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.

       NOTE:  Starting  with Yodl version 3.00.0 Yodl’s default file inclusion behavior has changed. The current
       working directory no longer remains fixed at the directory in which Yodl  is  called,  but  is  volatile,
       changing  to  the  directory  in  which  a  yodl-file is located. This has the advantage that Yodl’s file
       inclusion behavior now matches the way C’s #include directive operates; it has the disadvantage  that  it
       may  break  some current documents. Conversion, however is simple but can be avoided altogether if the -L
       (--legacy-include) option is used (see below).


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 synopsys) is loaded, to make the conversion to format possible.

       The output is written to one or more files having the extension .format.
