5 # file, execute the following at your shell prompt:
7 tar -tzvf emacs-lisp-intro-2.00.tar.gz
9 # To uncompress and untar the file, execute the following:
11 tar -xzvf emacs-lisp-intro-2.00.tar.gz
13 # The file will untar into a subdirectory called emacs-lisp-intro-2.00
14 # That directory will contain the Texinfo source for the book, the
15 # Info files and various other files.
17 cd emacs-lisp-intro-2.00
19 # To create a DVI file that can be printed directly or converted

26 # (presumably you have already executed the `./configure' command
27 # before running `make dvi'; if not execute `./configure' now);
28 # this will place HTML files into a emacs-lisp-intro/ subdirectory:
30 makeinfo --html --verbose emacs-lisp-intro.texi
32 # To create a single, large HTML file in the current directory,
33 # use the --no-split option, like this:
35 makeinfo --html --no-split --verbose emacs-lisp-intro.texi
37 # At the time of writing, `makeinfo' version 4.0b creates HTML
38 # files with %20 in addresses instead of a space. Some
39 # browsers have difficulty following such references. In
40 # GNU Emacs, you can replace the occurrences of %20 with a
42 # (replace-string "%20" " ")
44 # To create a single, large Info file in the current directory
45 # instead of the usual 16 smaller Info files, and also, to avoid
46 # indenting paragraphs, execute:
48 makeinfo --no-split --paragraph-indent=0 --verbose emacs-lisp-intro.texi
50 # To create a single, large Plain text file in the current
53 makeinfo --fill-column=70 --no-split --paragraph-indent=0 \
