<p><code>makeinfo</code> generates Info output by default, but given the
<samp>--html</samp> option, it will generate HTML, for web browsers and
other programs. This chapter gives some details on such HTML output.
</p>
<p><code>makeinfo</code> has many user-definable customization variables
with which you can influence the HTML output. See <a href="Customization-Variables.html">Customization Variables</a>.
</p>
<p><code>makeinfo</code> can also produce output in XML and Docbook formats,
but we do not as yet describe these in detail. See <a href="Output-Formats.html">Output Formats</a>,
for a brief overview of all the output formats.
