  --docbook

  output Docbook XML rather than Info.

  --html

  --plaintext

  output plain text rather than Info. "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, write to standard output by default.

  --no-split

  suppress the splitting of Info or HTML output, generate only one output file.

  --number-sections

  output chapter and sectioning numbers.

  -o, --output=FILE

  --fill-column=NUM

  break Info lines at NUM characters (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

  --ifdocbook

  process @ifdocbook and @docbook even if not generating Docbook.

  --ifhtml

  process @ifhtml and @html even if not generating HTML.

  --ifinfo

  process @ifinfo even if not generating Info.

  --ifplaintext

  process @ifplaintext even if not generating plain text.

  --no-ifxml

  do not process @ifxml and @xml text. Also, for the --no-ifFORMAT options, do process @ifnotFORMAT text. The defaults for the @if... conditionals depend on the output format: if generating HTML, --ifhtml is on and the others are off; if generating Info, --ifinfo is on and the others are off; if generating plain text, --ifplaintext is on and the others are off; if generating XML, --ifxml is on and the others are off.
