| 10 | which handles forms that cannot be handled by the older versions of | |
| bdd40dd2 | 11 | texinfo.tex. |

| 16 | * The Emacs Lisp Reference Manual is quite large. It totals around | |
| de2f4698 | 17 | 1100 pages in smallbook format; the info files total over |
| 0b2fb045 | 18 | 2.5 megabytes. |
| 96099e29 RS |
19 | |
| 20 | * You can format this manual either for Info or for printing hardcopy | |
| 177c0ea7 | 21 | using TeX. |
| 96099e29 | 22 | |
| 14423a05 | 23 | * You can buy nicely printed copies from the Free Software Foundation. |

27 | ** This distribution contains a Makefile that you can use with GNU Make. |
| 28 | Otherwise, here are detailed instructions: | |
| 29 | ||
| 30 | ** HARDCOPY: A copy of the version of `texinfo.tex' that formats this | |
| 31 | manual is included in this distribution. | |
| 32 | ||
| 33 | The master file for formatting this manual for Tex is called | |
| 34 | `elisp.texi'. It contains @include commands to include all the | |
| 35 | chapters that make up the manual. In addition, `elisp.texi' has | |
| 36 | the title page in a new format designed by Karl Berry, using the | |
| 37 | @titlespec command. | |
| 38 | ||
| 39 | To create a DVI file with a sorted index, execute the following | |
| 40 | commands in the shell: | |
| 41 | ||
| ff1f8dd6 | 42 | % ./configure |
| 96099e29 RS |
43 | % make index.texi |
| 44 | % make elisp.dvi | |
| 45 | ||
| 46 | *** To create a DVI file with a permuted index, you may experiment | |
| 177c0ea7 | 47 | with `make-permuted-index'. |
| 96099e29 | 48 | |
| bdd40dd2 | 49 | ** To make an Info file, you need to install Texinfo, then run |
| df140a68 | 50 | `./configure' and `make info'. To install the Info files, run |
| ff1f8dd6 | 51 | `make install'. |
