       texi2html - 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 Texinfo commands. It



                                                                0





TEXI2HTML(1)                                         TEXI2HTML(1)


       creates hypertext links for cross-references, footnotes...

       It  also tries to add links from a reference to its corre-
       sponding 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, what's why texi2html convert @iftex sections  and
       not @ifinfo ones.

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.

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

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

       -menu       Show the Texinfo menus; by  default  they  are
                   ignored.

       -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.

TEXI2HTML(1)                                         TEXI2HTML(1)


       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.

VARIABLES
       texi2html   predefines   the  following  variables:  html,
       texi2html.
