One hour??? - To extract the file from source texinfo TeX? - To learn how to insert images in a format suitable for TeX? - To convert my LaTeX / RTF / TXT notes to TeX? I think it's quite complicated (at least for me) and at the point of the question is another: It is possible to get a file from source texinfo LaTeX? The procedure I followed was: texinfo sources -> makeinfo -> docbook -> Pandoc -> LaTeX but it did not work! I understand that it is too complicated as a transformation of formats and so I wanted to see if you can have a larger and more powerful format (of texinfo) to work... and to send to print a ===customized version=== of the Emacs manual! THANX !!!
