10@unnumbered Viewing the texi doc
11This manpage has been automatically generated from mtools's texinfo
12documentation. However, this process is only approximative, and some
13items, such as crossreferences, footnotes and indices are lost in this
14translation process. Indeed, these items have no appropriate
15representation in the manpage format. Moreover, not all information has
16been translated into the manpage version. Thus I strongly advise you to
17use the original texinfo doc. See the end of this manpage for
18instructions how to view the texinfo doc.

22To generate a printable copy from the texinfo doc, run the following
23commands:
24@example
25 ./configure; make dvi; dvips mtools.dvi
26@end example

29To generate a html copy, run:
30@example
31 ./configure; make html
32@end example
33A premade html can be found at

37To generate an info copy (browsable using emacs' info mode), run:
38@example
39 ./configure; make info
40@end example
41@end itemize

43The texinfo doc looks most pretty when printed or as html. Indeed, in
44the info version certain examples are difficult to read due to the
45quoting conventions used in info.
