Hello. Is there a simple idiom to use when including images in
Texinfo manuals, or have you do everything by yourself? Some
problems:
* Images is needed in many formats (PS, PDF, JPG/PNG or TXT). Unless
are all maintained as source files, rules for building all formats
needed by texinfo, from e.g., *.fig (or perhaps some of the above,
e.g., *.ps) would be useful, but perhaps out of scope.
* 'make install' need to install the JPG/PNG together with the *.info
so the Emacs info reader finds it.
* Dependency tracking for the images. The automake manual says:
,----
| Sometimes an info file actually depends on more than one `.texi'
| file. For instance, in GNU Hello, `hello.texi' includes the file
| `gpl.texi'. You can tell Automake about these dependencies using the
| `TEXI_TEXINFOS' variable. Here is how GNU Hello does it:
|
| info_TEXINFOS = hello.texi
| hello_TEXINFOS = gpl.texi
`----
but I have been putting the images in the hello_TEXINFOS variable,
because it is added as a dependency for hello.texi in this
example. E.g:
info_TEXINFOS = libidn.texi
libidn_TEXINFOS = fdl.texi $(gdoc_TEXINFOS) \
components.eps components.png components.pdf
The components.* are not texinfo files, so I guess this is wrong.
What's the right solution?
Perhaps my problem is that there is no examples on having a Texinfo
manual with images in the Automake manual.
Thanks,
Simon
