When you refer to a file, please mention its own number, as -well as the version number of the Texinfo distribution. - -PLEASE REPORT BUGS TO: bug-texinfo@prep.ai.mit.edu - -Texinfo is a documentation system that uses a single source file to -produce both on-line information and printed output. This means that -instead of writing two different documents, one for the on-line help -or other on-line information and the other for a typeset manual or -other printed work, you need write only one document. When the work -is revised, you need revise only one document. You can read the -on-line information, known as an "Info file", with an Info -documentation-reading program. By convention, Texinfo source file -names end with a `.texi' or `.texinfo' extension. Texinfo is -described in the Texinfo manual (the file ./texinfo.texi). - -You can write and format Texinfo files into Info files within GNU Emacs, -and read them using the Emacs Info reader. If you do not have Emacs, -you can format Texinfo files into Info files using `makeinfo' and read -them using `info'. Use TeX, which is not included in this package (see -`How to Obtain TeX' in the Texinfo manual for information), to typeset -Texinfo files for printing. - -For instructions on compiling and installing info, makeinfo, texi2dvi, -and texindex, please read the file `INSTALL'. The Emacs Lisp files are -not installed by default; to install them, use `make install' in the -`emacs' subdirectory. The Info tree uses a file `dir' as its root node; -a sample `dir' file is included in the distribution, but not installed -anywhere. Use it or not as you like. - -This distribution includes (but is not limited to) the following files: - - README This file. - - INTRODUCTION This file tells you how to create - readable files from the Texinfo source - files in this distribution. - -Texinfo source files: - - texinfo.texi This manual describes Texinfo. It - tells how to use Texinfo to write - documentation, how to use Texinfo mode - in GNU Emacs, how to use TeX, - makeinfo, and the Emacs Lisp Texinfo - formatting commands. - - info.texi This manual tells you how to use - Info. This document comes as part of - GNU Emacs. If you do not have Emacs, - you can format this Texinfo source - file with makeinfo or TeX and then - read the resulting Info file with the - standalone Info reader that is part of - this distribution. - - info-stnd.texi This manual tells you how to use - the standalone GNU Info reader that is - included in this distribution as a C - source file, `info.c'. - - makeinfo.texi This manual tells you how to use - makeinfo. The same information is - contained in a chapter of the Texinfo - manual; it has been extracted here for - your convenience. - - -Printing related files: - - texinfo.tex This TeX definitions file tells - the TeX program how to typeset a - Texinfo file into a DVI file ready for - printing. - - texindex.c This file contains the source for - the `texindex' program that generates - sorted indices used by TeX when - typesetting a file for printing. - - texi2dvi This is a shell script for - producing an indexed DVI file using - TeX and texindex. Must be used if the - source document uses Texinfo @macros. - - -GNU Emacs related files: - - texinfmt.el This Emacs Lisp file provides the - functions that GNU Emacs uses to - format a Texinfo file into an Info - file. - - texinfo.el This file provides Texinfo mode - for GNU Emacs. - - texnfo-upd.el These files provides commands to - texnfo-tex.el help you write Texinfo files - makeinfo.el using GNU Emacs Texinfo mode. - - detexinfo.el This extra utility file contains functions - to remove Texinfo commands from a - Texinfo source file. - - info.el These are the standard GNU Emacs - informat.el Info reading and support files, - included here for your convenience. - - -Source files for standalone C programs: - - makeinfo.c This file contains the source for - the `makeinfo' program that you can - use to create an Info file from a - Texinfo file. - - info.c This file contains the source for - the `info' program that you can use to - view Info files on an ASCII terminal. - - getopt.c Various support files - getopt1.c - getopt.h - - -C Installation files: - - configure This file creates creates a Makefile - which in turn creates an `info' or - `makeinfo' executable, or a C sources - distribution. - - configure.in This is a template for creating - `configure' using m4 macros. - - Makefile.in This is a template for `configure' - to use to make a Makefile. - - -Other files: - - NEWS This contains a summary of new - features since the first edition - of Texinfo. - - info.1 This is a `man' page that briefly - describes the standalone `info' - program. - - fixfonts This is a shell script to install the - `lcircle10' TeX fonts as an alias for - the `circle10' fonts. In some older - TeX distributions the names are - different. - - tex3patch This handles a bug for version - 3.0 of TeX that does not occur in - more recent versions. |
