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

| 22 | To generate a printable copy from the texinfo doc, run the following |
| 23 | commands: |
| 24 | @example |
| 25 | ./configure; make dvi; dvips mtools.dvi |
| 26 | @end example |
| 27 | |
| 28 | @item |
| 29 | To generate a html copy, run: |
| 30 | @example |
| 31 | ./configure; make html |
| 32 | @end example |
| 33 | A premade html can be found at |
| 34 | @file{http://www.gnu.org/software/mtools/manual/mtools.html} |
| 35 | |
| 36 | @item |
| 37 | To generate an info copy (browsable using emacs' info mode), run: |
| 38 | @example |
| 39 | ./configure; make info |
| 40 | @end example |
| 41 | @end itemize |
| 42 | |
| 43 | The texinfo doc looks most pretty when printed or as html. Indeed, in |
| 44 | the info version certain examples are difficult to read due to the |
| 45 | quoting conventions used in info. |
