   4     # To see the table of contents of the emacs-lisp-intro-2.00.tar.gz
   5     # file, execute the following at your shell prompt:
   6
   7     tar -tzvf emacs-lisp-intro-2.00.tar.gz
   8
   9     # To uncompress and untar the file, execute the following:
  10
  11     tar -xzvf emacs-lisp-intro-2.00.tar.gz
  12
  13     # The file will untar into a subdirectory called emacs-lisp-intro-2.00
  14     # That directory will contain the Texinfo source for the book, the
  15     # Info files and various other files.
  16
  17     cd emacs-lisp-intro-2.00
  18
  19     # To create a DVI file that can be printed directly or converted
  20     # to PostScript or PDF and then printed, execute the following:
  21
  22     ./configure
  23     make dvi
  24
  25     # To create an HTML file, execute the following
  26     #   (presumably you have already executed the `./configure' command
  27     #    before running `make dvi'; if not execute `./configure' now);
  28     # this will place HTML files into a emacs-lisp-intro/ subdirectory:
  29
  30     makeinfo --html --verbose emacs-lisp-intro.texi
  31
  32     # To create a single, large HTML file in the current directory,
  33     # use the --no-split option, like this:
  34
  35     makeinfo --html --no-split --verbose emacs-lisp-intro.texi
  36
  37         # At the time of writing, `makeinfo' version 4.0b creates HTML
  38         # files with %20 in addresses instead of a space.  Some
  39         # browsers have difficulty following such references.  In
  40         # GNU Emacs, you can replace the occurrences of %20 with a
  41         # command such as
  42         #              (replace-string "%20" " ")
  43
  44     # To create a single, large Info file in the current directory
  45     # instead of the usual 16 smaller Info files, and also, to avoid
  46     # indenting paragraphs, execute:
  47
  48     makeinfo --no-split --paragraph-indent=0 --verbose emacs-lisp-intro.texi
  49
  50     # To create a single, large Plain text file in the current
  51     # directory, execute:
  52
  53     makeinfo --fill-column=70 --no-split --paragraph-indent=0 \
  54     --verbose --no-headers --output=emacs-lisp-intro.txt emacs-lisp-intro.texi
