Exporting form emacs texinfo-mode to dvi, pdf, and html

[lisa-asket]

If you want mo to perform as well as others, you are looking for a 
disappointment.

Don't know anything about make.



If I do M-x compile and enter "make -j 4 -s -k" emacs complains with  



make -j 4 -s -k 
make: *** No targets specified and no makefile found.  Stop.

You don't need any of that because the `compile-command', e.g.
"make -j 4 -s -k " that can be the same for every mode or
programming language or formatting you do.

Also there's no need to look for a Makefile because it looks
in the same directory as the buffer for one and if there is
one, that's where it happens.

Time to step up your game :(
