It is info.init, but it is a work in progress. It is very different from the other xml based formats, it is not a free form format, requires byte and line counting, and splitting according to those counts. The formatting without counting is not an issue, but counting is more complicated. My current plan is to do a tree of the @-commands and paragraphs and go through the tree to locate all the commands that need to be located while doing the byte counting. This is quite complicated, but curently texi2html only outputs the result when a command is closed, not as soon as text arrives, so doing the count is not straightforward. > > roff with roff.init > > [Speaking as the groff maintainer] Aah, will test that as soon as time > permits. I made it some time ago, but it has not been updated for a long time. It uses the me macros. I mimicked the output of another texi to groff processor, and used the doc to figure out the output, but help from somebody who knows what roff output should look like would really be needed to have something right. -- Pat
