Batch Formatting
================

  You can format Texinfo files for Info using `batch-texinfo-format'
and Emacs Batch mode.  You can run Emacs in Batch mode from any shell,
including a shell inside of Emacs.  (*Note Command Line Switches and
Arguments: (emacs)Command Switches.)

  Here is the command to format all the files that end in `.texinfo' in
the current directory (where `%' is the shell prompt):

     % emacs -batch -funcall batch-texinfo-format *.texinfo

Emacs processes all the files listed on the command line, even if an
error occurs while attempting to format some of them.

  Run `batch-texinfo-format' only with Emacs in Batch mode as shown; it
is not interactive.  It kills the Batch mode Emacs on completion.

  `batch-texinfo-format' is convenient if you lack `makeinfo' and want
to format several Texinfo files at once.  When you use Batch mode, you
create a new Emacs process.  This frees your current Emacs, so you can
continue working in it.  (When you run `texinfo-format-region' or
`texinfo-format-buffer', you cannot use that Emacs for anything else
until the command finishes.)
