TEXI2MDOC(1) General Commands Manual TEXI2MDOC(1) NAME texi2mdoc -- convert texinfo documents to mdoc SYNOPSIS texi2mdoc [-I dirs] [file] DESCRIPTION The texi2mdoc utility converts GNU Texinfo documents to mdoc(7) mixed with tbl(7) (if applicable). By default, texi2mdoc reads from standard input. Its arguments are as follows: -I dirs Colon-separated directories to search for @include files. file A Texinfo input file. If specified, the directory of file is prepended to the list of -I directories. texi2mdoc can understand a significant subset of the texinfo language. It recognises itself as a plaintext formatter. The produced document's title is set to the file filename and the description is set to the @settitle command's contents. EXIT STATUS The texi2mdoc utility exits 0 on success, and >0 if an error occurs. SEE ALSO mdoc(7), tbl(7) GNU Texinfo, http://www.gnu.org/software/texinfo/manual/texinfo. AUTHORS The texi2mdoc utility was written by Kristaps Dzonsons <kristaps@bsd.lv>. CAVEATS The output consists of superfluous `Pp' that cause % mandoc -Tlint to complain. Many commands that might contain useful information (such as @footnote) are thrown away. The comma in Texinfo macro arguments may at times be escaped with a back- slash. This is not supported. SECURITY CONSIDERATIONS As a security precaution, texi2mdoc does not allow the inclusion (via @include or @verbatiminclude) of absolute paths or paths with .. as direc- tory components.
