makeinfo
inside EmacsYou can run makeinfo
in GNU Emacs Texinfo mode by using either the
makeinfo-region
or the makeinfo-buffer
commands. In
Texinfo mode, the commands are bound to C-c C-m C-r and C-c
C-m C-b by default.
When you invoke either makeinfo-region
or
makeinfo-buffer
, Emacs prompts for a file name, offering the
name of the visited file as the default. You can edit the default
file name in the minibuffer if you wish, before pressing <RET> to
start the makeinfo
process.
The Emacs makeinfo-region
and makeinfo-buffer
commands
run the makeinfo
program in a temporary shell buffer. If
makeinfo
finds any errors, Emacs displays the error messages in
the temporary buffer.
You can parse the error messages by typing C-x `
(next-error
). This causes Emacs to go to and position the
cursor on the line in the Texinfo source that makeinfo
thinks
caused the error. See Running make
or Compilers Generally in The GNU Emacs Manual, for more
information about using the next-error
command.
In addition, you can kill the shell in which the makeinfo
command is running or make the shell buffer display its most recent
output.
Kill the current running makeinfo
job
(from makeinfo-region
or makeinfo-buffer
).
Redisplay the makeinfo
shell buffer to display its most recent
output.
(Note that the parallel commands for killing and recentering a TeX job are C-c C-t C-k and C-c C-t C-l. See section Formatting and Printing in Texinfo Mode.)
You can specify options for makeinfo
by setting the
makeinfo-options
variable with either the M-x
edit-options or the M-x set-variable command, or by setting the
variable in your ‘.emacs’ initialization file.
For example, you could write the following in your ‘.emacs’ file:
(setq makeinfo-options "--paragraph-indent=0 --no-split --fill-column=70 --verbose")

.
