## Undocumented internal function.
## @end deftypefn

## Run @code{makeinfo} on a given text.
##
## The string @var{text} is run through the @code{__makeinfo__} program
## to generate output in various formats. This string must contain valid
## Texinfo formatted text.
##
## The @var{output_type} selects the format of the output. This can be either
## @t{"html"}, @t{"texinfo"}, or @t{"plain text"}. By default this is
## @t{"plain text"}. If @var{output_type} is @t{"texinfo"}, the @t{@@seealso}
## macro is expanded, but otherwise the text is unaltered.
##
## If the optional argument @var{see_also} is present, it is used to expand the
## Octave specific @t{@@seealso} macro. This argument must be a function handle,
## that accepts a cell array of strings as input argument (each elements of the
## array corresponds to the arguments to the @t{@@seealso} macro), and return
## the expanded string. If this argument is not given, the @t{@@seealso} macro
## will be expanded to the text
##
## @example
## See also: arg1, arg2, ...
## @end example
##
## @noindent
## for @t{"plain text"} output, and
##
## @example
## See also: @@ref@{arg1@}, @@ref@{arg2@}, ...
## @end example
##
## @noindent
## otherwise.
##
## The optional output argument @var{status} contains the exit status of the
## @code{makeinfo} program as returned by @code{system}.
