43 .SH Viewing\ the\ texi\ doc
44 This manpage has been automatically generated from mtools's texinfo
45 documentation. However, this process is only approximative, and some
46 items, such as crossreferences, footnotes and indices are lost in this
47 translation process. Indeed, these items have no appropriate
48 representation in the manpage format. Moreover, not all information has
49 been translated into the manpage version. Thus I strongly advise you to
50 use the original texinfo doc. See the end of this manpage for
51 instructions how to view the texinfo doc.
54 To generate a printable copy from the texinfo doc, run the following
60 ./configure; make dvi; dvips mtools.dvi
69 To generate a html copy, run:
74 ./configure; make html
80 \&\fRA premade html can be found at
81 \&\fR\&\f(CW\(ifhttp://www.gnu.org/software/mtools/manual/mtools.html\(is\fR
84 To generate an info copy (browsable using emacs' info mode), run:
89 ./configure; make info
97 The texinfo doc looks most pretty when printed or as html. Indeed, in
98 the info version certain examples are difficult to read due to the
99 quoting conventions used in info.
