SGML2INFO(1)

💖 SGML2INFO(1) 💖

okay bestie, welcome to the General Commands Manual page for sgml2info, and yes the manual name is literally right there in the title, we're doing this 💅

---

✨ NAME ✨

sgml2info — create GNU info output from a LinuxDoc DTD SGML source file 🦋

---

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

sgml2info [generic-option...]  file[.sgml]

---

🎀 DESCRIPTION 🎀

so. sgml2info is the old and obsoleted form of the info converter command from LinuxDoc-Tools, and ngl its name is lowkey misleading — it is not a tool for any SGML DTD, it only supports the SGML LinuxDoc DTD. so if you were out here expecting universal DTD energy, no babe, not today 🙈

the recommended glow-up is to switch to the new form linuxdoc -B info now. periodt.

what it does: converts a LinuxDoc DTD SGML source file to GNU info format 💫. the output will appear in file.info, where file is the name of the SGML source file.

also, the attribute/value pair "output=info" is set for conditionals. iconic behaviour honestly.

---

💅 OPTIONS 💅

sgml2info accepts all the generic options described in linuxdoc(1). all of them. every single one. we don't gatekeep here 🫶

• file — specifies the SGML source file, named either file or file.sgml

---

🍓 FILES 🍓
