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

[lisa-asket]

It is not very helpful if you argue between yourselves.  Have tried it and it 
works.  It is not

a disaster when something does not work in some situation.  Although I would 
like to hear

about the makefile thing.  What bothers me is that I could run "texi2pdf 
myfile.texi" without

going through a makefile solution.  Why should I be bothered with makefiles 
because I want to

use emacs to generate my pdf file ?



Have seen people arguing at infinitum when someone asking questions in some 
mailing lists, 

and did not like any of that.

You do need make, the shell-command poor-man's method will
only work for trivial examples and even for these a Makefile
is still much better in every sense.
