texi2pdf(1)
NAME
texi2dvi - convert Texinfo documents to DVI or PDF
SYNOPSIS
texi2dvi [OPTION]... FILE... texi2pdf [OPTION]... FILE... pdftexi2dvi [OPTION]... FILE...
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.
When invoked as `texi2pdf' or given the option --pdf generate PDF
output. Otherwise, generate DVI.
General options:
-b, --batch
no interaction
-D, --debug
turn on shell debugging (set -x)
-h, --help
display this help and exit successfully
-o, --output=OFILE
leave output in OFILE; only one input FILE is allowed
-q, --quiet
no output unless errors (implies --batch)
-v, --version
display version information and exit successfully
-V, --verbose
report on what is done
--max-iterations=N
don't process files more than N times [7]
--mostly-clean
remove auxiliary files or directories from previous runs (but
not the output)
Output format:
--dvi output a DVI file [default]
--dvipdf
output a PDF file via DVI (using a dvi-to-pdf program)
--html output an HTML file from LaTeX, using HeVeA
--info output an Info file from LaTeX, using HeVeA
-p, --pdf
use pdftex or pdflatex for processing
--ps output a PostScript file via DVI (using dvips)
--text output a plain text file from LaTeX, using HeVeA
TeX tuning:
-E, --expand
macro expansion using makeinfo
-I DIR search DIR for Texinfo files
-l, --language=LANG
specify LANG for FILE, either latex or texinfo
--no-line-error
do not pass --file-line-error to TeX
--shell-escape
pass --shell-escape to TeX
--src-specials
pass --src-specials to TeX
--translate-file=FILE
use given charset translation file for TeX
-t, --command=CMD
insert CMD in copy of input file
Any CMD strings are added after @setfilename for Texinfo input, or in
the first line for LaTeX input. Multiple values accumulate.
Build modes:
--build=MODE
specify the treatment of auxiliary files [local]
--tidy same as --build=tidy
-c, --clean
same as --build=clean
--build-dir=DIR
specify where the tidy compilation is performed; implies --tidy;
defaults to TEXI2DVI_BUILD_DIRECTORY [.]
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.
Valid values of MODE are:
`local'
compile in the current directory, leaving all the auxiliary
files around. This is the traditional TeX use.
`tidy' compile in a local *.t2d directory, where the auxiliary files
are left. Output files are copied back to the original file.
`clean'
same as `tidy', but remove the auxiliary directory afterwards.
Every compilation therefore requires the full cycle.
The values of these environment variables are used to run the
corresponding commands, if they are set:
BIBER BIBTEX DVIPDF DVIPS EGREP HEVEA LATEX MAKEINDEX MAKEINFO
PDFLATEX PDFTEX SED T4HT TEX TEX4HT TEXINDEX TEXINDY
THUMBPDF_CMD
Regarding --dvipdf, if DVIPDF is not set in the environment, the
following programs are looked for (in this order): dvipdfmx dvipdfm
dvipdf dvi2pdf dvitopdf.
