<h2 class="section">1.1 Producing documentation from zsh.texi</h2>
<p>The texinfo source may be converted into several formats:
</p>
<dl compact="compact">
<dt>The Info manual</dt>
<dd><p>The Info format allows searching for topics, commands, functions, etc.
from the many Indices. The command ‘<tt>makeinfo zsh.texi</tt>’ is used to
produce the Info documentation.
</p>
</dd>
<dt>The printed manual</dt>
<dd><p>The command ‘<tt>texi2dvi zsh.texi</tt>’ will output <tt>zsh.dvi</tt> which can
then be processed with <cite>dvips</cite> and optionally <cite>gs</cite> (Ghostscript) to
produce a nicely formatted printed manual.
</p>
</dd>
<dt>The HTML manual</dt>
<dd><p>An HTML version of this manual is available at the Zsh web site via:
</p>
<p><tt><a href="http://zsh.sourceforge.net/Doc/">http://zsh.sourceforge.net/Doc/</a></tt>.
</p>
<p>(The HTML version is produced with <cite>texi2html</cite>, which may be obtained
from <tt><a href="http://www.nongnu.org/texi2html/">http://www.nongnu.org/texi2html/</a></tt>. The command is
‘<tt>texi2html --output . --ifinfo --split=chapter --node-files zsh.texi</tt>’.
If necessary, upgrade to version 1.78 of texi2html.)
</p>
</dd>
</dl>
<p>For those who do not have the necessary tools to process texinfo,
precompiled documentation (PostScript, dvi, PDF, info and HTML formats)
is available from the zsh archive site or its mirrors, in the file
<tt>zsh-doc.tar.gz</tt>. (See <a href="Introduction.html#Availability">Availability</a> for a list of sites.)
