1 README for Edition 2.0.1 of the Emacs Lisp Reference Manual. | |
2 | |
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. | |
7 | |
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. | |
14 | |
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. |
