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.
