<h4 class="subsection">23.1.2 Running <code>makeinfo</code> Within Emacs</h4>
<a name="index-Running-makeinfo-in-Emacs"></a>
<a name="index-makeinfo-inside-Emacs"></a>
<a name="index-Shell_002c-running-makeinfo-in"></a>
<p>You can run <code>makeinfo</code> in GNU Emacs Texinfo mode by using either the
<code>makeinfo-region</code> or the <code>makeinfo-buffer</code> commands. In
Texinfo mode, the commands are bound to <kbd>C-c C-m C-r</kbd> and <kbd>C-c
C-m C-b</kbd> by default.
</p>
<dl compact="compact">
<dt><kbd>C-c C-m C-r</kbd></dt>
<dt><kbd>M-x makeinfo-region</kbd></dt>
<dd><p>Format the current region for Info.
<a name="index-makeinfo_002dregion"></a>
</p>
</dd>
<dt><kbd>C-c C-m C-b</kbd></dt>
<dt><kbd>M-x makeinfo-buffer</kbd></dt>
<dd><p>Format the current buffer for Info.
<a name="index-makeinfo_002dbuffer"></a>
</p></dd>
</dl>
<p>When you invoke <code>makeinfo-region</code> the output goes to a temporary
buffer. When you invoke <code>makeinfo-buffer</code> output goes to the
file set with <code>@setfilename</code> (see <a href="_0040setfilename.html#g_t_0040setfilename"><tt>@setfilename</tt></a>).
</p>
<p>The Emacs <code>makeinfo-region</code> and <code>makeinfo-buffer</code> commands
run the <code>makeinfo</code> program in a temporary shell buffer. If
<code>makeinfo</code> finds any errors, Emacs displays the error messages in
the temporary buffer.
</p>
<a name="index-Errors_002c-parsing"></a>
<a name="index-Parsing-errors"></a>
<a name="index-next_002derror"></a>
<p>You can parse the error messages by typing <kbd>C-x `</kbd>
(<code>next-error</code>). This causes Emacs to go to and position the
cursor on the line in the Texinfo source that <code>makeinfo</code> thinks
caused the error. See <a href="http://www.gnu.org/software/emacs/manual/html_node/emacs/Compilation.html#Compilation">Running <code>make</code> or
Compilers Generally</a> in <cite>The GNU Emacs Manual</cite>, for more
information about using the <code>next-error</code> command.
</p>
<p>In addition, you can kill the shell in which the <code>makeinfo</code>
command is running or make the shell buffer display its most recent
output.
</p>
<dl compact="compact">
<dt><kbd>C-c C-m C-k</kbd></dt>
<dt><kbd>M-x makeinfo-kill-job</kbd></dt>
<dd><a name="index-makeinfo_002dkill_002djob"></a>
<p>Kill the current running <code>makeinfo</code> job
(from <code>makeinfo-region</code> or <code>makeinfo-buffer</code>).
</p>
</dd>
<dt><kbd>C-c C-m C-l</kbd></dt>
<dt><kbd>M-x makeinfo-recenter-output-buffer</kbd></dt>
<dd><a name="index-makeinfo_002drecenter_002doutput_002dbuffer"></a>
<p>Redisplay the <code>makeinfo</code> shell buffer to display its most recent
output.
</p></dd>
</dl>
<p>(Note that the parallel commands for killing and recentering a TeX
job are <kbd>C-c C-t C-k</kbd> and <kbd>C-c C-t C-l</kbd>. See <a href="Texinfo-Mode-Printing.html#Texinfo-Mode-Printing">Texinfo Mode Printing</a>.)
</p>
<p>You can specify options for <code>makeinfo</code> by setting the
<code>makeinfo-options</code> variable with either the <kbd>M-x
customize</kbd> or the <kbd>M-x set-variable</kbd> command, or by setting the
variable in your <samp>.emacs</samp> initialization file.
</p>
<p>For example, you could write the following in your <samp>.emacs</samp> file:
</p>
<div class="example">
<pre class="example">(setq makeinfo-options
"--paragraph-indent=0 --no-split
--fill-column=70 --verbose")
</pre></div>
