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.
