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

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

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

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