: val = makeinfo_program ()

: old_val = makeinfo_program (new_val)

: makeinfo_program (new_val, "local")

Query or set the internal variable that specifies the name of the program that Octave runs to format help text containing Texinfo markup commands.

The default value is makeinfo.

When called from inside a function with the "local" option, the variable is changed locally for the function and any subroutines it calls. The original variable value is restored when exiting the function.
