README for Edition 2.9 of the Emacs Lisp Reference Manual.
|
||
|
||
* This directory contains the texinfo source files for the Reference
|
||
Manual, make-permuted-index, and the latest version of texinfo.tex,
|
||
which handles forms that cannot be handled by the older versions of
|
||
texinfo.tex.
|
||
|
||
* Report Lisp Manual bugs to bug-lisp-manual@gnu.org. We don't read
|
||
these bug reports until it's time for a new edition. To report other
|
||
Emacs bugs, use bug-gnu-emacs@gnu.org. To ask questions, use the
|
||
newsgroup gnu.emacs.help.
|
||
|
||
* The Emacs Lisp Reference Manual is quite large. It totals around
|
||
1100 pages in smallbook format; the info files total over
|
||
2.5 megabytes.
|
||
|
||
* You can format this manual either for Info or for printing hardcopy
|
||
using TeX.
|
||
|
||
* You can buy nicely printed copies from the Free Software Foundation.
|
||
For info, send mail to gnu@gnu.org or phone 617-542-5942. Buying a
|
||
manual from the Free Software Foundation helps support our GNU
|
||
development work.
|
||
|
||
** This distribution contains a Makefile that you can use with GNU Make.
|
||
Otherwise, here are detailed instructions:
|
||
|
||
** HARDCOPY: A copy of the version of `texinfo.tex' that formats this
|
||
manual is included in this distribution.
|
||
|
||
The master file for formatting this manual for Tex is called
|
||
`elisp.texi'. It contains @include commands to include all the
|
||
chapters that make up the manual. In addition, `elisp.texi' has
|
||
the title page in a new format designed by Karl Berry, using the
|
||
@titlespec command.
|
||
|
||
To create a DVI file with a sorted index, execute the following
|
||
commands in the shell:
|
||
|
||
% ./configure
|
||
% make index.texi
|
||
% make elisp.dvi
|
||
|
||
*** To create a DVI file with a permuted index, you may experiment
|
||
with `make-permuted-index'.
|
||
|
||
** To make an Info file, you need to install Texinfo, then run
|
||
`./configure' and `make info'. To install the Info files, run
|
||
`make install'.
