NAME

6       texi2html - a Texinfo to HTML converter
7

SYNOPSIS

9       texi2html [options] file
10

DESCRIPTION

12       Texi2html  converts  the  given Texinfo file to a set of HTML files. It
13       tries to handle most of the  Texinfo  commands.  It  creates  hypertext
14       links for cross-references, footnotes...
15
16       Texi2html  may furthermore use latex2html to generate HTML (code and/or
17       images) for @math and @iftex tags (see the --l2h option).
18
19       Texi2html creates several files depending on the contents of  the  Tex‐
20       info file and on the chosen options (see FILES).
21
22       The  HTML  files created by texi2html are in general closer to TeX than
23       to Info. Using init files (see the --init-file option), other styles or
24       output formats may be selected.
25

OPTIONS

27       Options may be abbreviated to th shortests unique prefix. The following
28       is only an incomplete list of the available options:
29
30       --help [1|2]
31                   Print usage instructions and list the most  important,  all
32                   relevant,  or  all recognised (including obsolete) command-
33                   line options, and exit.
34
35       --split chapter|section|node
36                   Split the output into several  HTML  files  (one  per  main
37                   chapter/section or node).
38
39       --ifinfo --iftex --ifxml --ifplaintext --ifhtml
40                   Expand @ifinfo, @iftex and @tex, @ifxml and @xml, @ifplain‐
41                   text, @ifhtml and @html regions, and  don't  expand  @ifnot
42                   corresponding regions (default: ifhtml).
43
44       --no-ifinfo --no-iftex --no-ifxml --no-ifplaintext --no-html
45                   Don't  expand @ifinfo, @iftex, @ifxml, @ifplaintext regions

55                   must  be  such  that  both, latex and tex, can translate it

96                   vents caching!)
97
98       --l2h-skip  Do  not really run latex2html. Use (kept) files of previous
99                   runs, instead.

FILES

106       Initialisation options are read first from  /usr/share/texi2html/Config
107       (the  exact  location being changeable with the --datadir=dir option to
108       the configure script), then from /etc/texi2html/Config (the exact loca‐
109       tion being changeable with the --sysconfdir=dir option to the configure
110       script), then from ./Config, from $HOME/.texi2html/Config, and from any
111       command-line options including --init-file options; with later settings
112       overriding earlier ones.
113
114       By default texi2html my creates the following files (foo being the name
115       of the Texinfo file):
116
117       foo_toc.html    The table of contents (if @contents is present).
118
119       foo.html        The document's contents or the Top element.
120
121       foo_fot.html    The footnotes (if any).
122
123       foo_abt.html    An help section.
124
125       foo_l2h_img*    Images generated by latex2html (if any).
126
127       When  used  with  the --split option, it creates several files (one per
128       chapter or node), named foo_n.html (n being the index of the chapter or
129       node), and the foo.html file contains the Top element.
130
131       Otherwise it creates only one file: foo.html
