Forgive me, but I don't know much about emacs.
To create foo.info from foo.texinfo, I've been doing this:
> emacs foo.texinfo
> M-x texinfo-format-buffer
> {lots of stuff happens on the bottom line}
> C-x C-c
> {it asks if I want to save a tags file}
> yes
I'd like to be able to do this without interacting with emacs, so that
I can do it from a makefile or a shell script. I thought
> emacs -f texinfo-format-buffer foo.texinfo
or
> emacs foo.texinfo -f texinfo-format-buffer
might work, but they don't. I get
> Search failed: "@setfilename"
Any suggestions? Please email.
