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 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.

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 `--intermediate=<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 .format.
