Basic Installation for An Introduction to Programming in Emacs Lisp version 2 ================== # To see the table of contents of the emacs-lisp-intro-2.00.tar.gz # file, execute the following at your shell prompt: tar -tzvf emacs-lisp-intro-2.00.tar.gz # To uncompress and untar the file, execute the following: tar -xzvf emacs-lisp-intro-2.00.tar.gz # The file will untar into a subdirectory called emacs-lisp-intro-2.00 # That directory will contain the Texinfo source for the book, the # Info files and various other files. cd emacs-lisp-intro-2.00 # To create a DVI file that can be printed directly or converted # to PostScript or PDF and then printed, execute the following: ./configure make dvi # To create an HTML file, execute the following # (presumably you have already executed the `./configure' command # before running `make dvi'; if not execute `./configure' now); # this will place HTML files into a emacs-lisp-intro/ subdirectory: makeinfo --html --verbose emacs-lisp-intro.texi # To create a single, large HTML file in the current directory, # use the --no-split option, like this: makeinfo --html --no-split --verbose emacs-lisp-intro.texi # At the time of writing, `makeinfo' version 4.0b creates HTML # files with %20 in addresses instead of a space. Some # browsers have difficulty following such references. In # GNU Emacs, you can replace the occurrences of %20 with a # command such as # (replace-string "%20" " ") # To create a single, large Info file in the current directory # instead of the usual 16 smaller Info files, and also, to avoid # indenting paragraphs, execute: makeinfo --no-split --paragraph-indent=0 --verbose emacs-lisp-intro.texi # To create a single, large Plain text file in the current # directory, execute: makeinfo --fill-column=70 --no-split --paragraph-indent=0 \ --verbose --no-headers --output=emacs-lisp-intro.txt emacs-lisp-intro.texi ###
