Order of command line options handed over to texi2any when running texinfo-js

[Stefan Husmann]

Hello list members,

I was trying to genarate html out put of the Emacs Lisp Introduction
using the sources coming with Gnu Emacs from git master. The source file
emacs-lisp-intro.texi uses some files by @including them, which are not
in the same directory, but at ../emacs.

I tried to run

address@hidden lispintro]$ texinfo-js  emacs-lisp-intro.texi
texi2any --html -c EXTRA_HEAD=
<link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="info.css"/>
<script src="modernizr.js" type="text/javascript"></script>
<script src="info.js" type="text/javascript"></script>
 emacs-lisp-intro.texi -o emacs-lisp-intro-html
emacs-lisp-intro.texi:7: @include: docstyle.texi konnte nicht gefunden werden
emacs-lisp-intro.texi:12: @include: emacsver.texi konnte nicht gefunden werden
emacs-lisp-intro.texi:113: warning: undefiniertes Flag: EMACSVER
texinfo-js: texi2any failed

With LANG=C for english output:

address@hidden lispintro]$ LANG=C texinfo-js  emacs-lisp-intro.texi
texi2any --html -c EXTRA_HEAD=
<link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="info.css"/>
<script src="modernizr.js" type="text/javascript"></script>
<script src="info.js" type="text/javascript"></script>
 emacs-lisp-intro.texi -o emacs-lisp-intro-html
emacs-lisp-intro.texi:7: @include: could not find docstyle.texi
emacs-lisp-intro.texi:12: @include: could not find emacsver.texi
emacs-lisp-intro.texi:113: warning: undefined flag: EMACSVER
texinfo-js: texi2any failed

Okay, so I tried

address@hidden lispintro]$ texinfo-js -I ../emacs emacs-lisp-intro.texi
texinfo-js: unknown option --I

Why two hyphens?

This works and produces good looking HTML code:

texinfo-js emacs-lisp-intro.texi -I ../emacs

So the order of options is significant, so far so good. But the error
message is quit unclear.

Happy New Year and best Regards
