9    # To uncompress and untar the file, execute the following:
10
11    tar -xzvf emacs-lisp-intro-2.04.tar.gz
12
13    # The file will untar into a subdirectory called emacs-lisp-intro-2.04
14    # That directory will contain the Texinfo source for the book, the
15    # Info files and various other files.

17    cd emacs-lisp-intro-2.04

19    # To create a DVI file that can be printed directly or converted
20    # to PostScript or PDF and then printed, execute the following:
21
22    ./configure
23    make dvi
24
25    # To create an HTML file, execute the following
26    #   (presumably you have already executed the `./configure' command
27    #    before running `make dvi'; if not execute `./configure' now);
28    # this will place HTML files into a emacs-lisp-intro/ subdirectory:
29
30    makeinfo --html --verbose emacs-lisp-intro.texi
31
32    # To create a single, large HTML file in the current directory,
33    # use the --no-split option, like this:
34
35    makeinfo --html --no-split --verbose emacs-lisp-intro.texi
36
37        # At the time of writing, `makeinfo' version 4.0b creates HTML
38        # files with %20 in addresses instead of a space.  Some
39        # browsers have difficulty following such references.  In
40        # GNU Emacs, you can replace the occurrences of %20 with a
41        # command such as
42        #              (replace-string "%20" " ")
43
44    # To create a single, large Info file in the current directory
45    # instead of the usual 16 smaller Info files, and also, to avoid
46    # indenting paragraphs, execute:
47
48    makeinfo --no-split --paragraph-indent=0 --verbose emacs-lisp-intro.texi
49
50    # To create a single, large Plain text file in the current
51    # directory, execute:
52
53    makeinfo --fill-column=70 --no-split --paragraph-indent=0 \
54    --verbose --no-headers --output=emacs-lisp-intro.txt emacs-lisp-intro.texi
