As an alternative to the normal Info format output you can use the
`--html' option to generate output in HTML format, for installation
on a web site (for example). In this release, HTML output from
makeinfo
is monolithic, splitting the output by chapter or node
is not supported. We hope to implement this feature soon.
The HTML output file is named according to @setfilename
, but
with any `.info' extension replaced with `.html'.
Texinfo input marked up with the @ifhtml
command will produce
output only with the `--html' option supplied. Input marked up
with the @html
is passed literally to the output (suppressing
the normal escaping of input `<', `>' and `&' characters
which have special significance in HTML).
The `--footnote-style' option is currently ignored for HTML output; footnotes are hyperlinked at the end of the output file.
The HTML generated is mostly standard (i.e., HTML 2.0, RFC1866). The
exception is that HTML 3.2 tables are generated from the
@multitable
command, but tagged to degrade as well as possible
in browsers without table support. Please report output from an
error-free run of makeinfo
which violates the HTML 3.2 DTD as a
bug.
Navigation bars are inserted at the start of nodes, similarly to Info
output. The `--no-headers' option will suppress this if used with
`--no-split'. Header <link>
elements in split output can
support info-like navigation with browsers like Lynx and Emacs W3
which implement this HTML 1.0 feature. You still won't normally get
the multi-file regexp and index search facilities provided by Info
readers. Otherwise, hyperlinks are generated from Texinfo commands
where appropriate. `@xref' commands to other documents are
generated assuming the other document is available in HTML form too, and
`.html' is appended to the `@xref' Info file name. This
presumably will often not work.
