    TEXI2HTML (1)

    a Texinfo to HTML converter

    SYNOPSIS

      texi2html [options] file

      texi2html -check [-verbose] files

    DESCRIPTION

      Texi2html converts the given Texinfo file to a set of HTML files. It tries to handle most of the Texinfo commands. It creates hypertext links for cross-references, footnotes...

      It also tries to add links from a reference to its corresponding entry in the bibliography (if any). It may also handle a glossary (see the -glossary option).

      Texi2html creates several files depending on the contents of the Texinfo file and on the chosen options (see FILES).

      The HTML files created by texi2html are closer to TeX than to Info, that's why texi2html converts @iftex sections and not @ifinfo ones by default. You can reverse this with the -expandinfo option.

    OPTIONS

      -check

        Check the given file and give the list of all things that may be Texinfo commands. This may be used to check the output of texi2html to find the Texinfo commands that have been left in the HTML file.

      -expandinfo

        Expand @ifinfo sections, not @iftex ones.

      -glossary

        Use the section named 'Glossary' to build a list of terms and put links in the HTML document from each term toward its definition.

      -invisible \fIname\fP

        Use name to create invisible destination anchors for index links. This is a workaround for a known bug of many WWW browsers, including xmosaic.

      -I \fIdir\fP

        Look also in dir to find included files.

      -menu

        Show the Texinfo menus; by default they are ignored.

      -monolithic

        Output only one file, including the table of contents and footnotes.

      -number

        Number the sections.

      -split_chapter

        Split the output into several HTML files (one per main section: chapter, appendix...).

      -split_node

        Split the output into several HTML files (one per node).

      -usage

        Print usage instructions, listing the current available command-line options.

      -verbose

        Give a verbose output. Can be used with the -check option.

    FILES

      By default texi2html creates the following files (foo being the name of the Texinfo file):

      foo_toc.html

        The table of contents.

      foo.html

        The document's contents.

      foo_foot.html

        The footnotes (if any).

      When used with the -split option, it creates several files (one per chapter or node), named foo_n.html (n being the indice of the chapter or node), instead of the single foo.html file.

      When used with the -monolithic option, it creates only one file: foo.html

    VARIABLES

      texi2html predefines the following variables: html, texi2html.

    ADDITIONAL COMMANDS

      texi2html implements the following non-Texinfo commands:

      @ifhtml

        This indicates the start of an HTML section, this section will passed through without any modofication.

      @end ifhtml

        This indcates the end of an HTML section.
