.SH "DESCRIPTION"

.PP 
This manual page describes the various shell scripts that convert
documents in the Yodl language to other formats\&. The basic converters
are:
.IP o 
\fByodl2html\fP(1): converts to HTML, writes a file with the extension
\fB\&.html\fP\&.
.IP o 
\fByodl2man\fP(1): converts to nroff `man\(cq\& format, writes \fB\&.man\fP\&. Can
be further processed with e\&.g\&. \fBnroff \-Tascii \-man\fP
\fIfile\fP\fB\&.man\fP\&.
.IP o 
\fByodl2latex\fP(1): converts to LaTeX output, writes \fB\&.latex\fP\&. Can
be further processed with, e\&.g\&., \fBlatex\fP \fIfile\fP\fB\&.latex\fP\&.
.IP o 
\fByodl2txt\fP(1): converts to plain ASCII, writes \fB\&.txt\fP\&. This is a
very rudimentary converter, a last\-resort\&.

.PP 
.SH "OPTIONS"

.PP 
The options are identical to those of the \fByodl\fP(1) program\&.
.PP 
Additionally, the following options are available:
.IP o 
`\-\-no\-warnings\(cq\&:
.br 
By default the converters call \fByodl\fP(1) using the `\-w\(cq\& flag\&. The
option `\-\-no\-warnings\(cq\& suppresses this flag\&.
.IP o 
`\-\-intermediate=<filename>\(cq\&:
.br 
By default, files used for the communication between yodl and yodlpost
are removed following the conversion\&. The
`\-\-intermediate=<filename>\(cq\& option may be provided to retain these
files, called `<filename>\(cq\& and `<filename>\&.idx\(cq\&\&.

.PP 
.SH "FILES"

.PP 
Each \fByodl2\fP\fIformat\fP converter requires a file \fIformat\&.yo\fP in Yodl\(cq\&s
include path (e\&.g\&., `tmp/wip/macros\(cq\&)\&. This file is auto\-loaded before
`FILE\(cq\& (see the synopsis) is loaded, to make the conversion to
\fIformat\fP possible\&.
.PP 
The output is written to one or more files having the extension
\fI\&.format\fP\&.
