# yodlpost(1)

Yodl post-processor

## NAME

yodlpost - Yodl post-processor

## SYNOPSIS

**yodlpost** \[options\] index yodlout \[out\]

## DESCRIPTION

The **Yodl** post processor is used to solve references into the converted text, and to split (where appropriate) the converted **Yodl** text in parts. Some conversions do not require post-processing, such as LaTeX, but most do. Therefore, in most cases a **Yodl** conversion consists of two phases:

- o

  First, [**yodl**(1)](/yodl/1.md) is called, producing a raw output file and an associated *index* file;

- o

  Then, [**yodlpost**(1)](/yodlpost/1.md) is called, converting these two files into a final document. Normally, **yodl2...**(1) scripts are used to perform complete **Yodl** conversions.

## OPTIONS

**-x ext**: extension of the *out*-**s** if different from *out*’s extension itself. If omitted, and *out* has no extension, *ypp* (Yodl Post Processor) is used.

## SEE ALSO
