`help2tex`

Generate standard LaTeX or *atoms.g files from a .help file.

help2tex is a perl script which translates aips2help.sty commands and enviornments into standard LaTeX and into glish help atoms. help2tex also does some formatting/rearranging of the help text to provide a bit of consistency for the user's manual.

Options

-noheaders: Do not put standard latex2e document headers around the help text.
-glish -package packagename: Generate glish help atoms (glish attributes) which belong to package packagename.

Notes

Output goes to standard out so it need to be redirected to be saved.
Most folks should run thier .help files through help2tex to check the output before checking the .help file into the system.

Examples

   help2tex measures.help > measures.htex
   help2tex -noheaders aips.help > aips.htex
   help2tex -glish -package aips > aipsatoms.g

Turns aips2help.sty functions and enviornments into standard LaTeX, can be run through latex2e.
Generate standard LaTeX, without the headers (used in the make system)
Create the atoms.g file used in generating command-line glish help.
