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.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.
- `\input{FILE}'
- the actual file to compile
- `\nonstopmode'
- same as --batch
When invoked as `texi2pdf' or `pdftexi2dvi', or given the option --pdf or --dvipdf, 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)
- -s, --silent
- same as --quiet
- -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 the auxiliary files and directories, 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:
- -@
- use @input instead of \input for preloaded Texinfo
- -e, -E, --expand
- force 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
- -t, --command=,CMD/
- insert CMD in copy of input file
- or --texinfo=,CMD/
- multiple values accumulate
- --translate-file=,FILE/
- use given charset translation file for TeX
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.
Any CMD strings are added after @setfilename for Texinfo input, or in the first line for LaTeX input.
If Texinfo is installed on your site, then the command
- info texi2dvi
should give you access to more documentation.
