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 documents 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 fur- ther 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 be- havior has changed. The current working directory no longer remains fixed at the directory in which Yodl is called, but is volatile, changing to the directory in which a yodl-file is located. This has the advantage 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 below). 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 yodl- post are removed following the conversion. The --intermediate=<file- name> option may be provided to retain these files, called <file- name> 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 syn- opsis) is loaded, to make the conversion to format possible. The output is written to one or more files having the extension .format.
