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:

‘--no-warnings’:

By default the converters call yodl (1) using the ‘-w’ flag. The option ‘--no-warnings’ suppresses this flag.

‘--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 yodl2 format converter requires a file format.yo in Yodl’s include path (e.g., ‘tmp/wip/macros’). This file is auto-loaded before ‘FILE’ (see the synopsis) is loaded, to make the conversion to format possible.

The output is written to one or more files having the extension .format .
