Next: Running makeinfo Within Emacs, Up: Creating an Info File [Contents][Index]
makeinfo AdvantagesThe makeinfo utility creates an Info file from a Texinfo source
providing better error messages than either of the Emacs formatting
commands. We recommend it. The makeinfo program is
independent of Emacs. You can run makeinfo in any of three
ways: from an operating system shell, from a shell inside Emacs, or by
typing the C-c C-m C-r or the C-c C-m C-b command in
Texinfo mode in Emacs.
The texinfo-format-region and the texinfo-format-buffer
commands may be useful if you cannot run makeinfo.
