This took me a while to figure out at first too, and the procedure gained an extra step since that time (when groff.texi was converted to groff.texi.in to require preprocessing) so it's harder to figure out today: a simple "makeinfo" on the .in file returns errors, and the novice won't know whether that's his fault or the file's. Anyway, here's what I currently use as a quick-n-dirty previewer: sed s/@VERSION@/VERSION/ groff.texi.in | makeinfo --plaintext | less This loses all the info-ey aspects of it (to me, a plus), but shows you all the text in a formatted state.
