   Hej Grant!   
      
   Usage: makeinfo [OPTION]... TEXINFO-FILE...   
      
   Translate Texinfo source documentation to various other formats, by default   
   Info files suitable for reading online with Emacs or standalone GNU Info.   
      
   This program is commonly installed as both `makeinfo' and `texi2any';   
   the behavior is identical, and does not depend on the installed name.   
      
   General options:   
         --document-language=STR locale to use in translating Texinfo keywords   
                                   for the output document (default C).   
         --error-limit=NUM       quit after NUM errors (default 100).   
         --force                 preserve output even if errors.   
         --help                  display this help and exit.   
         --no-validate           suppress node cross-reference validation.   
         --no-warn               suppress warnings (but not errors).   
         --conf-dir=DIR          search also for initialization files in DIR.   
         --init-file=FILE        load FILE to modify the default behavior.   
     -c, --set-customization-variable VAR=VAL  set customization variable VAR   
                                   to value VAL.   
         --trace-includes        print names of included files.   
     -v, --verbose               explain what is being done.   
         --version               display version information and exit.   
      
   Output format selection (default is to produce Info):   
         --docbook               output Docbook XML.   
         --html                  output HTML.   
         --epub3                 output EPUB 3.   
         --latex                 output LaTeX.   
         --plaintext             output plain text rather than Info.   
         --xml                   output Texinfo XML.   
         --dvi, --dvipdf, --ps, --pdf  call texi2dvi to generate given output,   
                                   after checking validity of TEXINFO-FILE.   
      
   General output options:   
     -E, --macro-expand=FILE     output macro-expanded source to FILE,   
                                   ignoring any @setfilename.   
         --no-headers            suppress node separators, Node: lines, and menus   
                                   from Info output (thus producing plain text)   
                                   or from HTML (thus producing shorter output).   
                                   Also, if producing Info, write to   
                                   standard output by default.   
         --no-split              suppress any splitting of the output;   
                                   generate only one output file.   
         --[no-]number-sections  output chapter and sectioning numbers;   
                                   default is on.   
     -o, --output=DEST           output to DEST.   
                                   With split output, create DEST as a directory   
                                   and put the output files there.   
                                   With non-split output, if DEST is already   
                                   a directory or ends with a /,   
                                   put the output file there.   
                                   Otherwise, DEST names the output file.   
         --disable-encoding      do not output accented and special characters   
                                   in Info and plain text output based on document   
                                   encoding.   
         --enable-encoding       override --disable-encoding (default).   
      
   Options for Info and plain text:   
         --fill-column=NUM       break Info lines at NUM columns (default 72).   
         --footnote-style=STYLE  output footnotes in Info according to STYLE:   
                                   `separate' to put them in their own node;   
                                   `end' to put them at the end of the node, in   
                                   which they are defined (this is the default).   
         --paragraph-indent=VAL  indent Info paragraphs by VAL spaces (default 3).   
                                   If VAL is `none', do not indent; if VAL is   
                                   `asis', preserve existing indentation.   
         --split-size=NUM        split Info files at size NUM (default 300000).   
      
      
   Options for HTML:   
         --css-include=FILE      include FILE in HTML
