@section Texinfo::Convert::Info METHODS

@anchor{Texinfo@asis{::}Convert@asis{::}Info $converter = Texinfo@asis{::}Convert@asis{::}Info->converter($options)}

Initialize converter from Texinfo to Info.

The @emph{$options} hash reference holds options for the converter.  In
this option hash reference a @ref{Texinfo@asis{::}Parser NAME,, parser object}
may be associated with the @emph{parser} key.  The other options
are Texinfo customization options and a few other options that can
be passed to the converter. Most of the customization options are described in
the Texinfo manual.  Those customization options, when appropriate, override
the document content.  The parser should not be available directly anymore
after getting the associated information.

See @ref{Texinfo@asis{::}Convert@asis{::}Converter NAME,, Texinfo::Convert::Converter} for more information.
