README for Edition 2.0.1 of the Emacs Lisp Reference Manual.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
* This directory contains the texinfo source files for the Reference
|
||||||
|
Manual, make-permuted-index, and the latest version of texinfo.tex,
|
||||||
|
which handles forms that cannot be handled by the older versions of
|
||||||
|
texinfo.tex. Also, it contains makeinfo.c.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
* The Emacs Lisp Reference Manual is turning out bigger than we
|
||||||
|
expected. It totals over 750 pages when printed on 8.5 by 11 inch
|
||||||
|
paper and the info files total almost two megabytes.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
* You can format this manual either for Info or for printing hardcopy
|
||||||
|
using TeX.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
** This distribution contains a Makefile that you can use with GNU Make.
|
||||||
|
Otherwise, here are detailed instructions:
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
** HARDCOPY: A copy of the version of `texinfo.tex' that formats this
|
||||||
|
manual is included in this distribution.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
The master file for formatting this manual for Tex is called
|
||||||
|
`elisp.texi'. It contains @include commands to include all the
|
||||||
|
chapters that make up the manual. In addition, `elisp.texi' has
|
||||||
|
the title page in a new format designed by Karl Berry, using the
|
||||||
|
@titlespec command.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
To create a DVI file with a sorted index, execute the following
|
||||||
|
commands in the shell:
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
% make index.texi
|
||||||
|
% make elisp.dvi
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
*** To create a DVI file with a permuted index, you may experiment
|
||||||
|
with `make-permuted-index'.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
** INFO: A copy of makeinfo.c that will format this manual for Info is
|
||||||
|
included in this distribution. This program is written in C and can
|
||||||
|
be used separately from Emacs. `makeinfo' produces much better error
|
||||||
|
messages than the old `texinfo-format-buffer'. You can run `makeinfo'
|
||||||
|
it on the `elisp.texi' file.
