Re: Error generating manual

[Karl Berry]

Hi Patrick,

    I'm currently generating a manual from texinfo files.

What is the manual?

    E.g. I have a file called introduction.texi
    <gendocs.sh introduction "Introduction"> is wat I did run.

I assume this is one of the chapters.  You should run gendocs.sh once on
the top level file, not on each chapter individually.

    I'm also having trouble with texi2html...maybe it is related.

I recommend using makeinfo --html instead, for GNU manuals anyway.

    The error I get there is:
    Undefined node (Contacting the Author): was written by Ben Pfaff. 
    @xref{Contacting the Author}, for

That seems likely to be another symptom of running it on a single
chapter, instead of the overall document.  Some other chapter probably has
@node Contacting the Author
which will make the xref resolve.

Let me know if still problems ...

Best,
karl
