27 Mtools' texinfo doc
28
30 This manpage has been automatically generated from mtools's texinfo
31 documentation. However, this process is only approximative, and some
32 items, such as crossreferences, footnotes and indices are lost in this
33 translation process. Indeed, these items have no appropriate represen‐
34 tation in the manpage format. Moreover, not all information has been
35 translated into the manpage version. Thus I strongly advise you to use
36 the original texinfo doc. See the end of this manpage for instructions
37 how to view the texinfo doc.

39 * To generate a printable copy from the texinfo doc, run the fol‐
40 lowing commands:
41
42 ./configure; make dvi; dvips mtools.dvi

46 * To generate a html copy, run:
47
48 ./configure; make html
49
50 A premade html can be found at `http://www.gnu.org/soft‐
51 ware/mtools/manual/mtools.html'
52
53 * To generate an info copy (browsable using emacs' info mode),
54 run:
55
56 ./configure; make info

60 The texinfo doc looks most pretty when printed or as html. Indeed, in
61 the info version certain examples are difficult to read due to the
62 quoting conventions used in info.
