Subject: Importing texinfo files
Is it possible to import a Linux textinfo document and then convert it to PDF for viewing and printing out in LyX please?

Woops! It's actually a Linux man page - tree.1.gz

I'm need a way to typeset it for printing out.

I copied and pasted the screen text to a text file and printed that. The line length has messed up the output though.

If you just need a nice printed version of the man page:

man -t <manpage>

dumps a man page in nicely formattted postscript to stdout. You can pipe this directly into lpr, gv, pstopdf or whatever.

Thanks for that Daniel :)
