21.1.2 Running `makeinfo' from a Shell
--------------------------------------

To create an Info file from a Texinfo file, invoke `makeinfo' followed
by the name of the Texinfo file.  Thus, to create the Info file for
Bison, type the following to the shell:

     makeinfo bison.texinfo

  (You can run a shell inside Emacs by typing `M-x shell'.)

  `makeinfo' has many options to control its actions and output; see
the next section.
