- 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.
- -v, --verbose

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 <style> output; read stdin if FILE is -.
- --css-ref=,URL/
- generate CSS reference to URL.
- --internal-links=,FILE/
- produce list of internal links in FILE.
- --split=,SPLIT/
- split at SPLIT, where SPLIT may be `chapter', `section' or `node'.
- --transliterate-file-names
- use file names in ASCII transliteration.
- --node-files
- produce redirection files for nodes and anchors; default is set only if split.
