| | 6 | README for Edition 2.9 of the Emacs Lisp Reference Manual. |
| | 7 | |
| | 8 | * This directory contains the texinfo source files for the Reference |
| | 9 | Manual, make-permuted-index, and the latest version of texinfo.tex, |
| | 10 | which handles forms that cannot be handled by the older versions of |
| | 11 | texinfo.tex. |
| | 12 | |
| | 13 | * Report bugs in the Lisp Manual or in Emacs using M-x report-emacs-bug. |
| | 14 | To ask questions, use the newsgroup gnu.emacs.help. |
| | 15 | |
| | 16 | * The Emacs Lisp Reference Manual is quite large. It totals around |
| | 17 | 1100 pages in smallbook format; the info files total over |
| | 18 | 2.5 megabytes. |
| | 19 | |
| | 20 | * You can format this manual either for Info or for printing hardcopy |
| | 21 | using TeX. |
| | 22 | |
| | 23 | * You can buy nicely printed copies from the Free Software Foundation. |
| | 24 | Buying a manual from the Free Software Foundation helps support our GNU |
| | 25 | development work. See <http://shop.fsf.org/>. |

| | 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 | |
| | 42 | % ./configure |
| | 43 | % make index.texi |
| | 44 | % make elisp.dvi |
| | 45 | |
| | 46 | *** To create a DVI file with a permuted index, you may experiment |
| | 47 | with `make-permuted-index'. |
| | 48 | |
| | 49 | ** To make an Info file, you need to install Texinfo, then run |
| | 50 | `./configure' and `make info'. To install the Info files, run |
| | 51 | `make install'. |
