GNU Texinfo is used on many Unix systems to offer the user an
online hypertext manual and a printed documentation that can be made
with `Makeinfo' or plain TeX. Online manuals can be displayed with
`Info'.
On systems with 8+3-filenames UDO saves files with the suffix
.tex. If the operating systems supports long filenames UDO
uses the suffix .texi instead.
- Why does UDO change the chapter names?
-
Makeinfo and/or Info get problems if a chapter names contains
brackets, commas or colons. UDO is forced to delete these characters
so that you will be able to convert the output with Makeinfo without
any problems. If a chapter name contains only forbidden characters UDO
encodes them.
You will only see the changed chapter names inside the Info
headlines and Info menus. If you convert the Texinfo file with TeX you
will get your original chapter names.
- Why doesn't Texinfo display the environments in "compressed" form?
-
Using Texinfo it's impossible to smaller the paragraph separation.
Thus the parameter !short is useless when converting to
Texinfo.
