texi2dviThe 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 @pagesizes
(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’.
