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.
