2.1.2: Modifying the outlook of the documentation

The ftape-tools package comes with pre-formatted documentation in INFO, HTML, DVI, Postscript and plain text format. If you simply run configure with the default options, then make will not attempt to reformat the documentation. However, some of the options given below will require reformatting of parts of the documentation.

The DVI version of the documentation will not be installed. The default paper-size is DIN-A4.

The PREFIX variable refers to the installation prefix, i.e. the directory into which's subdirectories this package will be installed It can be changed with `configure --prefix=PREFIX'.

--with-htmldir

Where the html documentation should be installed. Default is `PREFIX/share/ftape-tools/html'.


--with-sgmldir

Where the sgml documentation should be installed. Default is `PREFIX/share/ftape-tools/sgml'


--with-papersize=PAPERSIZE

Paper size to use for the DVI and Postscript version of the manual, PAPERSIZE is either a4 or letter. Defaule is a4.


--with-info2html=URL

info-to-html url to use for inforef macros in TeXinfo source code. There are some cgi scripts which can convert info files to HTML format on the fly. I know of the info2html package and of the info2www package. Default for URL is `http://localhost/cgi-bin/info2html'.


--without-infoserver

Disable the info-2html gateway as given by the --with-info2html=URL option.


--with-pslatex

Use postscript fonts for LaTeX. This requires the pslatex package. Only meaningful for the SGML derived formatted documentation, i.e. when --enable-sgml-docs was given also. Default is yes.


--enable-postscript

Create and install a Postscript version of the manual as well. Have a good look at the --with-papersize option. Pre-formatted versions in either Letter or A4 format can be downloaded from the Ftape Home Page. The default for this option is disabled.


--enable-sgml-docs

Install sgml derived documentation even when the same format can be derived directly from the TeXinfo source code (i.e. Postscript, HTML). This is just a fun option. I think that one shouldn't use it, as the documentation is written in TeXinfo; SGML is used by default to convert it to a plain ASCII format. Therefore, the default for the Postscript and HTML version of the manual is not to be created from the (automatically generated) SGML version of the manual.
