| .SH NAME |
| texi2dvi \- convert Texinfo documents to DVI or PDF |
| .SH SYNOPSIS |
| .B texi2dvi |
| [\fI\,OPTION\/\fR]... \fI\,FILE\/\fR... |
| .br |
| .B texi2pdf |
| [\fI\,OPTION\/\fR]... \fI\,FILE\/\fR... |

| .B pdftexi2dvi |
| [\fI\,OPTION\/\fR]... \fI\,FILE\/\fR... |
| .SH DESCRIPTION |
| Run each Texinfo or (La)TeX FILE through TeX in turn until all |
| cross\-references are resolved, building all indices. The directory |
| containing each FILE is searched for included files. The suffix of FILE |
| is used to determine its language ((La)TeX or Texinfo). To process |
| (e)plain TeX files, set the environment variable LATEX=tex. |
| .PP |
| In order to make texi2dvi a drop\-in replacement of TeX/LaTeX in AUC\-TeX, |
| the FILE may also be composed of the following simple TeX commands. |
| .TP |
| `\einput{FILE}' |
| the actual file to compile |
| .TP |
| `\enonstopmode' |
| same as \fB\-\-batch\fR |
| .PP |
| When invoked as `texi2pdf' or `pdftexi2dvi', or given the option \fB\-\-pdf\fR |
| or \fB\-\-dvipdf\fR, generate PDF output. Otherwise, generate DVI. |

| \fB\-D\fR, \fB\-\-debug\fR |

| .TP |
| \fB\-o\fR, \fB\-\-output\fR=\fI\,OFILE\/\fR |

| .TP |

| remove the auxiliary files and directories, |
| but not the output |
| .SS "Output format:" |
| .TP |
| \fB\-\-dvi\fR |

| \fB\-\-dvipdf\fR |

| .TP |
| \fB\-\-text\fR |
| output a plain text file from LaTeX, using HeVeA |
| .SS "TeX tuning:" |
| .TP |
| \-@ |
| use @input instead of \einput for preloaded Texinfo |
| .TP |
| \fB\-e\fR, \fB\-E\fR, \fB\-\-expand\fR |
| force macro expansion using makeinfo |
| .TP |
| \fB\-I\fR DIR |
| search DIR for Texinfo files |
| .TP |
| \fB\-l\fR, \fB\-\-language\fR=\fI\,LANG\/\fR |
| specify LANG for FILE, either latex or texinfo |
| .TP |
| \fB\-\-no\-line\-error\fR |
| do not pass \fB\-\-file\-line\-error\fR to TeX |
| .TP |
| \fB\-\-shell\-escape\fR |
| pass \fB\-\-shell\-escape\fR to TeX |
| .TP |
| \fB\-\-src\-specials\fR |
| pass \fB\-\-src\-specials\fR to TeX |
| .TP |
| \fB\-t\fR, \fB\-\-command\fR=\fI\,CMD\/\fR |
| insert CMD in copy of input file |
| .TP |
| or \fB\-\-texinfo\fR=\fI\,CMD\/\fR |
| multiple values accumulate |
| .TP |
| \fB\-\-translate\-file\fR=\fI\,FILE\/\fR |
| use given charset translation file for TeX |
| .SS "Build modes:" |
| .TP |
| \fB\-\-build\fR=\fI\,MODE\/\fR |
| specify the treatment of auxiliary files [local] |
| .TP |
| \fB\-\-tidy\fR |
| same as \fB\-\-build\fR=\fI\,tidy\/\fR |
| .TP |
| \fB\-c\fR, \fB\-\-clean\fR |
| same as \fB\-\-build\fR=\fI\,clean\/\fR |
| .TP |
| \fB\-\-build\-dir\fR=\fI\,DIR\/\fR |
| specify where the tidy compilation is performed; |
| implies \fB\-\-tidy\fR; |
| defaults to TEXI2DVI_BUILD_DIRECTORY [.] |
| .PP |
| The MODE specifies where the TeX compilation takes place, and, as a |
| consequence, how auxiliary files are treated. The build mode can also |
| be set using the environment variable TEXI2DVI_BUILD_MODE. |
| .SS "Valid values of MODE are:" |
| .TP |
| `local' |
| compile in the current directory, leaving all the auxiliary |
| files around. This is the traditional TeX use. |
| .TP |
| `tidy' |
| compile in a local *.t2d directory, where the auxiliary files |
| are left. Output files are copied back to the original file. |
| .TP |
| `clean' |
| same as `tidy', but remove the auxiliary directory afterwards. |
| Every compilation therefore requires the full cycle. |
| .PP |
| The values of these environment variables are used to run the |
| corresponding commands, if they are set: |
| .IP |
| BIBER BIBTEX DVIPDF DVIPS EGREP HEVEA LATEX MAKEINDEX MAKEINFO |
| PDFLATEX PDFTEX SED T4HT TEX TEX4HT TEXINDEX TEXINDY THUMBPDF_CMD |
| .PP |
| Regarding \fB\-\-dvipdf\fR, if DVIPDF is not set in the environment, the |
| following programs are looked for (in this order): dvipdfmx dvipdfm |
| dvipdf dvi2pdf dvitopdf. |
| .PP |
| Any CMD strings are added after @setfilename for Texinfo input, or in |
| the first line for LaTeX input. |
| .PP |
| If Texinfo is installed on your site, then the command |
| .IP |
| info texi2dvi |
| .PP |
| should give you access to more documentation. |
