3 * This directory contains the texinfo source files for the Reference
|
|
|
4 Manual, make-permuted-index, and the latest version of texinfo.tex,
|
|
|
5 which handles forms that cannot be handled by the older versions of
|
|
|
6 texinfo.tex. Also, it contains makeinfo.c.
|
|
|

|
|
|
8 * The Emacs Lisp Reference Manual is turning out bigger than we
|
|
|
9 expected. It totals over 750 pages when printed on 8.5 by 11 inch
|
|
|
10 paper and the info files total almost two megabytes.
|
|
|
11
|
|
|
12 * You can format this manual either for Info or for printing hardcopy
|
|
|
13 using TeX.

15 ** This distribution contains a Makefile that you can use with GNU Make.
|
|
|
16 Otherwise, here are detailed instructions:
|
|
|
17
|
|
|
18 ** HARDCOPY: A copy of the version of `texinfo.tex' that formats this
|
|
|
19 manual is included in this distribution.
|
|
|
20
|
|
|
21 The master file for formatting this manual for Tex is called
|
|
|
22 `elisp.texi'. It contains @include commands to include all the
|
|
|
23 chapters that make up the manual. In addition, `elisp.texi' has
|
|
|
24 the title page in a new format designed by Karl Berry, using the
|
|
|
25 @titlespec command.
|
|
|
26
|
|
|
27 To create a DVI file with a sorted index, execute the following
|
|
|
28 commands in the shell:
|
|
|
29
|
|
|
30 % make index.texi
|
|
|
31 % make elisp.dvi
|
|
|
32
|
|
|
33 *** To create a DVI file with a permuted index, you may experiment
|
|
|
34 with `make-permuted-index'.
|
|
|
35
|
|
|
36 ** INFO: A copy of makeinfo.c that will format this manual for Info is
|
|
|
37 included in this distribution. This program is written in C and can
|
|
|
38 be used separately from Emacs. `makeinfo' produces much better error
|
|
|
39 messages than the old `texinfo-format-buffer'. You can run `makeinfo'
|
|
|
40 it on the `elisp.texi' file.
