Also, it contains makeinfo.c. + +* The Emacs Lisp Reference Manual is turning out bigger than we +expected. It totals over 750 pages when printed on 8.5 by 11 inch +paper and the info files total almost two megabytes. + +* You can format this manual either for Info or for printing hardcopy +using TeX. + +** This distribution contains a Makefile that you can use with GNU Make. +Otherwise, here are detailed instructions: + +** HARDCOPY: A copy of the version of `texinfo.tex' that formats this +manual is included in this distribution. + +The master file for formatting this manual for Tex is called +`elisp.texi'. It contains @include commands to include all the +chapters that make up the manual. In addition, `elisp.texi' has +the title page in a new format designed by Karl Berry, using the +@titlespec command. + +To create a DVI file with a sorted index, execute the following +commands in the shell: + +% make index.texi +% make elisp.dvi + +*** To create a DVI file with a permuted index, you may experiment +with `make-permuted-index'. + +** INFO: A copy of makeinfo.c that will format this manual for Info is +included in this distribution. This program is written in C and can +be used separately from Emacs. `makeinfo' produces much better error +messages than the old `texinfo-format-buffer'. You can run `makeinfo' +it on the `elisp.texi' file. -- 2.20.1
