NAME

       yodl2... - miscellaneous Yodl converters

SYNOPSIS

       yodl2... [OPTION]... FILE

DESCRIPTION

       This  manual  page  describes  the  various  shell scripts that convert
       documents in the Yodl language to other formats. The  basic  converters
       are:

       o      yodl2html(1): converts to HTML, writes a file with the extension
              .html.

       o      yodl2man(1): converts to nroff ‘man’ format, writes .man. Can be
              further processed with e.g. nroff -Tascii -man file.man.

       o      yodl2latex(1):  converts  to LaTeX output, writes .latex. Can be
              further processed with, e.g., latex file.latex.

       o      yodl2txt(1): converts to plain ASCII, writes  .txt.  This  is  a
              very rudimentary converter, a last-resort.

OPTIONS

       The options are identical to those of the yodl(1) program.

       Additionally, the following options are available:

       o      --no-warnings:
              By  default  the  convertors call yodl(1) using the -w flag. The
              option --no-warnings suppresses this flag.

       o      --intermediate=<filename>:
              By default, files used for the communication  between  yodl  and
              yodlpost    are    removed   following   the   conversion.   The
              --intermediate=<filename> option may be provided to retain these
              files, called <filename> and <filename>.idx.

FILES

       Each  yodl2format converter requires a file format.yo in Yodl’s include
       path (e.g., /usr/share/yodl). This file is auto-loaded before FILE (see
       the synopsys) is loaded, to make the conversion to format possible.

       The  output  is  written  to  one  or  more  files having the extension
       .format.
