1.1 Producing documentation from zsh.texi

The texinfo source may be converted into several formats:

The Info manual
The Info format allows searching for topics, commands, functions, etc. from the many Indices. The command `makeinfo zsh.texi' is used to produce the Info documentation.

The printed manual
The command `texi2dvi zsh.texi' will output zsh.dvi which can then be processed with dvips and optionally gs (Ghostscript) to produce a nicely formatted printed manual.

The HTML manual
An HTML version of this manual is available at the Zsh web site via:

http://sunsite.dk/zsh/Doc/.

(The HTML version is produced with texi2html, which may be obtained from http://www.mathematik.uni-kl.de/~obachman/Texi2html/. The command is `texi2html -split_chapter -expandinfo zsh.texi'.)

For those who do not have the necessary tools to process texinfo, precompiled documentation (PostScript, dvi, info and HTML formats) is available from the zsh archive site or its mirrors, in the file zsh-doc.tar.gz. (See 2.2 Availability for a list of sites.)
