### 13.7 Filename extensions

You can use any filename extension for the input file, but if you do not use the recommended extension for a particular format you may need to manually specify the output format. See Invoking lilypond-book, for details. Otherwise, `lilypond-book` automatically selects the output format based on the input filename's extension.

> extension | output format
> `.html` | HTML
> `.itely` | Texinfo
> `.latex` | LaTeX
> `.lytex` | LaTeX
> `.tely` | Texinfo
> `.tex` | LaTeX
> `.texi` | Texinfo
> `.texinfo` | Texinfo
> `.xml` | HTML
