Viewing the texi doc
This manpage has been automatically generated from mtools’s texinfo
documentation. However, this process is only approximative, and some
items, such as crossreferences, footnotes and indices are lost in this
translation process. Indeed, these items have no appropriate
representation in the manpage format. Moreover, not all information
has been translated into the manpage version. Thus I strongly advise
you to use the original texinfo doc. See the end of this manpage for
instructions how to view the texinfo doc.
* To generate a printable copy from the texinfo doc, run the
following commands:
./configure; make dvi; dvips mtools.dvi
* To generate a html copy, run:
./configure; make html
A premade html can be found at
‘http://www.gnu.org/software/mtools/manual/mtools.html’
* To generate an info copy (browsable using emacs’ info mode),
run:
./configure; make info
The texinfo doc looks most pretty when printed or as html. Indeed, in
the info version certain examples are difficult to read due to the
quoting conventions used in info.
