Well, I must confess that as a user I'd like to be able to get rid of
the menus in some of my documents, in particular because I know no
batch tool that can do it for me.
Texinfo mode in GNU Emacs provides a batch tool for this.
Here is the documentation from the Texinfo manual:
`C-c C-u C-a'
`M-x texinfo-all-menus-update'
Create or update all the menus in the buffer. With an argument
(`C-u' as prefix argument, if interactive), first insert or update
all the node pointers before working on the menus.
If a master menu exists, the `texinfo-all-menus-update' command
updates it; but the command does not create a new master menu if
none already exists. (Use the `texinfo-master-menu' command for
that.)
When working on a document that does not merit a master menu, you
can type the following:
C-u C-c C-u C-a
or
C-u M-x texinfo-all-menus-update
This updates all the nodes and menus.
Works fine.
Perhaps someone should create a shell script that runs this as a batch
command so that people who do not use Emacs could use it?
