22.5 Customization Variables
============================

     Warning: These customization variable names and meanings may change
     in any Texinfo release.  We always try to avoid incompatible
     changes, but we cannot absolutely promise, since needs change over
     time.

  Many aspects of the behavior and output of 'texi2any' may be modified
by modifying so-called "customization variables".  These fall into four
general categories:

   * Those associated with @-commands; for example, '@documentlanguage'.

   * Those associated with command-line options; for example, the
     customization variable 'SPLIT' is associated with the '--split'
     command-line option, and 'TEXINFO_OUTPUT_FORMAT' allows specifying
     the output format.

   * Other ad hoc variables.

  Customization variables may set on the command line using
'--set-customization-variable 'VAR VALUE'' (quoting the variable/value
pair to the shell) or '--set-customization-variable VAR=VALUE' (using
'=').  A special VALUE is 'undef', which sets the variable to this
special "undefined" Perl value.

  The sections below give the details for each of these.
