=head1 METHODS

=over

=item $converter = Texinfo::Convert::OUTFORMAT->converter($options)

Initialize converter from Texinfo to OUTFORMAT.

The I<$options> hash reference holds options for the converter.  In
this option hash reference a L<parser object|Texinfo::Parser>
may be associated with the I<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 L<Texinfo::Convert::Converter> for more information.

=item $converter->output($tree)

Convert a Texinfo tree I<$tree> and output the result in files as
described in the Texinfo manual.

=item $result = $converter->convert($tree)

Convert a Texinfo tree I<$tree> and return the resulting output.

=item $result = $converter->convert_tree($tree)

Convert a Texinfo tree portion I<$tree> and return the resulting
output.  This function does not try to output a full document but only
portions.  For a full document use C<convert>.

__HTML =item $result = $converter->output_internal_links()
__HTML X<C<output_internal_links>>

__HTML Returns text representing the links in the document.  The format should
