined by the value associated with the 
element label in the <a name="IDX92"></a>
<code>%NAVIGATION_TEXT</code> hash, surrounded
by <samp>`['</samp> and <samp>`]'</samp>. If the element label is <samp>` '</samp>, there is
no <samp>`['</samp> and <samp>`]'</samp>. 
The element of the <code>%NAVIGATION_TEXT</code> hash are defined 
dynamically, in the <code>init_out</code> function reference
(see section <a href="#SEC32">Preparing the output</a>).
</p>
<p>If icons are used, the button is an image with file determined by
the value associated with the element label in the <a name="IDX93"></a>
<code>%ACTIVE_ICONS</code>
hash if the the link really leads to an element, or in the <a name="IDX94"></a>
<code>%PASSIVE_ICONS</code>
hash if there is no element to link to. Of course if there is a link to the 
element the icon links to that element.

<h2 class="section"> 6.5 Preparing the output </h2>

<p>After the texinfo file has been parsed, some information is available
which can be used to modify some variables and prepare the outputting.
For example the document language, the document encoding, 
values set with <code>@set</code> or <code>@setfilename</code> and other similar 
@-commands are not known before the texinfo parsing. 
</p>
<p>The following function reference may be redefined to be called after 
texinfo processing and before document generation:
</p>
<dl>
<dt><u>Function Reference:</u> $encoding <b>init_out</b>
<a name="IDX110"></a>
</dt>
<dd><p>This function perform the initialization of variables and any other
task before document outputting. It returns the encoding used for the
output files.
</p></dd></dl>

<p>In the default case the <a name="IDX111"></a>
<code>$BODYTEXT</code> (see section <a href="#SEC35">Customizing the page header</a>) 
and the hashes <a name="IDX112"></a>
<code>%NAVIGATION_TEXT</code> (see section <a href="#SEC23">Specifying the buttons formatting</a>) and  
<a name="IDX113"></a>
<code>%BUTTONS_GOTO</code> (see section <a href="#SEC43">Formatting of about text</a>) are initialized.
</p>
<p>To perform the default initializations and also add more code, you could
do as in the following example (save the default function reference and call 
it in your own function) :
</p>
<table><tr><td>&nbsp;</td><td><pre class="example">my $default_init_out = $init_out;

<p>It is possible to add lines to the text within the <code>&lt;head&gt;</code> 
<acronym>HTML</acronym> elements, by defining the variable <a name="IDX122"></a>
<code>$EXTRA_HEAD</code>.
Similarly it is possible to add text just after the <code>&lt;body&gt;</code> 
element with the variable <a name="IDX123"></a>
<code>$AFTER_BODY_OPEN</code>.
These variables are empty by default.
</p>
<p>The encoding of the texinfo file is defined by <a name="IDX124"></a>
<code>$DOCUMENT_ENCODING</code> 
if no <code>@documentencoding</code> appears in the document. 
The default is a <samp>`en-ascii'</samp> encoding.
The encoding of the resulting document is defined by
<a name="IDX125"></a>
<code>$ENCODING</code>. The default is the <code>$DOCUMENT_ENCODING</code>.
</p>
<p>The description of the document may be specified in 
<a name="IDX126"></a>
<code>$DOCUMENT_DESCRIPTION</code>. If this variable is undef, the text 
associated with <code>@documentdescription</code> is used, and if there isn't 
such test a default description is constructed using the document title and 
the name of the first section of the file. 
</p>
<p>The <code>&lt;body&gt;</code> element attributes may be set by defining the
variable <a name="IDX127"></a>
<code>$BODYTEXT</code>. If you want to define that variable
dynamically, you should use the <code>init_out</code> function reference

<h2 class="section"> 7.1 Three contexts for expansions: preformatted, normal and string </h2>

<p>There are three contexts of interest, one is the normal context, the other
is a special context, called the <em>preformatted</em> context and the last is
the string context. The preformatted
context occurs when the spacing between words is kept. This is the
case, for example, in <code>@display</code> or <code>@example</code> regions, and in 
menu comments (see section <a href="#SEC73">Menu formatting</a>). The preformatted regions are usually
rendered in <code>&lt;pre&gt;</code> elements in <acronym>HTML</acronym>.
The string context occurs when rendering strings without formatting elements,
in comments or titles for example.

<h2 class="section"> 7.2 Customizing the formatting of commands without argument </h2>

<p>This includes the commands whose name is a nonletter character like <code>@@</code>, 
the commands with lettered characters and braces
but whose braces should be empty, like <code>@TeX{}</code>, or some commands
associated with accentted letters like <code>@AA{}</code>. If there happens to
be something within the braces, it is put after the command, thus
</p><table><tr><td>&nbsp;</td><td><pre class="example">@TeX{something}
</pre></td></tr></table><p>leads to the same than
</p><table><tr><td>&nbsp;</td><td><pre class="example">@TeX{} something
</pre></td></tr></table>
<p>Each of these categories of commands have three associated hashes, one 
for normal
context, the other for preformatted context and the last in strings. The 
keys of the hashes are the 
command names, the associated value is the text replacing the command.
</p>
<p>The hashes are:
</p><table>

<h2 class="section"> 7.3 Customizing accent, style and other simple commands </h2>

<p>The formatting of the <acronym>HTML</acronym> produced by style and indicatric 
commands (<code>@tt</code>, <code>@code</code>, 
<code>@email</code>, <code>@titlefont</code>), the accentuation related
commands taking argument (<code>@'</code>, <code>@udotaccent</code>, <code>@dotless</code>)
and miscalleneous commands (<code>@email</code>, <code>@verb</code>, <code>@w</code>, 
<code>@uref</code>, <code>@math</code>, <code>@asis</code>) is controlled by two hash in the
default case, 
<a name="IDX189"></a>
<code>%style_map</code> for normal context, <a name="IDX190"></a>
<code>%style_map_pre</code> for
preformatted context and <a name="IDX191"></a>
<code>%style_map_texi</code> in string context. 
</p>
<p>The key of the hashes are the command names. There are two possibilities for
the values corresponding with two interfaces. The values may be strings or 
hash references, and you can chose the interface depending on the one you 
prefer. The interface with hash reference is a bit more flexible but might also
be regarded as more complex. If you don't like either of these interfaces you
can define your own.
</p>
<p>Some remarks are in order:
</p>
<ul class="toc">
<li> 
The nonlettered accent commands which following character is considered
to be the argument (like in <code>@`a</code>) should be keys of the
hash <a name="IDX192"></a>
<code>%accent_map</code> hash, even if no value is associated.
</li><li>
<code>@math</code> is handled differently if LaTeX2HTML is used.

<h3 class="subsection"> 7.3.1 An interface for commands formatting with a hash reference </h3>

<p>The key of the hashes are the command names. The value determine how the command argument
is formatted. This value is a reference on a hash. In this hash each key 
corresponds with a type of information for the formatting, and the value is 
the corresponding information. For example, in 
</p>
<table><tr><td>&nbsp;</td><td><pre class="example">$style_map{'command'} = { 'args' =&gt; ['code'], 'attribute' =&gt; 'code'};
</pre></td></tr></table>
<p>the arguments for <code>@command</code> are interpreted as specified by 
the values associated with the <samp>`args'</samp> key while the attribute associated 
with that command is <samp>`code'</samp>.
</p>
<p>The following keys in the hashes associated with each command have the
following meaning:
</p>
<dl compact="compact">
<dt> <samp>`args'</samp></dt>
<dd><p><a name="Reference-hash-args"></a>
The value associated is a reference on an array. Each element of the array
defines how the arguments (separated by <samp>`,'</samp> in the texinfo code) for 
the @-command should be 
formatted. The possibilities are 
</p><dl compact="compact">
<dt> <code>normal</code></dt>
<dd><p>for normal text,
</p></dd>
<dt> <code>code</code></dt>
<dd><p>for text with <samp>`---'</samp>, <samp>`--'</samp>, <samp>`'''</samp> and  <samp>```'</samp> kept as is,
</p></dd>
<dt> <code>keep</code></dt>
<dd><p>if the texinfo should be kept as is, without interpretation of the @-commands.
</p></dd>
</dl>

<p>For example, we have
</p><table><tr><td>&nbsp;</td><td><pre class="example">$style_map{'email'}-&gt;{'args'} = ['code', 'normal'];
</pre></td></tr></table>
<p>because <samp>`---'</samp>, <samp>`--'</samp>, <samp>`'''</samp> and  <samp>```'</samp> should be kept as is in
the first argument of <code>@email</code>.
</p>
<p>The default is <samp>`['normal']'</samp>.
</p>
</dd>
<dt> <samp>`attribute'</samp></dt>
<dd>
<p>If the associated value is a word, it is considered to be an <acronym>HTML</acronym> 
element name, and the argument is enclosed between the element opening
and the element closing. For example, if the value is <code>elem</code>, the
resulting <acronym>HTML</acronym> is <code>&lt;elem&gt;<var>arg</var>&lt;/elem&gt;</code>.
</p>
<p>If the text is a word followed by some text,
the word and is interpreted as above, and the
text is considered to be the attributes text of the element. 
Thus <code>elem class=&quot;elem&quot;</code> leads to 
<code>&lt;elem class=&quot;elem&quot;&gt;<var>arg</var>&lt;/elem&gt;</code>.
</p>
<p>This works only if there is only one argument.
</p>
</dd>
<dt> <samp>`begin'</samp></dt>
<dd>
<p>The associated value is added in front of the text.
</p>
</dd>
<dt> <samp>`begin'</samp></dt>
<dd>
<p>The associated value is added after the text. 
</p>
</dd>
<dt> <samp>`quotes'</samp></dt>

<code>$CLOSE_QUOTE_SYMBOL</code>, with defaults 
<samp>``'</samp> and <samp>`''</samp>.

<dl compact="compact">
<dt> <code>$command</code></dt>
<dd><p>The @-command name
</p></dd>
<dt> <code>$args</code></dt>
<dd><p>A reference on an array containing the arguments of the @-command.

The <var>$href</var> argument specifies a hpertextual reference which should be
used to link to a target.
In case both <var>$identifier</var> and  <var>$href</var> are given the text produced
should be both a target for <var>$identifier</var> and a link to <var>$href</var>.
<var>$text</var> is the text to be displayed. 
<var>$attributes</var> are additional attributes.
It should be reasonable to assume that the attributes are for a <code>&lt;a&gt;</code>
<acronym>HTML</acronym> element.

<h2 class="section"> 7.6 Customizing strings written by <code>texi2html</code> </h2>


<p><code>texi2html</code> writes some strings in the generated document at
various places, at the page footers, on the help page, for special 
section headings, buttons alt text and so on. These strings are
customizable. The string chosen depends on the language of the
document (set by <a name="IDX206"></a>
<samp>`--lang'</samp>, <a name="IDX207"></a>
<code>$LANG</code> or 
<code>@documentlanguage</code>). This is the basis for internationalization
as it allows for strings translations.
</p>
<p>The strings are found in a hash reference, <a name="IDX208"></a>
<code>$LANGUAGES</code>. 
Each key is a language code. The associated value is also a hash
reference. The key is an english string and the associated value
is the string replacing the english string, if present. For example,
we have
</p>
<table><tr><td>&nbsp;</td><td><pre class="example">$LANGUAGES-&gt;{'fr'} = {
              ' Up ' =&gt; 'Plus haut',
};
</pre></td></tr></table>
<p>It means that whenever the string <samp>`&nbsp;Up&nbsp;'</samp> is to be written
and the language is <samp>`fr'</samp>, <samp>`Plus haut'</samp> is written. It is possible
to customize the english strings by redefining the <samp>`en'</samp> language hash.
</p>
<p>When a string contains a <samp>`%'</samp> followed by <samp>`{'</samp> <var>name</var> <samp>`}'</samp>
it means that the string will be expanded by <code>texi2html</code>. For
example, if we have
</p>
<table><tr><td>&nbsp;</td><td><pre class="example">$LANGUAGES-&gt;{'fr'} = {
              'See %{node_file_href}' =&gt; 'Voir %{node_file_href}',
};
</pre></td></tr></table>
<p><samp>`%{node_file_href}'</samp> will be expanded to an href for a node in a 
file by <code>texi2html</code> in the string. A <samp>`%%'</samp> will be expanded
as <samp>`%'</samp>.
</p>

<h2 class="section"> 7.10 Formatting of complex formats (<code>@example</code>, <code>@display</code>&hellip;) </h2>


<p>Here we see how a whole complex format is formatted. For the formatting
of the text, see <a href="#SEC61">Formatting or not a paragraph or a preformatted region</a>.
</p>
<p>The formatting of the complex formats is ultimately controlled by a
function, however the default for this function uses a hash reference and 
changing the hash reference values should be enough in most cases. This
hash reference is called <a name="IDX217"></a>
<code>$complex_format_map</code>. It has a key for each
of the complex format commands (<code>example</code>, <code>smallexample</code>, 
<code>lisp</code>, <code>smalllisp</code>, <code>display</code>, <code>smalldisplay</code>, 
<code>format</code>, <code>smallformat</code>).
</p>
<p>The associated value is also a reference on a hash. The keys are <code>begin</code>
and <code>end</code>. An eval of <code>begin</code> should lead to the beginning of the
formatted <acronym>HTML</acronym>, an eval of <code>end</code> should lead to the end of the 
formatted <acronym>HTML</acronym>. The enclosed text will be formatted as described in
<a href="#SEC61">Formatting or not a paragraph or a preformatted region</a>, and the name of the complex
format will be available to the function formatting the text.
</p>
<p>If you aren't satisfied with this scheme, you can redefine the following
function reference for a better control over the complex format formatting:
</p>
<dl>
<dt><u>Function Reference:</u> $complex_format_text <b>complex_format</b><i> $format_name $preformatted_text</i>
<a name="IDX218"></a>

<dd><p><var>$format_name</var> is the complex format name, <var>$preformatted_text</var> is the

<h3 class="subsection"> 7.15.1 The structure of a menu </h3>

<p>In <code>texi2html</code>, a menu is considered to be composed of 2 parts, the
<em>menu entries</em> and the <em>menu comments</em>. Menu entries are further 
divided in an <em>entry link</em> and optionnaly an <em>entry description</em>.
The entry link consists in a node name and an optionnal  menu entry
name.
</p>
<p>A menu entry begins with <samp>`*'</samp> at the beginning of the line. It begins
with the entry link, followed by the description. The description spans until
the next menu entry, or some text begining at the first character of a line
or an empty line, not contained within a command block which begun in the 
description. An empty line or a line with text at the first character
starts a menu comment, which spans until the next menu entry.
</p>
<p>Here is an illustration of these rules:
</p>
<table><tr><td>&nbsp;</td><td><pre class="example">@menu
* node name: entry name.        description begins
   description continues
* another menu entry::

<p>In the default case, the name of the section corresponding with the 
node is used instead of the node name. If <a name="IDX241"></a>
<code>$NODE_NAME_IN_MENU</code> is 
true, however, node names are used. If <a name="IDX242"></a>
<code>$AVOID_MENU_REDUNDANCY</code>
is true and menu entry equal menu description the description isn't printed.
This is the default. Likewise, if node or section name equal entry name, 
do not print entry name.
</p>
<p>A symbol, <a name="IDX243"></a>
<code>$MENU_SYMBOL</code> is put at the beginning of menu entries
when the node name is used. The default is <samp>`&amp;bull;'</samp>.
If <a name="IDX244"></a>
<code>$UNNUMBERED_SYMBOL_IN_MENU</code> is true it is 
also put at the beginning of unnumbered section names. This is not
done by default.
</p>
<p>The menu comments are considered to be preformatted text. The style 
associated with this preformatted text is determined by 
<a name="IDX245"></a>
<code>$MENU_PRE_STYLE</code>. Default is <samp>`font-family: serif'</samp>.
The css class associated with menu comments is <code>menu-comments</code>.

<h3 class="subsection"> 7.16.2 Customizing the formatting of index lists </h3>

<p>The index entries are sorted alphabetically. A whole index list is 
considered to be composed of letter entries. A letter entry is composed
by all the index entries beginning with that letter. A letter may
be a non alphabetical character, but we call it letter here.
</p>
<p>An index summary appears at the beginning and at the end of an index list,
and should be used to jump directly to a letter entry. Indices lists
may be split across pages, thus the different letters may appear on different
files. The number of index entries appearing on each page is determined
by a variable <a name="IDX252"></a>
<code>$SPLIT_INDEX</code> if set. The default is to split
indices after 100 entries.
</p>
<p>The formatting of all these elements is controlled by the following
function references:
</p>
<dl compact="compact">
<dt> <em>formatting of a letter in a summary</em></dt>
<dd><dl>
<dt><u>Function Reference:</u> $letter <b>summary_letter</b><i> $letter $file $identifier</i>
<a name="IDX253"></a>
</dt>
<dd><p>This function is used to format a letter appearing in a summary, refering

<var>$letter</var> is the letter. <var>$file</var> is the file name where the letter

<h2 class="section"> 7.18 Customizing the footnotes formatting </h2>

<p>Each footnote is associated with a footnote entry. Several footnote entries
are grouped in a footnote section. When a footnote appears, two things must
be formatted: in the main text the place where the footnote appear
and the footnote text. 
</p>
<p>Two functions, with corresponding function references control the formatting
of the footnotes:
</p>
<dl>
<dt><u>Function Reference:</u> (\@lines $text_for_document) <b>foot_line_and_ref</b><i> $number_in_doc $number_in_page $footnote_id $place_id $document_file $footnote_file \@lines \%state</i>

</dt>
<dd><p><var>$number_in_doc</var> is the footnote number in the whole document, 
<var>$number_in_page</var> is the footnote number in the current page.
<var>$footnote_id</var> is an identifier for the footnote in the footnote text
which should be used to make target for references to that footnote,
while <var>$place_id</var> is an identifier for the location of the footnote
in the main document. Similarly, <var>$document_file</var> is the file name
of the file containing the text where the footnote appears in the main 
document, while <var>$footnote_file</var> is the file name of the file where 
the footnote text appears. 
</p>
<p><var>\@lines</var> is a reference on an array containing the footnote text
lines, allready formatted.
And <var>\%state</var> holds informations about the context at the footnote
place in the main document. As usual the most usefull entry is 
<code>preformatted</code> which is true if the footnote appears in a preformatted 
context. 
</p>
<p>This function returns a reference on an array, <var>\@lines</var> containing
the updated footnote text for the footnote entry, and <var>$text_for_document</var>,
the text appearing at the footnote place in the main document, linking
to the footnote entry.
</p></dd></dl>

<p>The following function is only used when footnotes are at the bottom
of a page and the document is split. 
For customization of the footnotes page in case they are on a separated 
page or section, <a href="#SEC44">Customizing the layout of the special pages</a>. For

<h2 class="section"> 7.19 Customizing other commands, and unknown commands </h2>



<p>Many commands without braces are available in texinfo, sometimes with
a specific syntax. For example we have <code>@sp</code>, <code>@noindent</code>,
<code>@documentlanguage</code>, <code>@oddheading</code>, <code>@headings</code>,
<code>@shortcontents</code>, <code>@shorttitlepage</code> or <code>@comment</code>. 
<code>texi2html</code> interprets
some of these commands and some functions or variables are used for
their formatting or to access their information.
In the default case, however, most of these constructs are ignored.
</p>
<p>It is possible to change how the things following these commands
on the line are handled, what is considered to be an arg for those
commands and it is also possible to keep them instead of discarding
them such that it is possible to handle them specially, with the
same function than the one used for unknown commands.
</p>
<p>Those special commands without braces are the key of a hash:
<a name="IDX267"></a>
<code>%misc_command</code>. The associated value is a reference on a
hash enabling to set the properties of these commands. The
keys of this hash reference is the name of a property, the value
is the value of the property. For example here we have <code>line</code>
for the <code>arg</code> property for the <code>command</code> @-command.
</p>
<table><tr><td>&nbsp;</td><td><pre class="example">$misc_command{'command'} = {'arg' =&gt; 'line', 'skip' =&gt; 'space'};

<p>The properties and possible values are:

<h2 class="appendixsec"> A.1 Translating strings </h2>


<p>If the language is allready supported, then there will be a file 
in the <tt>`i18n'</tt> directory with name the two-letter 
ISO-639 language code. In that case you can enhance the translations by 
editing this file. There is a <code>$LANGUAGES-&gt;{'<var>language</var>'}</code>
hash in that file. The keys are the english strings, in <code>''</code>, the 
values (in <code>''</code> after <code>=&gt;</code>) are the translations.
When a string contains a <samp>`%'</samp> followed by <samp>`{'</samp> <var>name</var> <samp>`}'</samp>
it means that the string will be expanded by <code>texi2html</code>. For
an example, see <a href="#SEC56">Customizing strings written by <code>texi2html</code></a>.
</p>
<p>After that you should run the command <code>./manage_i18n.pl all</code> in
the top directory, it should merge your file with the existing files in
<tt>`translations.pl'</tt>, which is incorporated to the <tt>`texi2html'</tt> script
by <code>./configure</code>.
</p>
<p>If the language isn't currently supported, copy the <tt>`en'</tt> file in 
<tt>`i18n'</tt> to a file with name the two-letter ISO-639 
language code of your language
 and then add your translations to the strings. You could also add your 
two-letter language code in the <tt>`manage_i18n.pl'</tt> file in the
<code>@known_languages</code> array. 
</p>
<p>After that you should similarly run the command 
<code>./manage_i18n.pl all</code> in
the top directory.
</p>
<p>Obsoleted strings are not removed from the files, they are still present
in the <code>$T2H_OBSOLETE_STRINGS-&gt;{'<var>language</var>'}</code> hash in case
the string is reused later.
</p>
<p>If you made change to strings specified in installed files
(see section <a href="#SEC4">Installation of <code>texi2html</code></a>)
you will have to reinstall them otherwise the installated files will 
take precedence (see section <a href="#SEC13">Use initialization files for fine tuning</a>).

<h2 class="appendixsec"> A.2 Adding new strings written to document </h2>


<p>If you need to write strings, for example the new string <var>a string</var> 
to the resulting document, call <code>&amp;$I('a string')</code>. Use simple quotes.
If you want to substitute a value in the string put 
<code>%{<var>string_value</var>}</code>, in the string, and give a second argument 
to <code>&amp;$I</code>, a hash reference with key <var>string_value</var> and value 
the what you want to substitute.
Here is an example:
</p>
<table><tr><td>&nbsp;</td><td><pre class="example">return &amp;$I('%{name} of %{class}', { 'name' =&gt; $name, 'class' =&gt; $class });
</pre></td></tr></table>
<p>In that case <code>%{name}</code> is substituted by <code>$name</code> in the translated
string.
</p>
<p>After that you should run the command <code>./manage_i18n.pl all</code> in the top
directory, it should add your new strings to all the files in the <tt>`i18n'</tt>
directory.
