NAME
       yodl2... - miscellaneous Yodl converters

SYNOPSIS
       yodl2... [OPTION]... FILE

DESCRIPTION
       This manual page describes the various shell scripts that convert
       documents in the Yodl language to other formats. The basic converters
       are:

       o      yodl2html(1): converts to HTML, writes a file with the extension
              .html.

       o      yodl2man(1): converts to nroff `man' format, writes .man. Can be
              further processed with e.g. nroff -Tascii -man file.man.

       o      yodl2latex(1): converts to LaTeX output, writes .latex. Can be
              further processed with, e.g., latex file.latex.

       o      yodl2txt(1): converts to plain ASCII, writes .txt. This is a
              very rudimentary converter, a last-resort.


OPTIONS
       The options are identical to those of the yodl(1) program.

       Additionally, the following options are available:

       o      `--no-warnings':
              By default the converters call yodl(1) using the `-w' flag. The
              option `--no-warnings' suppresses this flag.

       o      `--intermediate=<filename>':
              By default, files used for the communication between yodl and
              yodlpost are removed following the conversion. The
              `--intermediate=<filename>' option may be provided to retain
              these files, called `<filename>' and `<filename>.idx'.


FILES
       Each yodl2format converter requires a file format.yo in Yodl's include
       path (e.g., `tmp/wip/macros'). This file is auto-loaded before `FILE'
       (see the synopsis) is loaded, to make the conversion to format
       possible.

       The output is written to one or more files having the extension
       .format.
