1 10 Printing Nodes
1 *****************
1
1 In general, we recommend that you use TeX to format the document and
1 print sections of it, by running 'tex' on the Texinfo source file.
1 However, you may wish to print out the contents of a node as a quick
1 reference document for later use, or if you don't have TeX installed.
1 Info provides you with a command for doing this.
1
1 'M-x print-node'
1 Pipe the contents of the current node through the command in the
1 environment variable 'INFO_PRINT_COMMAND'. If the variable does
1 not exist, the node is simply piped to 'lpr' (on DOS/Windows, the
1 default is to print the node to the local printer device, 'PRN').
1
1 The value of 'INFO_PRINT_COMMAND' may begin with the '>' character,
1 as in '>/dev/printer', in which case Info treats the rest as the
1 name of a file or a device. Instead of piping to a command, Info
1 opens the file, writes the node contents, and closes the file,
1 under the assumption that text written to that file will be printed
1 by the underlying OS.
