texi2dvi
The texi2dvi command automatically runs both tex and
texindex as many times as necessary to produce a DVI file with
sorted indices and all cross-references resolved. It simplifies the
tex---texindex---tex---tex sequence
described in the previous section.
To run texi2dvi on an input file `foo.texi', do this (where
`prompt$ ' is your shell prompt):
prompt$ texi2dvi foo.texi
As shown in this example, the input filenames to texi2dvi must
include any extension (`.texi', `.texinfo', etc.). Under
MS-DOS and perhaps in other circumstances, you may need to run `sh
texi2dvi foo.texi' instead of relying on the operating system to invoke
the shell on the `texi2dvi' script.
Perhaps the most useful option to texi2dvi is
`--texinfo=cmd'. This inserts cmd on a line by itself
after the @setfilename in a temporary copy of the input file
before running TeX. With this, you can specify different printing
formats, such as @smallbook (see section Printing "Small" Books),
@afourpaper (see section Printing on A4 Paper), or @pageparams
(see section @pagesizes [width][, height]: Custom page sizes), without actually changing the document source.
(You can also do this on a site-wide basis with `texinfo.cnf';
see section Preparing for TeX).
For a list of other options, run `texi2dvi --help'.
