# NAME

texi2dvi - print Texinfo documents

# SYNOPSIS

texi2dvi [OPTION]... FILE...

# DESCRIPTION

Run each Texinfo or LaTeX FILE through TeX in turn until all cross-references are resolved, building all indices. The directory containing each FILE is searched for included files. The suffix of FILE is used to determine its language (LaTeX or Texinfo).

Makeinfo is used to perform Texinfo macro expansion before running TeX when needed.

## Operation modes:

-b, --batch
  no interaction
-c, --clean
  remove all auxiliary files
-D, --debug
  turn on shell debugging (set -x)
-h, --help
  display this help and exit successfully
-o, --output=OFILE
  leave output in OFILE (implies --clean); Only one input FILE may be specified in this case
-q, --quiet
  no output unless errors (implies --batch)
-s, --silent
  same as --quiet
-v, --version
  display version information and exit successfully
-V, --verbose
  report on what is done

## TeX tuning:

-@
  use @input instead of \input; for preloaded Texinfo
-e, -E, --expand
  force macro expansion using makeinfo
-I DIR
  search DIR for Texinfo files
-l, --language=LANG
  specify the LANG of FILE (LaTeX or Texinfo)
-p, --pdf
  use pdftex or pdflatex for processing
-r, --recode
  call recode before TeX to translate input characters
-t, --command=CMD
  insert CMD in copy of input file
or --texinfo=CMD
  multiple values accumulate

The values of the BIBTEX, LATEX (or PDFLATEX), MAKEINDEX, MAKEINFO, TEX (or PDFTEX), TEXINDEX, and THUMBPDF environment variables are used to run those commands, if they are set. Any CMD strings are added after @setfilename for Texinfo input, in the first line for LaTeX input.
