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 :)

I actually made a PDF conversion by doing:
man -t manpage > manpage.ps
ps2pdf manpage.ps
I was then able to view the pdf file with KPDF. I also
managed to print the pages out on both sides of the paper.
Printing directly to lpr only worked for printing on one
side of the paper.
The only problem is that the page numbers are not being
printed out on each page. But they are printed if I print
from a PDF generated by LyX.
Any suggestions please?
Keith
