TEXI2DVI(1)                      User Commands                     TEXI2DVI(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 out-
       put.  Otherwise, generate DVI.

   General options:
       -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

       -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

   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 corre-
       sponding 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  fol-
       lowing programs are looked for (in this order): dvipdfmx dvipdfm dvipdf
       dvi2pdf dvitopdf.
