yodlconverters(1) Your Own Document Language yodlconverters(1) NAME yodl2... - miscellaneous Yodl converters SYNOPSIS yodl2... [OPTION]... FILE DESCRIPTION This manual page describes the various shell scripts that convert docu- ments in the Yodl language to other formats. The basic converters are: o yodl2html(1): converts to HTML, writes a file with the extension .html. o yodl2man(1): converts to nroff `man' format, writes .man. Can be further processed with e.g. nroff -Tascii -man file.man. o yodl2latex(1): converts to LaTeX output, writes .latex. Can be further processed with, e.g., latex file.latex. o yodl2txt(1): converts to plain ASCII, writes .txt. This is a very rudimentary converter, a last-resort. NOTE: Starting with Yodl version 3.00.0 Yodl's default file inclusion behavior has changed. The current working directory no longer remains fixed at the directory in which Yodl is called, but is volatile, chang- ing to the directory in which a yodl-file is located. This has the ad- vantage that Yodl's file inclusion behavior now matches the way C's #include directive operates; it has the disadvantage that it may break some current documents. Conversion, however is simple but can be avoided altogether if the -L (--legacy-include) option is used (see be- low). OPTIONS The options are identical to those of the yodl(1) program. Additionally, the following options are available: o --no-warnings: By default the converters call yodl(1) using the -w flag. The option --no-warnings suppresses this flag. o --intermediate=<filename>: By default, files used for the communication between yodl and yodlpost are removed following the conversion. The --intermedi- ate=<filename> option may be provided to retain these files, called <filename> and <filename>.idx. FILES Each yodl2format converter requires a file format.yo in Yodl's include path (e.g., tmp/wip/macros). This file is auto-loaded before FILE (see the synopsis) is loaded, to make the conversion to format possible. The output is written to one or more files having the extension .for- mat.
