MAKEINFO(1)               User Commands               MAKEINFO(1)

     --no-ifplaintext
          do not process @ifplaintext text.

          The defaults for the @if... conditionals depend on the
          output format: if generating HTML, --ifhtml is on and
          the others are off; if generating Info, --ifinfo is on
          and the others are off; if generating plain text,
          --ifplaintext is on and the others are off; if generat-
          ing XML, --ifxml is on and the others are off.
