The command ‘`makeinfo zsh.texi`’ is used to produce the Info documentation. - The printed manual The command ‘`texi2dvi zsh.texi`’ will output `zsh.dvi` which can then be processed with dvips and optionally gs (Ghostscript) to produce a nicely formatted printed manual. - The HTML manual An HTML version of this manual is available at the Zsh web site via: `http://zsh.sourceforge.net/Doc/`. (The HTML version is produced with texi2html, which may be obtained from `http://www.nongnu.org/texi2html/`. The command is ‘`texi2html –output . –ifinfo –split=chapter –node-files zsh.texi`’. If necessary, upgrade to version 1.78 of texi2html.) For those who do not have the necessary tools to process texinfo, precompiled documentation (PostScript, dvi, PDF, info and HTML formats) is available from the zsh archive site or its mirrors, in the file `zsh-doc.tar.gz`. (See [Availability](Introduction.html#Availability) for a list of sites.) ----- This document was generated on *February 15, 2020* using [*texi2html 5.0*](http://www.nongnu.org/texi2html/).
