+This directory contains documentation on the Texinfo system and the TeX
+sources needed to process Texinfo sources.
+
+The .tex files are not installed automatically because TeX installations
+vary so widely. Installing them in the wrong place would give a false
+sense of security. So, you should simply cp *.tex to the appropriate
+place. If your installation follows the TeX Directory Structure
+standard (http://www.tug.org/tds/), this will be the directory
+<texmf>/tex/texinfo/ for texinfo.tex and <texmf>/tex/plain/dvips/ for
+epsf.tex. If you use the default installation paths, <texmf> will be
+/usr/local/share/texmf. If you have teTeX, you can find <texmf> by
+running:
+ texconfig confall | grep \^TEXMF=
+(The configure script tries to do this for you.)
+
+You can get the latest texinfo.tex from
+ftp://ftp.tug.org/tex/texinfo.tex
+ftp://ftp.cs.umb.edu/pub/tex/texinfo.tex
+or on the FSF machines in /home/gd/gnu/doc/texinfo.tex.
+If you have problems with the version in this distribution, please check
+for a newer version.
+
+epsf.tex comes with dvips distributions, and you may already have it
+installed. The version here is functionally identical but slightly
+nicer than the one in dvips574. The changes have been sent to the
+epsf.tex maintainer.

+%%% docstring = "This file contains TeX macros to include an
+%%% Encapsulated PostScript graphic. It works
+%%% by finding the bounding box comment,
+%%% calculating the correct scale values, and
+%%% inserting a vbox of the appropriate size at
+%%% the current position in the TeX document.
+%%%
+%%% To use, simply say
+%%%
+%%% \input epsf % somewhere early on in your TeX file
+%%%
+%%% % then where you want to insert a vbox for a figure:
+%%% \epsfbox{filename.ps}
+%%%
+%%% Alternatively, you can supply your own
+%%% bounding box by
+%%%
+%%% \epsfbox[0 0 30 50]{filename.ps}
+%%%
+%%% This will not read in the file, and will
+%%% instead use the bounding box you specify.
+%%%
+%%% The effect will be to typeset the figure as
+%%% a TeX box, at the point of your \epsfbox
+%%% command. By default, the graphic will have
+%%% its `natural' width (namely the width of
+%%% its bounding box, as described in
+%%% filename.ps). The TeX box will have depth
+%%% zero.
+%%%
+%%% You can enlarge or reduce the figure by
+%%% saying
+%%%
+%%% \epsfxsize=<dimen> \epsfbox{filename.ps}
+%%% or
+%%% \epsfysize=<dimen> \epsfbox{filename.ps}
+%%%
+%%% instead. Then the width of the TeX box will
+%%% be \epsfxsize and its height will be scaled
+%%% proportionately (or the height will be
+%%% \epsfysize and its width will be scaled
+%%% proportionately).
+%%%
+%%% The width (and height) is restored to zero
+%%% after each use, so \epsfxsize or \epsfysize
+%%% must be specified before EACH use of
+%%% \epsfbox.
+%%%
+%%% A more general facility for sizing is
+%%% available by defining the \epsfsize macro.
+%%% Normally you can redefine this macro to do
+%%% almost anything. The first parameter is
+%%% the natural x size of the PostScript
+%%% graphic, the second parameter is the
+%%% natural y size of the PostScript graphic.
+%%% It must return the xsize to use, or 0 if
+%%% natural scaling is to be used. Common uses
+%%% include:
+%%%
+%%% \epsfxsize % just leave the old value alone
+%%% 0pt % use the natural sizes
+%%% #1 % use the natural sizes
+%%% \hsize % scale to full width
+%%% 0.5#1 % scale to 50% of natural size
+%%% \ifnum #1>\hsize\hsize\else#1\fi
+%%% % smaller of natural, hsize
+%%%
+%%% If you want TeX to report the size of the
+%%% figure (as a message on your terminal when
+%%% it processes each figure), say
+%%% `\epsfverbosetrue'.
+%%%
+%%% If you only want to get the bounding box
+%%% extents, without producing any output boxes
+%%% or \special{}, then say
+%%% \epsfgetbb{filename}. The extents will be
+%%% saved in the macros \epsfllx \epsflly
+%%% \epsfurx \epsfury in PostScript units of
+%%% big points.

+%%%
+%%% Handle nested EPS files.

+%%% which may be handy for rapid prototyping.
+%%%
+%%% ---------------------------------------------
+%%% Revised by Nelson H. F. Beebe
+%%% <beebe@math.utah.edu>, 14 Dec 1992 [2.3].

+%%% centered in the figure box.
+%%%
+%%% ---------------------------------------------
+%%% Revised by Nelson H. F. Beebe
+%%% <beebe@math.utah.edu>, 20 June 1993 [2.4].
+%%% Remove non-zero debug setting of \epsfframemargin,
+%%% and change margin handling to preserve EPS image
+%%% size and aspect ratio, so that the actual
+%%% box is \epsfxsize+\epsfframemargin wide by
+%%% \epsfysize+\epsfframemargin high.

+@dfn{Info} is a program which is used to view Info files on an ASCII
+terminal. @dfn{Info files} are the result of processing Texinfo files
+with the program @code{makeinfo} or with one of the Emacs commands, such
+as @code{M-x texinfo-format-buffer}. Texinfo itself is a documentation
+system that uses a single source file to produce both on-line
+information and printed output. You can typeset and print the
+files that you read in Info.@refill

+@chapter Command Line Options
+@cindex command line options
+@cindex arguments, command line
+
+GNU Info accepts several options to control the initial node being
+viewed, and to specify which directories to search for Info files. Here
+is a template showing an invocation of GNU Info from the shell:
+
+@example
+info [--@var{option-name} @var{option-value}] @var{menu-item}@dots{}
+@end example
+
+The following @var{option-names} are available when invoking Info from
+the shell:
+
+@table @code
+@cindex directory path
+@item --directory @var{directory-path}
+@itemx -d @var{directory-path}
+Add @var{directory-path} to the list of directory paths searched when
+Info needs to find a file. You may issue @code{--directory} multiple
+times; once for each directory which contains Info files.
+Alternatively, you may specify a value for the environment variable
+@code{INFOPATH}; if @code{--directory} is not given, the value of
+@code{INFOPATH} is used. The value of @code{INFOPATH} is a colon
+separated list of directory names. If you do not supply @code{INFOPATH}
+or @code{--directory-path}, Info uses a default path.
+
+@item --file @var{filename}
+@itemx -f @var{filename}
+@cindex Info file, selecting
+Specify a particular Info file to visit. By default, Info visits
+the file @code{dir}; if you use this option, Info will start with
+@code{(@var{filename})Top} as the first file and node.
+
+@item --index-search @var{string}
+@cindex index search, selecting
+@cindex online help, using Info as
+Go to the index entry @var{string} in the Info file specified with
+@samp{--file}. If no such entry, print @samp{no entries found} and exit
+with nonzero status. This can used from another program as a way to
+provide online help.
+
+@item --node @var{nodename}
+@itemx -n @var{nodename}
+@cindex node, selecting
+Specify a particular node to visit in the initial file that Info
+loads. This is especially useful in conjunction with
+@code{--file}@footnote{Of course, you can specify both the file and node
+in a @code{--node} command; but don't forget to escape the open and
+close parentheses from the shell as in: @code{info --node
+"(emacs)Buffers"}}. You may specify @code{--node} multiple times; for
+an interactive Info, each @var{nodename} is visited in its own window,
+for a non-interactive Info (such as when @code{--output} is given) each
+@var{nodename} is processed sequentially.
+
+@item --output @var{filename}
+@itemx -o @var{filename}
+@cindex file, outputting to
+@cindex outputting to a file
+Specify @var{filename} as the name of a file to which to direct output.
+Each node that Info visits will be output to @var{filename} instead of
+interactively viewed. A value of @code{-} for @var{filename} specifies
+the standard output.
+
+@item --subnodes
+@cindex @code{--subnodes}, command line option
+This option only has meaning when given in conjunction with
+@code{--output}. It means to recursively output the nodes appearing in
+the menus of each node being output. Menu items which resolve to
+external Info files are not output, and neither are menu items which are
+members of an index. Each node is only output once.
+
+@item --help
+@itemx -h
+Produces a relatively brief description of the available Info options.
+
+@item --version
+@cindex version information
+Prints the version information of Info and exits.
+
+@item @var{menu-item}
+@cindex menu, following
+Info treats its remaining arguments as the names of menu items. The
+first argument is a menu item in the initial node visited, while
+the second argument is a menu item in the first argument's node.
+You can easily move to the node of your choice by specifying the menu
+names which describe the path to that node. For example,
+
+@example
+info emacs buffers
+@end example
+
+@noindent
+first selects the menu item @samp{Emacs} in the node @samp{(dir)Top},
+and then selects the menu item @samp{Buffers} in the node
+@samp{(emacs)Top}.

+@chapter Moving the Cursor
+@cindex cursor, moving
+
+Many people find that reading screens of text page by page is made
+easier when one is able to indicate particular pieces of text with some
+kind of pointing device. Since this is the case, GNU Info (both the
+Emacs and standalone versions) have several commands which allow you to
+move the cursor about the screen. The notation used in this manual to
+describe keystrokes is identical to the notation used within the Emacs
+manual, and the GNU Readline manual. @xref{Characters, , Character
+Conventions, emacs, the GNU Emacs Manual}, if you are unfamiliar with the
+notation.
+
+The following table lists the basic cursor movement commands in Info.
+Each entry consists of the key sequence you should type to execute the
+cursor movement, the @code{M-x}@footnote{@code{M-x} is also a command; it
+invokes @code{execute-extended-command}. @xref{M-x, , Executing an
+extended command, emacs, the GNU Emacs Manual}, for more detailed
+information.} command name (displayed in parentheses), and a short
+description of what the command does. All of the cursor motion commands
+can take an @dfn{numeric} argument (@pxref{Miscellaneous Commands,
+@code{universal-argument}}), to find out how to supply them. With a
+numeric argument, the motion commands are simply executed that
+many times; for example, a numeric argument of 4 given to
+@code{next-line} causes the cursor to move down 4 lines. With a
+negative numeric argument, the motion is reversed; an argument of -4
+given to the @code{next-line} command would cause the cursor to move
+@emph{up} 4 lines.
+
+@table @asis
+@item @code{C-n} (@code{next-line})
+@kindex C-n

+Shift the text in this window up. That is, show more of the node which
+is currently below the bottom of the window. With a numeric argument,
+show that many more lines at the bottom of the window; a numeric
+argument of 4 would shift all of the text in the window up 4 lines
+(discarding the top 4 lines), and show you four new lines at the bottom
+of the window. Without a numeric argument, @key{SPC} takes the bottom

+the screen, and then redraws its entire contents. Given a numeric
+argument of @var{n}, the line containing the cursor is shifted so that

+in the rightmost column of the screen. You can cause such lines to be
+terminated at the rightmost column by changing the state of line
+wrapping in the window with @code{C-x w}. When a line which needs more

+@chapter Selecting a New Node
+@cindex nodes, selection of
+
+This section details the numerous Info commands which select a new node
+to view in the current window.
+
+The most basic node commands are @samp{n}, @samp{p}, @samp{u}, and
+@samp{l}.
+
+When you are viewing a node, the top line of the node contains some Info
+@dfn{pointers} which describe where the next, previous, and up nodes
+are. Info uses this line to move about the node structure of the file
+when you use the following commands:
+
+@table @asis
+@item @code{n} (@code{next-node})
+@kindex n
+@findex next-node
+Select the `Next' node.
+
+@item @code{p} (@code{prev-node})
+@kindex p
+@findex prev-node
+Select the `Prev' node.
+
+@item @code{u} (@code{up-node})
+@kindex u
+@findex up-node
+Select the `Up' node.
+@end table
+
+You can easily select a node that you have already viewed in this window
+by using the @samp{l} command -- this name stands for "last", and
+actually moves through the list of already visited nodes for this
+window. @samp{l} with a negative numeric argument moves forward through
+the history of nodes for this window, so you can quickly step between
+two adjacent (in viewing history) nodes.
+
+@table @asis
+@item @code{l} (@code{history-node})
+@kindex l
+@findex history-node
+Select the most recently selected node in this window.
+@end table
+
+Two additional commands make it easy to select the most commonly
+selected nodes; they are @samp{t} and @samp{d}.
+
+@table @asis
+@item @code{t} (@code{top-node})
+@kindex t
+@findex top-node
+Select the node @samp{Top} in the current Info file.
+
+@item @code{d} (@code{dir-node})
+@kindex d
+@findex dir-node
+Select the directory node (i.e., the node @samp{(dir)}).
+@end table
+
+Here are some other commands which immediately result in the selection
+of a different node in the current window:
+
+@table @asis
+@item @code{<} (@code{first-node})
+@kindex <
+@findex first-node
+Selects the first node which appears in this file. This node is most
+often @samp{Top}, but it does not have to be.
+
+@item @code{>} (@code{last-node})
+@kindex >
+@findex last-node
+Select the last node which appears in this file.
+
+@item @code{]} (@code{global-next-node})
+@kindex ]
+@findex global-next-node
+Move forward or down through node structure. If the node that you are
+currently viewing has a @samp{Next} pointer, that node is selected.
+Otherwise, if this node has a menu, the first menu item is selected. If
+there is no @samp{Next} and no menu, the same process is tried with the
+@samp{Up} node of this node.
+
+@item @code{[} (@code{global-prev-node})
+@kindex [
+@findex global-prev-node
+Move backward or up through node structure. If the node that you are
+currently viewing has a @samp{Prev} pointer, that node is selected.
+Otherwise, if the node has an @samp{Up} pointer, that node is selected,
+and if it has a menu, the last item in the menu is selected.
+@end table
+
+You can get the same behavior as @code{global-next-node} and
+@code{global-prev-node} while simply scrolling through the file with
+@key{SPC} and @key{DEL}; @xref{Variables, @code{scroll-behavior}}, for
+more information.
+
+@table @asis
+@item @code{g} (@code{goto-node})
+@kindex g
+@findex goto-node
+Read the name of a node and select it. No completion is done while
+reading the node name, since the desired node may reside in a separate
+file. The node must be typed exactly as it appears in the Info file. A
+file name may be included as with any node specification, for example
+
+@example
+@code{g(emacs)Buffers}
+@end example
+
+finds the node @samp{Buffers} in the Info file @file{emacs}.
+
+@item @code{C-x k} (@code{kill-node})
+@kindex C-x k
+@findex kill-node
+Kill a node. The node name is prompted for in the echo area, with a
+default of the current node. @dfn{Killing} a node means that Info tries
+hard to forget about it, removing it from the list of history nodes kept
+for the window where that node is found. Another node is selected in
+the window which contained the killed node.
+
+@item @code{C-x C-f} (@code{view-file})
+@kindex C-x C-f
+@findex view-file
+Read the name of a file and selects the entire file. The command
+@example
+@code{C-x C-f @var{filename}}
+@end example
+is equivalent to typing
+@example
+@code{g(@var{filename})*}
+@end example
+
+@item @code{C-x C-b} (@code{list-visited-nodes})
+@kindex C-x C-b
+@findex list-visited-nodes
+Make a window containing a menu of all of the currently visited nodes.
+This window becomes the selected window, and you may use the standard
+Info commands within it.
+
+@item @code{C-x b} (@code{select-visited-node})
+@kindex C-x b
+@findex select-visited-node
+Select a node which has been previously visited in a visible window.
+This is similar to @samp{C-x C-b} followed by @samp{m}, but no window is
+created.

+@chapter Searching an Info File
+@cindex searching
+
+GNU Info allows you to search for a sequence of characters throughout an
+entire Info file, search through the indices of an Info file, or find
+areas within an Info file which discuss a particular topic.
+
+@table @asis
+@item @code{s} (@code{search})
+@kindex s
+@findex search
+Read a string in the echo area and search for it.
+
+@item @code{C-s} (@code{isearch-forward})
+@kindex C-s
+@findex isearch-forward
+Interactively search forward through the Info file for a string as you
+type it.
+
+@item @code{C-r} (@code{isearch-backward})
+@kindex C-r
+@findex isearch-backward
+Interactively search backward through the Info file for a string as
+you type it.
+
+@item @code{i} (@code{index-search})
+@kindex i
+@findex index-search
+Look up a string in the indices for this Info file, and select a node
+where the found index entry points to.
+
+@item @code{,} (@code{next-index-match})
+@kindex ,
+@findex next-index-match
+Move to the node containing the next matching index item from the last
+@samp{i} command.
+@end table
+
+The most basic searching command is @samp{s} (@code{search}). The
+@samp{s} command prompts you for a string in the echo area, and then
+searches the remainder of the Info file for an occurrence of that string.
+If the string is found, the node containing it is selected, and the
+cursor is left positioned at the start of the found string. Subsequent
+@samp{s} commands show you the default search string within @samp{[} and
+@samp{]}; pressing @key{RET} instead of typing a new string will use the
+default search string.
+
+@dfn{Incremental searching} is similar to basic searching, but the
+string is looked up while you are typing it, instead of waiting until
+the entire search string has been specified.
+
+@node Xref Commands, Window Commands, Searching Commands, Top
+@chapter Selecting Cross References
+
+We have already discussed the @samp{Next}, @samp{Prev}, and @samp{Up}
+pointers which appear at the top of a node. In addition to these
+pointers, a node may contain other pointers which refer you to a
+different node, perhaps in another Info file. Such pointers are called
+@dfn{cross references}, or @dfn{xrefs} for short.
+
+@menu
+* Parts of an Xref:: What a cross reference is made of.
+* Selecting Xrefs:: Commands for selecting menu or note items.
+@end menu
+
+@node Parts of an Xref, Selecting Xrefs, , Xref Commands
+@section Parts of an Xref
+
+Cross references have two major parts: the first part is called the
+@dfn{label}; it is the name that you can use to refer to the cross
+reference, and the second is the @dfn{target}; it is the full name of
+the node that the cross reference points to.
+
+The target is separated from the label by a colon @samp{:}; first the
+label appears, and then the target. For example, in the sample menu
+cross reference below, the single colon separates the label from the
+target.
+
+@example
+* Foo Label: Foo Target. More information about Foo.
+@end example
+
+Note the @samp{.} which ends the name of the target. The @samp{.} is
+not part of the target; it serves only to let Info know where the target
+name ends.
+
+A shorthand way of specifying references allows two adjacent colons to
+stand for a target name which is the same as the label name:
+
+@example
+* Foo Commands:: Commands pertaining to Foo.
+@end example
+
+In the above example, the name of the target is the same as the name of
+the label, in this case @code{Foo Commands}.
+
+You will normally see two types of cross reference while viewing nodes:
+@dfn{menu} references, and @dfn{note} references. Menu references
+appear within a node's menu; they begin with a @samp{*} at the beginning
+of a line, and continue with a label, a target, and a comment which
+describes what the contents of the node pointed to contains.
+
+Note references appear within the body of the node text; they begin with
+@code{*Note}, and continue with a label and a target.
+
+Like @samp{Next}, @samp{Prev}, and @samp{Up} pointers, cross references
+can point to any valid node. They are used to refer you to a place
+where more detailed information can be found on a particular subject.
+Here is a cross reference which points to a node within the Texinfo
+documentation: @xref{xref, , Writing an Xref, texinfo, the Texinfo
+Manual}, for more information on creating your own texinfo cross
+references.

+@cindex 1 @dots{} 9, in Info windows
+@kindex 1 @dots{} 9, in Info windows
+@findex menu-digit
+Within an Info window, pressing a single digit, (such as @samp{1}),
+selects that menu item, and places its node in the current window.
+For convenience, there is one exception; pressing @samp{0} selects the
+@emph{last} item in the node's menu.
+
+@item @code{0} (@code{last-menu-item})
+@kindex 0, in Info windows
+@findex last-menu-item

+@kindex m
+@findex menu-item
+Reads the name of a menu item in the echo area and selects its node.
+Completion is available while reading the menu label.
+
+@item @code{M-x find-menu}
+@findex find-menu
+Move the cursor to the start of this node's menu.

+
+@table @asis
+@item @code{f} (@code{xref-item})

+@kindex TAB, in Info windows
+@findex move-to-next-xref
+Move the cursor to the start of the next nearest menu item or note
+reference in this node. You can then use @key{RET}
+(@code{select-reference-this-line}) to select the menu or note reference.
+
+@item @code{M-TAB} (@code{move-to-prev-xref})
+@kindex M-TAB, in Info windows
+@findex move-to-prev-xref
+Move the cursor the start of the nearest previous menu item or note

+@chapter Manipulating Multiple Windows
+@cindex windows, manipulating
+
+A @dfn{window} is a place to show the text of a node. Windows have a
+view area where the text of the node is displayed, and an associated
+@dfn{mode line}, which briefly describes the node being viewed.
+
+GNU Info supports multiple windows appearing in a single screen; each
+window is separated from the next by its modeline. At any time, there
+is only one @dfn{active} window, that is, the window in which the cursor
+appears. There are commands available for creating windows, changing
+the size of windows, selecting which window is active, and for deleting
+windows.
+
+@menu
+* The Mode Line:: What appears in the mode line?
+* Basic Windows:: Manipulating windows in Info.
+* The Echo Area:: Used for displaying errors and reading input.
+@end menu
+
+@node The Mode Line, Basic Windows, , Window Commands
+@section The Mode Line
+
+A @dfn{mode line} is a line of inverse video which appears at the bottom
+of an Info window. It describes the contents of the window just above
+it; this information includes the name of the file and node appearing in
+that window, the number of screen lines it takes to display the node,
+and the percentage of text that is above the top of the window. It can
+also tell you if the indirect tags table for this Info file needs to be
+updated, and whether or not the Info file was compressed when stored on
+disk.
+
+Here is a sample mode line for a window containing an uncompressed file
+named @file{dir}, showing the node @samp{Top}.
+
+@example
+@group
+-----Info: (dir)Top, 40 lines --Top---------------------------------------
+ ^^ ^ ^^^ ^^
+ (file)Node #lines where
+@end group
+@end example
+
+When a node comes from a file which is compressed on disk, this is
+indicated in the mode line with two small @samp{z}'s. In addition, if
+the Info file containing the node has been split into subfiles, the name
+of the subfile containing the node appears in the modeline as well:
+
+@example
+--zz-Info: (emacs)Top, 291 lines --Top-- Subfile: emacs-1.Z---------------
+@end example
+
+When Info makes a node internally, such that there is no corresponding
+info file on disk, the name of the node is surrounded by asterisks
+(@samp{*}). The name itself tells you what the contents of the window
+are; the sample mode line below shows an internally constructed node
+showing possible completions:
+
+@example
+-----Info: *Completions*, 7 lines --All-----------------------------------
+@end example
+
+@node Basic Windows, The Echo Area, The Mode Line, Window Commands

+It can be convenient to view more than one node at a time. To allow

+window (@pxref{Node Commands, , @code{history-node}}).
+
+@table @asis
+@item @code{C-x o} (@code{next-window})
+@cindex windows, selecting
+@kindex C-x o
+@findex next-window
+Select the next window on the screen. Note that the echo area can only be
+selected if it is already in use, and you have left it temporarily.
+Normally, @samp{C-x o} simply moves the cursor into the next window on
+the screen, or if you are already within the last window, into the first
+window on the screen. Given a numeric argument, @samp{C-x o} moves over
+that many windows. A negative argument causes @samp{C-x o} to select
+the previous window on the screen.
+
+@item @code{M-x prev-window}
+@findex prev-window

+@cindex windows, creating
+@kindex C-x 2
+@findex split-window
+Split the current window into two windows, both showing the same node.

+Delete the character behind the cursor.
+
+@item @code{C-g} (@code{echo-area-abort})
+@kindex C-g, in the echo area
+@findex echo-area-abort
+Cancel or quit the current operation. If completion is being read,
+@samp{C-g} discards the text of the input line which does not match any

+
+Sometimes when reading input in the echo area, the command that needed
+input will only accept one of a list of several choices. The choices
+represent the @dfn{possible completions}, and you must respond with one

+Info allows you to abbreviate what you type, only typing as much of the
+response as is necessary to uniquely identify it. In addition, you can
+request Info to fill in as much of the response as is possible; this
+is called @dfn{completion}.

+i.e., all of the choices which begin with @samp{f}. Pressing @key{SPC}
+or @key{TAB} would result in @samp{fo} appearing in the echo area, since
+all of the choices which begin with @samp{f} continue with @samp{o}.
+Now, typing @samp{l} followed by @samp{TAB} results in @samp{foliate}

+You may wish to print out the contents of a node as a quick reference
+document for later use. Info provides you with a command for doing
+this. In general, we recommend that you use @TeX{} to format the

+
+@table @asis
+@item @code{M-x describe-command}
+@cindex functions, describing
+@cindex commands, describing
+@findex describe-command
+Read the name of an Info command in the echo area and then display a
+brief description of what that command does.
+
+@item @code{M-x describe-key}
+@cindex keys, describing
+@findex describe-key
+Read a key sequence in the echo area, and then display the name and
+documentation of the Info command that the key sequence invokes.
+
+@item @code{M-x describe-variable}
+Read the name of a variable in the echo area and then display a brief
+description of what the variable affects.
+
+@item @code{M-x where-is}
+@findex where-is
+Read the name of an Info command in the echo area, and then display
+a key sequence which can be typed in order to invoke that command.
+
+@item @code{C-h} (@code{get-help-window})
+@itemx @code{?}
+@kindex C-h
+@kindex ?, in Info windows
+@findex get-help-window
+Create (or Move into) the window displaying @code{*Help*}, and place
+a node containing a quick reference card into it. This window displays
+the most concise information about GNU Info available.
+
+@item @code{h} (@code{get-info-help-node})
+@kindex h
+@findex get-info-help-node
+Try hard to visit the node @code{(info)Help}. The Info file
+@file{info.texi} distributed with GNU Info contains this node. Of
+course, the file must first be processed with @code{makeinfo}, and then
+placed into the location of your Info directory.
+@end table
+
+Here are the commands for creating a numeric argument:
+
+@table @asis
+@item @code{C-u} (@code{universal-argument})
+@cindex numeric arguments
+@kindex C-u
+@findex universal-argument
+Start (or multiply by 4) the current numeric argument. @samp{C-u} is
+a good way to give a small numeric argument to cursor movement or
+scrolling commands; @samp{C-u C-v} scrolls the screen 4 lines, while
+@samp{C-u C-u C-n} moves the cursor down 16 lines.
+
+@item @code{M-1} (@code{add-digit-to-numeric-arg})
+@itemx @code{M-2} @dots{} @code{M-9}
+@kindex M-1 @dots{} M-9
+@findex add-digit-to-numeric-arg
+Add the digit value of the invoking key to the current numeric
+argument. Once Info is reading a numeric argument, you may just type
+the digits of the argument, without the Meta prefix. For example, you
+might give @samp{C-l} a numeric argument of 32 by typing:
+
+@example
+@kbd{C-u 3 2 C-l}
+@end example
+
+@noindent
+or
+
+@example
+@kbd{M-3 2 C-l}
+@end example
+@end table
+
+@samp{C-g} is used to abort the reading of a multi-character key
+sequence, to cancel lengthy operations (such as multi-file searches) and
+to cancel reading input in the echo area.
+
+@table @asis
+@item @code{C-g} (@code{abort-key})

+@end table
+
+@node Variables, GNU Info Global Index, Miscellaneous Commands, Top
+@chapter Manipulating Variables
+
+GNU Info contains several @dfn{variables} whose values are looked at by
+various Info commands. You can change the values of these variables,
+and thus change the behavior of Info to more closely match your
+environment and Info file reading manner.
+
+@table @asis
+@item @code{M-x set-variable}
+@cindex variables, setting
+@findex set-variable
+Read the name of a variable, and the value for it, in the echo area and
+then set the variable to that value. Completion is available when
+reading the variable name; often, completion is available when reading
+the value to give to the variable, but that depends on the variable
+itself. If a variable does @emph{not} supply multiple choices to
+complete over, it expects a numeric value.
+
+@item @code{M-x describe-variable}
+@cindex variables, describing
+@findex describe-variable
+Read the name of a variable in the echo area and then display a brief
+description of what the variable affects.
+@end table
+
+Here is a list of the variables that you can set in Info.
+
+@table @code
+@item automatic-footnotes
+@vindex automatic-footnotes
+When set to @code{On}, footnotes appear and disappear automatically.
+This variable is @code{On} by default. When a node is selected, a
+window containing the footnotes which appear in that node is created,
+and the footnotes are displayed within the new window. The window that
+Info creates to contain the footnotes is called @samp{*Footnotes*}. If
+a node is selected which contains no footnotes, and a @samp{*Footnotes*}
+window is on the screen, the @samp{*Footnotes*} window is deleted.
+Footnote windows created in this fashion are not automatically tiled so
+that they can use as little of the display as is possible.
+
+@item automatic-tiling
+@vindex automatic-tiling
+When set to @code{On}, creating or deleting a window resizes other
+windows. This variable is @code{Off} by default. Normally, typing
+@samp{C-x 2} divides the current window into two equal parts. When
+@code{automatic-tiling} is set to @code{On}, all of the windows are
+resized automatically, keeping an equal number of lines visible in each
+window. There are exceptions to the automatic tiling; specifically, the
+windows @samp{*Completions*} and @samp{*Footnotes*} are @emph{not}
+resized through automatic tiling; they remain their original size.
+
+@item visible-bell
+@vindex visible-bell
+When set to @code{On}, GNU Info attempts to flash the screen instead of
+ringing the bell. This variable is @code{Off} by default. Of course,
+Info can only flash the screen if the terminal allows it; in the case
+that the terminal does not allow it, the setting of this variable has no
+effect. However, you can make Info perform quietly by setting the
+@code{errors-ring-bell} variable to @code{Off}.
+
+@item errors-ring-bell
+@vindex errors-ring-bell
+When set to @code{On}, errors cause the bell to ring. The default
+setting of this variable is @code{On}.
+
+@item gc-compressed-files
+@vindex gc-compressed-files
+When set to @code{On}, Info garbage collects files which had to be
+uncompressed. The default value of this variable is @code{Off}.
+Whenever a node is visited in Info, the Info file containing that node
+is read into core, and Info reads information about the tags and nodes
+contained in that file. Once the tags information is read by Info, it
+is never forgotten. However, the actual text of the nodes does not need
+to remain in core unless a particular Info window needs it. For
+non-compressed files, the text of the nodes does not remain in core when
+it is no longer in use. But de-compressing a file can be a time
+consuming operation, and so Info tries hard not to do it twice.
+@code{gc-compressed-files} tells Info it is okay to garbage collect the
+text of the nodes of a file which was compressed on disk.
+
+@item show-index-match
+@vindex show-index-match
+When set to @code{On}, the portion of the matched search string is
+highlighted in the message which explains where the matched search
+string was found. The default value of this variable is @code{On}.
+When Info displays the location where an index match was found,
+(@pxref{Searching Commands, , @code{next-index-match}}), the portion of the
+string that you had typed is highlighted by displaying it in the inverse
+case from its surrounding characters.
+
+@item scroll-behavior
+@vindex scroll-behavior
+Control what happens when forward scrolling is requested at the end of
+a node, or when backward scrolling is requested at the beginning of a
+node. The default value for this variable is @code{Continuous}. There
+are three possible values for this variable:
+
+@table @code
+@item Continuous
+Try to get the first item in this node's menu, or failing that, the
+@samp{Next} node, or failing that, the @samp{Next} of the @samp{Up}.
+This behavior is identical to using the @samp{]}
+(@code{global-next-node}) and @samp{[} (@code{global-prev-node})
+commands.
+
+@item Next Only
+Only try to get the @samp{Next} node.
+
+@item Page Only
+Simply give up, changing nothing. If @code{scroll-behavior} is
+@code{Page Only}, no scrolling command can change the node that is being
+viewed.
+@end table
+
+@item scroll-step
+@vindex scroll-step
+The number of lines to scroll when the cursor moves out of the window.
+Scrolling happens automatically if the cursor has moved out of the
+visible portion of the node text when it is time to display. Usually
+the scrolling is done so as to put the cursor on the center line of the
+current window. However, if the variable @code{scroll-step} has a
+nonzero value, Info attempts to scroll the node text by that many lines;
+if that is enough to bring the cursor back into the window, that is what
+is done. The default value of this variable is 0, thus placing the
+cursor (and the text it is attached to) in the center of the window.
+Setting this variable to 1 causes a kind of "smooth scrolling" which
+some people prefer.
+
+@item ISO-Latin
+@cindex ISO Latin characters
+@vindex ISO-Latin
+When set to @code{On}, Info accepts and displays ISO Latin characters.
+By default, Info assumes an ASCII character set. @code{ISO-Latin} tells
+Info that it is running in an environment where the European standard
+character set is in use, and allows you to input such characters to
+Info, as well as display them.

+
+This first part of the Info manual describes how to get around inside
+of Info. The second part of the manual describes various advanced
+Info commands, and how to write an Info as distinct from a Texinfo
+file. The third part is about how to generate Info files from
+Texinfo files.
+
+@iftex
+This manual is primarily designed for use on a computer, so that you can
+try Info commands while reading about them. Reading it on paper is less
+effective, since you must take it on faith that the commands described
+really do what the manual says. By all means go through this manual now
+that you have it; but please try going through the on-line version as
+well.
+
+There are two ways of looking at the online version of this manual:
+
+@enumerate
+@item
+Type @code{info} at your shell's command line. This approach uses a
+small stand-alone program designed just to read Info files.
+
+@item
+Type @code{emacs} at the command line; then type @kbd{C-h i} (Control
+@kbd{h}, followed by @kbd{i}). This approach uses the Info mode of the
+Emacs program, an editor with many other capabilities.
+@end enumerate
+
+In either case, then type @kbd{mInfo} (just the letters), followed by
+@key{RET}---the ``Return'' or ``Enter'' key. At this point, you should
+be ready to follow the instructions in this manual as you read them on
+the screen.
+@c FIXME! (pesch@cygnus.com, 14 dec 1992)
+@c Is it worth worrying about what-if the beginner goes to somebody
+@c else's Emacs session, which already has an Info running in the middle
+@c of something---in which case these simple instructions won't work?

+
+Since your terminal has an unusually small number of lines on its
+screen, it is necessary to give you special advice at the beginning.
+
+If you see the text @samp{--All----} at near the bottom right corner
+of the screen, it means the entire text you are looking at fits on the
+screen. If you see @samp{--Top----} instead, it means that there is
+more text below that does not fit. To move forward through the text

+@comment node-name, next, previous, up
+@section How to use Info
+
+You are talking to the program Info, for reading documentation.
+
+ Right now you are looking at one @dfn{Node} of Information.
+A node contains text describing a specific topic at a specific
+level of detail. This node's topic is ``how to use Info''.
+
+ The top line of a node is its @dfn{header}. This node's header (look at
+it now) says that it is the node named @samp{Help} in the file
+@file{info}. It says that the @samp{Next} node after this one is the node
+called @samp{Help-P}. An advanced Info command lets you go to any node
+whose name you know.
+
+ Besides a @samp{Next}, a node can have a @samp{Previous} or an @samp{Up}.
+This node has a @samp{Previous} but no @samp{Up}, as you can see.
+
+ Now it is time to move on to the @samp{Next} node, named @samp{Help-P}.
+
+>> Type @samp{n} to move there. Type just one character;
+ do not type the quotes and do not type a @key{RET} afterward.
+
+@samp{>>} in the margin means it is really time to try a command.
+
+@node Help-P, Help-^L, Help, Getting Started
+@comment node-name, next, previous, up
+@section Returning to the Previous node
+
+This node is called @samp{Help-P}. The @samp{Previous} node, as you see,
+is @samp{Help}, which is the one you just came from using the @kbd{n}
+command. Another @kbd{n} command now would take you to the next
+node, @samp{Help-^L}.
+
+>> But do not do that yet. First, try the @kbd{p} command, which takes
+ you to the @samp{Previous} node. When you get there, you can do an
+ @kbd{n} again to return here.
+
+ This all probably seems insultingly simple so far, but @emph{do not} be
+led into skimming. Things will get more complicated soon. Also,
+do not try a new command until you are told it is time to. Otherwise,
+you may make Info skip past an important warning that was coming up.
+
+>> Now do an @kbd{n} to get to the node @samp{Help-^L} and learn more.
+
+@node Help-^L, Help-M, Help-P, Getting Started
+@comment node-name, next, previous, up
+@section The Space, Delete, B and ^L commands.
+
+ This node's header tells you that you are now at node @samp{Help-^L}, and
+that @kbd{p} would get you back to @samp{Help-P}. The node's title is
+underlined; it says what the node is about (most nodes have titles).
+
+ This is a big node and it does not all fit on your display screen.
+You can tell that there is more that is not visible because you
+can see the string @samp{--Top-----} rather than @samp{--All----} near
+the bottom right corner of the screen.
+
+ The Space, Delete and @kbd{B} commands exist to allow you to ``move
+around'' in a node that does not all fit on the screen at once.
+Space moves forward, to show what was below the bottom of the screen.
+Delete moves backward, to show what was above the top of the screen
+(there is not anything above the top until you have typed some spaces).
+
+>> Now try typing a Space (afterward, type a Delete to return here).
+
+ When you type the space, the two lines that were at the bottom of
+the screen appear at the top, followed by more lines. Delete takes
+the two lines from the top and moves them to the bottom,
+@emph{usually}, but if there are not a full screen's worth of lines
+above them they may not make it all the way to the bottom.
+
+ If you type Space when there is no more to see, it rings the
+bell and otherwise does nothing. The same goes for Delete when
+the header of the node is visible.
+
+ If your screen is ever garbaged, you can tell Info to print it out
+again by typing @kbd{C-l} (@kbd{Control-L}, that is---hold down ``Control'' and
+type an @key{L} or @kbd{l}).
+
+>> Type @kbd{C-l} now.
+
+ To move back to the beginning of the node you are on, you can type
+a lot of Deletes. You can also type simply @kbd{b} for beginning.
+>> Try that now. (We have put in enough verbiage to push this past
+the first screenful, but screens are so big nowadays that perhaps it
+isn't enough. You may need to shrink your Emacs or Info window.)
+Then come back, with Spaces.
+
+ If your screen is very tall, all of this node might fit at once.
+In that case, "b" won't do anything. Sorry; what can we do?
+
+ You have just learned a considerable number of commands. If you
+want to use one but have trouble remembering which, you should type
+a @key{?} which prints out a brief list of commands. When you are
+finished looking at the list, make it go away by pressing @key{SPC}
+repeatedly.
+
+>> Type a @key{?} now. Press @key{SPC} to see consecutive screenfuls of
+>> the list until finished.
+
+ From now on, you will encounter large nodes without warning, and
+will be expected to know how to use Space and Delete to move
+around in them without being told. Since not all terminals have
+the same size screen, it would be impossible to warn you anyway.

+@comment node-name, next, previous, up
+@section Menus
+
+Menus and the @kbd{m} command
+
+ With only the @kbd{n} and @kbd{p} commands for moving between nodes, nodes
+are restricted to a linear sequence. Menus allow a branching
+structure. A menu is a list of other nodes you can move to. It is
+actually just part of the text of the node formatted specially so that
+Info can interpret it. The beginning of a menu is always identified
+by a line which starts with @samp{* Menu:}. A node contains a menu if and
+only if it has a line in it which starts that way. The only menu you
+can use at any moment is the one in the node you are in. To use a
+menu in any other node, you must move to that node first.
+
+ After the start of the menu, each line that starts with a @samp{*}
+identifies one subtopic. The line usually contains a brief name
+for the subtopic (followed by a @samp{:}), the name of the node that talks
+about that subtopic, and optionally some further description of the
+subtopic. Lines in the menu that do not start with a @samp{*} have no
+special meaning---they are only for the human reader's benefit and do
+not define additional subtopics. Here is an example:
+
+@example
+* Foo: FOO's Node This tells about FOO
+@end example
+
+The subtopic name is Foo, and the node describing it is @samp{FOO's Node}.
+The rest of the line is just for the reader's Information.
+[[ But this line is not a real menu item, simply because there is
+no line above it which starts with @samp{* Menu:}.]]
+
+ When you use a menu to go to another node (in a way that will be
+described soon), what you specify is the subtopic name, the first
+thing in the menu line. Info uses it to find the menu line, extracts
+the node name from it, and goes to that node. The reason that there
+is both a subtopic name and a node name is that the node name must be
+meaningful to the computer and may therefore have to be ugly looking.
+The subtopic name can be chosen just to be convenient for the user to
+specify. Often the node name is convenient for the user to specify
+and so both it and the subtopic name are the same. There is an
+abbreviation for this:
+
+@example
+* Foo:: This tells about FOO
+@end example
+
+@noindent
+This means that the subtopic name and node name are the same; they are
+both @samp{Foo}.
+
+>> Now use Spaces to find the menu in this node, then come back to
+ the front with a @kbd{b} and some Spaces. As you see, a menu is
+ actually visible in its node. If you cannot find a menu in a node
+ by looking at it, then the node does not have a menu and the
+ @kbd{m} command is not available.
+
+ The command to go to one of the subnodes is @kbd{m}---but @emph{do
+not do it yet!} Before you use @kbd{m}, you must understand the
+difference between commands and arguments. So far, you have learned
+several commands that do not need arguments. When you type one, Info
+processes it and is instantly ready for another command. The @kbd{m}
+command is different: it is incomplete without the @dfn{name of the
+subtopic}. Once you have typed @kbd{m}, Info tries to read the
+subtopic name.
+
+ Now look for the line containing many dashes near the bottom of the
+screen. There is one more line beneath that one, but usually it is
+blank. If it is empty, Info is ready for a command, such as @kbd{n}
+or @kbd{b} or Space or @kbd{m}. If that line contains text ending
+in a colon, it mean Info is trying to read the @dfn{argument} to a
+command. At such times, commands do not work, because Info tries to
+use them as the argument. You must either type the argument and
+finish the command you started, or type @kbd{Control-g} to cancel the
+command. When you have done one of those things, the line becomes
+blank again.
+
+ The command to go to a subnode via a menu is @kbd{m}. After you type
+the @kbd{m}, the line at the bottom of the screen says @samp{Menu item: }.
+You must then type the name of the subtopic you want, and end it with
+a @key{RET}.
+
+ You can abbreviate the subtopic name. If the abbreviation is not
+unique, the first matching subtopic is chosen. Some menus put
+the shortest possible abbreviation for each subtopic name in capital
+letters, so you can see how much you need to type. It does not
+matter whether you use upper case or lower case when you type the
+subtopic. You should not put any spaces at the end, or inside of the
+item name, except for one space where a space appears in the item in
+the menu.
+
+ You can also use the @dfn{completion} feature to help enter the subtopic
+name. If you type the Tab key after entering part of a name, it will
+magically fill in more of the name---as much as follows uniquely from
+what you have entered.
+
+ If you move the cursor to one of the menu subtopic lines, then you do
+not need to type the argument: you just type a Return, and it stands for
+the subtopic of the line you are on.
+
+Here is a menu to give you a chance to practice.
+
+* Menu: The menu starts here.
+
+This menu gives you three ways of going to one place, Help-FOO.
+
+* Foo: Help-FOO. A node you can visit for fun.@*
+* Bar: Help-FOO. Strange! two ways to get to the same place.@*
+* Help-FOO:: And yet another!@*
+
+
+>> Now type just an @kbd{m} and see what happens:
+
+ Now you are ``inside'' an @kbd{m} command. Commands cannot be used
+now; the next thing you will type must be the name of a subtopic.
+
+ You can change your mind about doing the @kbd{m} by typing Control-g.
+
+>> Try that now; notice the bottom line clear.
+
+>> Then type another @kbd{m}.
+
+>> Now type @samp{BAR} item name. Do not type Return yet.
+
+ While you are typing the item name, you can use the Delete key to
+cancel one character at a time if you make a mistake.
+
+>> Type one to cancel the @samp{R}. You could type another @samp{R} to
+ replace it. You do not have to, since @samp{BA} is a valid abbreviation.
+
+>> Now you are ready to go. Type a @key{RET}.
+
+ After visiting Help-FOO, you should return here.

+convention---the nodes you reach from a menu have @samp{Up} nodes that lead
+back to the menu. Menus move Down in the tree, and @samp{Up} moves Up.
+@samp{Previous}, on the other hand, is usually used to ``stay on the same
+level but go backwards''
+
+ You can go back to the node @samp{Help-M} by typing the command
+@kbd{u} for ``Up''. That puts you at the @emph{front} of the

+
+ If you have been moving around to different nodes and wish to
+retrace your steps, the @kbd{l} command (@kbd{l} for @dfn{last}) will
+do that, one node-step at a time. As you move from node to node, Info
+records the nodes where you have been in a special history list. The
+@kbd{l} command revisits nodes in the history list; each successive
+@kbd{l} command moves one step back through the history.
+
+ If you have been following directions, ad @kbd{l} command now will get
+you back to @samp{Help-M}. Another @kbd{l} command would undo the
+@kbd{u} and get you back to @samp{Help-FOO}. Another @kbd{l} would undo
+the @kbd{m} and get you back to @samp{Help-M}.
+
+>> Try typing three @kbd{l}'s, pausing in between to see what each
+ @kbd{l} does.
+
+Then follow directions again and you will end up back here.
+
+ Note the difference between @kbd{l} and @kbd{p}: @kbd{l} moves to
+where @emph{you} last were, whereas @kbd{p} always moves to the node
+which the header says is the @samp{Previous} node (from this node, to
+@samp{Help-M}).
+
+ The @samp{d} command gets you instantly to the Directory node.
+This node, which is the first one you saw when you entered Info,
+has a menu which leads (directly, or indirectly through other menus),
+to all the nodes that exist.
+
+>> Try doing a @samp{d}, then do an @kbd{l} to return here (yes,

+Cross references look like this: @xref{Help-Cross, Cross}. That is a
+real, live cross reference which is named @samp{Cross} and points at
+the node named @samp{Help-Cross}.
+
+ If you wish to follow a cross reference, you must use the @samp{f}
+command. The @samp{f} must be followed by the cross reference name
+(in this case, @samp{Cross}). While you enter the name, you can use the
+Delete key to edit your input. If you change your mind about following

+
+>> Type @samp{f}, followed by @samp{Cross}, and a @key{RET}.
+
+ To get a list of all the cross references in the current node, you can

+@section Advanced Info Commands
+
+@kbd{g}, @kbd{s}, @kbd{1}, -- @kbd{9}, and @kbd{e}
+
+If you know a node's name, you can go there by typing @kbd{g}, the
+name, and @key{RET}. Thus, @kbd{gTop@key{RET}} would go to the node
+called @samp{Top} in this file (its directory node).
+@kbd{gExpert@key{RET}} would come back here.
+
+Unlike @kbd{m}, @kbd{g} does not allow the use of abbreviations.
+
+To go to a node in another file, you can include the filename in the
+node name by putting it at the front, in parentheses. Thus,
+@kbd{g(dir)Top@key{RET}} would go to the Info Directory node, which is
+node @samp{Top} in the file @file{dir}.
+
+The node name @samp{*} specifies the whole file. So you can look at
+all of the current file by typing @kbd{g*@key{RET}} or all of any
+other file with @kbd{g(FILENAME)@key{RET}}.
+
+The @kbd{s} command allows you to search a whole file for a string.
+It switches to the next node if and when that is necessary. You
+type @kbd{s} followed by the string to search for, terminated by
+@key{RET}. To search for the same string again, just @kbd{s} followed
+by @key{RET} will do. The file's nodes are scanned in the order
+they are in in the file, which has no necessary relationship to the
+order that they may be in in the tree structure of menus and @samp{next} pointers.
+But normally the two orders are not very different. In any case,
+you can always do a @kbd{b} to find out what node you have reached, if
+the header is not visible (this can happen, because @kbd{s} puts your
+cursor at the occurrence of the string, not at the beginning of the
+node).
+
+If you grudge the system each character of type-in it requires, you
+might like to use the commands @kbd{1}, @kbd{2}, @kbd{3}, @kbd{4}, ...
+@kbd{9}. They are short for the @kbd{m} command together with an
+argument. @kbd{1} goes through the first item in the current node's
+menu; @kbd{2} goes through the second item, etc.
+
+If you display supports multiple fonts, and you are using Emacs' Info
+mode to read Info files, the @samp{*} for the fifth menu item is
+underlines, and so is the @samp{*} for the ninth item; these underlines
+make it easy to see at a glance which number to use for an item.
+
+On ordinary terminals, you won't have underlining. If you need to
+actually count items, it is better to use @kbd{m} instead, and specify
+the name.
+
+The Info command @kbd{e} changes from Info mode to an ordinary
+Emacs editing mode, so that you can edit the text of the current node.
+Type @kbd{C-c C-c} to switch back to Info. The @kbd{e} command is allowed
+only if the variable @code{Info-enable-edit} is non-@code{nil}.
+
+@node Add, Menus, Expert, Advanced Info
+@comment node-name, next, previous, up
+@section Adding a new node to Info
+
+To add a new topic to the list in the Info directory, you must:
+@enumerate
+@item
+Create some nodes, in some file, to document that topic.
+@item
+Put that topic in the menu in the directory. @xref{Menus, Menu}.
+@end enumerate
+
+Usually, the way to create the nodes is with Texinfo @pxref{Top,, Overview of
+Texinfo, texinfo, Texinfo: The GNU Documentation Format}); this has the
+advantage that you can also make a printed manual from them. However,
+if hyou want to edit an Info file, here is how.
+
+ The new node can live in an existing documentation file, or in a new
+one. It must have a @key{^_} character before it (invisible to the
+user; this node has one but you cannot see it), and it ends with either
+a @key{^_}, a @key{^L}, or the end of file. Note: If you put in a
+@key{^L} to end a new node, be sure that there is a @key{^_} after it
+to start the next one, since @key{^L} cannot @emph{start} a node.
+Also, a nicer way to make a node boundary be a page boundary as well
+is to put a @key{^L} @emph{right after} the @key{^_}.
+
+ The @key{^_} starting a node must be followed by a newline or a
+@key{^L} newline, after which comes the node's header line. The
+header line must give the node's name (by which Info finds it),
+and state the names of the @samp{Next}, @samp{Previous}, and @samp{Up} nodes (if
+there are any). As you can see, this node's @samp{Up} node is the node
+@samp{Top}, which points at all the documentation for Info. The @samp{Next}
+node is @samp{Menus}.
+
+ The keywords @dfn{Node}, @dfn{Previous}, @dfn{Up}, and @dfn{Next},
+may appear in any order, anywhere in the header line, but the
+recommended order is the one in this sentence. Each keyword must be
+followed by a colon, spaces and tabs, and then the appropriate name.
+The name may be terminated with a tab, a comma, or a newline. A space
+does not end it; node names may contain spaces. The case of letters
+in the names is insignificant.
+
+ A node name has two forms. A node in the current file is named by
+what appears after the @samp{Node: } in that node's first line. For
+example, this node's name is @samp{Add}. A node in another file is
+named by @samp{(@var{filename})@var{node-within-file}}, as in
+@samp{(info)Add} for this node. If the file name starts with ``./'',
+then it is relative to the current directory; otherwise, it is relative
+starting from the standard Info file directory of your site.
+The name @samp{(@var{filename})Top} can be abbreviated to just
+@samp{(@var{filename})}. By convention, the name @samp{Top} is used for
+the ``highest'' node in any single file---the node whose @samp{Up} points
+out of the file. The Directory node is @file{(dir)}. The @samp{Top} node
+of a document file listed in the Directory should have an @samp{Up:
+(dir)} in it.
+
+ The node name @kbd{*} is special: it refers to the entire file.
+Thus, @kbd{g*} shows you the whole current file. The use of the
+node @kbd{*} is to make it possible to make old-fashioned,
+unstructured files into nodes of the tree.
+
+ The @samp{Node:} name, in which a node states its own name, must not
+contain a filename, since Info when searching for a node does not
+expect one to be there. The @samp{Next}, @samp{Previous} and @samp{Up} names may
+contain them. In this node, since the @samp{Up} node is in the same file,
+it was not necessary to use one.
+
+ Note that the nodes in this file have a file name in the header
+line. The file names are ignored by Info, but they serve as comments
+to help identify the node for the user.
+
+@node Menus, Cross-refs, Add, Advanced Info
+@comment node-name, next, previous, up
+@section How to Create Menus
+
+ Any node in the Info hierarchy may have a @dfn{menu}---a list of subnodes.
+The @kbd{m} command searches the current node's menu for the topic which it
+reads from the terminal.
+
+ A menu begins with a line starting with @samp{* Menu:}. The rest of the
+line is a comment. After the starting line, every line that begins
+with a @samp{* } lists a single topic. The name of the topic--the
+argument that the user must give to the @kbd{m} command to select this
+topic---comes right after the star and space, and is followed by a
+colon, spaces and tabs, and the name of the node which discusses that
+topic. The node name, like node names following @samp{Next}, @samp{Previous}
+and @samp{Up}, may be terminated with a tab, comma, or newline; it may also
+be terminated with a period.
+
+ If the node name and topic name are the same, then rather than
+giving the name twice, the abbreviation @samp{* NAME::} may be used
+(and should be used, whenever possible, as it reduces the visual
+clutter in the menu).
+
+ It is considerate to choose the topic names so that they differ
+from each other very near the beginning---this allows the user to type
+short abbreviations. In a long menu, it is a good idea to capitalize
+the beginning of each item name which is the minimum acceptable
+abbreviation for it (a long menu is more than 5 or so entries).
+
+ The nodes listed in a node's menu are called its ``subnodes'', and
+it is their ``superior''. They should each have an @samp{Up:} pointing at
+the superior. It is often useful to arrange all or most of the
+subnodes in a sequence of @samp{Next} and @samp{Previous} pointers so that someone who
+wants to see them all need not keep revisiting the Menu.
+
+ The Info Directory is simply the menu of the node @samp{(dir)Top}---that
+is, node @samp{Top} in file @file{.../info/dir}. You can put new entries
+in that menu just like any other menu. The Info Directory is @emph{not} the
+same as the file directory called @file{info}. It happens that many of
+Info's files live on that file directory, but they do not have to; and
+files on that directory are not automatically listed in the Info
+Directory node.
+
+ Also, although the Info node graph is claimed to be a ``hierarchy'',
+in fact it can be @emph{any} directed graph. Shared structures and
+pointer cycles are perfectly possible, and can be used if they are
+appropriate to the meaning to be expressed. There is no need for all
+the nodes in a file to form a connected structure. In fact, this file
+has two connected components. You are in one of them, which is under
+the node @samp{Top}; the other contains the node @samp{Help} which the
+@kbd{h} command goes to. In fact, since there is no garbage
+collector, nothing terrible happens if a substructure is not pointed
+to, but such a substructure is rather useless since nobody can
+ever find out that it exists.

+@section Creating Cross References
+
+ A cross reference can be placed anywhere in the text, unlike a menu
+item which must go at the front of a line. A cross reference looks
+like a menu item except that it has @samp{*note} instead of @kbd{*}.
+It @emph{cannot} be terminated by a @samp{)}, because @samp{)}'s are
+so often part of node names. If you wish to enclose a cross reference
+in parentheses, terminate it with a period first. Here are two
+examples of cross references pointers:
+
+@example
+*Note details: commands. (See *note 3: Full Proof.)
+@end example
+
+They are just examples. The places they ``lead to'' do not really exist!
+
+@node Tags, Checking, Cross-refs, Advanced Info
+@comment node-name, next, previous, up
+@section Tag Tables for Info Files
+
+ You can speed up the access to nodes of a large Info file by giving
+it a tag table. Unlike the tag table for a program, the tag table for
+an Info file lives inside the file itself and is used
+automatically whenever Info reads in the file.
+
+ To make a tag table, go to a node in the file using Emacs Info mode and type
+@kbd{M-x Info-tagify}. Then you must use @kbd{C-x C-s} to save the
+file.
+
+ Once the Info file has a tag table, you must make certain it is up
+to date. If, as a result of deletion of text, any node moves back
+more than a thousand characters in the file from the position
+recorded in the tag table, Info will no longer be able to find that
+node. To update the tag table, use the @code{Info-tagify} command again.
+
+ An Info file tag table appears at the end of the file and looks like
+this:
+
+@example
+^_
+Tag Table:
+File: info, Node: Cross-refs^?21419
+File: info, Node: Tags^?22145
+^_
+End Tag Table
+@end example
+
+@noindent
+Note that it contains one line per node, and this line contains
+the beginning of the node's header (ending just after the node name),
+a Delete character, and the character position in the file of the
+beginning of the node.
+
+@node Checking, Emacs Info Variables, Tags, Advanced Info
+@comment node-name, next, previous, up
+@section Checking an Info File
+
+ When creating an Info file, it is easy to forget the name of a node
+when you are making a pointer to it from another node. If you put in
+the wrong name for a node, this is not detected until someone
+tries to go through the pointer using Info. Verification of the Info
+file is an automatic process which checks all pointers to nodes and
+reports any pointers which are invalid. Every @samp{Next}, @samp{Previous}, and
+@samp{Up} is checked, as is every menu item and every cross reference. In
+addition, any @samp{Next} which does not have a @samp{Previous} pointing back is
+reported. Only pointers within the file are checked, because checking
+pointers to other files would be terribly slow. But those are usually
+few.

+@chapter The Macro Facility
+
+This chapter describes the new macro facility.
+
+A @dfn{macro} is a command that you define in terms of other commands.
+It doesn't exist as a @texinfo{} command until you define it as part of
+the input file to @makeinfo{}. Once the command exists, it behaves much
+as any other @texinfo{} command. Macros are a useful way to ease the
+details and tedium of writing a `correct' info file. The following
+sections explain how to write and invoke macros.
+
+@menu
+* How to Use Macros in @texinfo{}::
+ How to use the macro facility.
+
+* Using Macros Recursively::
+ How to write a macro which does (or doesn't) recurse.
+
+* Using @texinfo{} Macros As Arguments::
+ Passing a macro as an argument.
+@end menu
+
+@section How to Use Macros in @texinfo{}
+
+Using macros in @texinfo{} is easy. First you define the macro. After
+that, the macro command is available as a normal @texinfo{} command.
+Here is what a definition looks like:
+
+@example
+@@macro @var{name}@{@var{arg1}, @var{@dots{}} @var{argn}@}
+@var{@texinfo{} commands@dots{}}
+@@end macro
+@end example
+
+The arguments that you specify that the macro takes are expanded with
+the actual parameters used when calling the macro if they are seen
+surrounded by backslashes. For example, here is a definition of
+@code{@@codeitem}, a macro which can be used wherever @code{@@item} can
+be used, but which surrounds its argument with @code{@@code@{@dots{}@}}.
+
+@example
+@@macro codeitem@{item@}
+@@item @@code@{\item\@}
+@@end macro
+@end example
+
+When the macro is expanded, all of the text between the @code{@@macro}
+and @code{@@end macro} is inserted into the document at the expansion
+point, with the actual parameters substituted for the named parameters.
+So, a call to the above macro might look like:
+
+@example
+@@codeitem@{Foo@}
+@end example
+
+and @makeinfo{} would execute the following code:
+
+@example
+@@item @@code@{Foo@}
+@end example
+
+A special case is made for macros which only take a single argument, and
+which are invoked without any brace characters (i.e.,
+@samp{@{}@dots{}@samp{@}}) surrounding an argument; the rest of the line
+is supplied as is as the sole argument to the macro. This special case
+allows one to redefine some standard @texinfo{} commands without
+modifying the input file. Along with the non-recursive action of macro
+invocation, one can easily redefine the sectioning commands to also
+provide index entries:
+
+@example
+@@macro chapter@{name@}
+@@chapter \name\
+@@findex \name\
+@@end macro
+@end example
+
+Thus, the text:
+
+@example
+@@chapter strlen
+@end example
+
+will expand to:
+
+@example
+@@chapter strlen
+@@findex strlen
+@end example
+
+@section Using Macros Recursively
+
+Normally, while a particular macro is executing, any call to that macro
+will be seen as a call to a builtin @texinfo{} command. This allows one
+to redefine a builtin @texinfo{} command as a macro, and then use that
+command within the definition of the macro itself. For example, one
+might wish to make sure that whereever a term was defined with
+@code{@@dfn@{@dots{}@}}, the location of the definition would appear
+in the concept index for the manual. Here is a macro which redefines
+@code{@@dfn} to do just that:
+
+@example
+@@macro dfn@{text@}
+@@dfn@{\text\@}
+@@cpindex \text\
+@@end macro
+@end example
+
+Note that we used the builtin @texinfo{} command @code{@@dfn} within our
+overriding macro definition.
+
+This behaviour itself can be overridden for macro execution by writing a
+special @dfn{macro control command} in the definition of the macro. The
+command is considered special because it doesn't affect the output text
+directly, rather, it affects the way in which the macro is defined. One
+such special command is @code{@@allow-recursion}.
+
+@example
+@@macro silly@{arg@}
+@@allow-recursion
+\arg\
+@@end macro
+@end example
+
+Now @code{@@silly} is a macro that can be used within a call to itself:
+
+@example
+This text @@silly@{@@silly@{some text@}@} is ``some text''.
+@end example

+% @multitable macros
+% Amy Hendrickson, 8/18/94, 3/6/96
+%
+% @multitable ... @end multitable will make as many columns as desired.
+% Contents of each column will wrap at width given in preamble. Width
+% can be specified either with sample text given in a template line,
+% or in percent of \hsize, the current width of text on page.
+
+% Table can continue over pages but will only break between lines.
+
+% To make preamble:
+%
+% Either define widths of columns in terms of percent of \hsize:
+% @multitable @columnfractions .25 .3 .45
+% @item ...
+%
+% Numbers following @columnfractions are the percent of the total
+% current hsize to be used for each column. You may use as many
+% columns as desired.
+
+
+% Or use a template:
+% @multitable {Column 1 template} {Column 2 template} {Column 3 template}
+% @item ...
+% using the widest term desired in each column.
+%
+% For those who want to use more than one line's worth of words in
+% the preamble, break the line within one argument and it
+% will parse correctly, i.e.,
+%
+% @multitable {Column 1 template} {Column 2 template} {Column 3
+% template}
+% Not:
+% @multitable {Column 1 template} {Column 2 template}
+% {Column 3 template}
+
+% Each new table line starts with @item, each subsequent new column
+% starts with @tab. Empty columns may be produced by supplying @tab's
+% with nothing between them for as many times as empty columns are needed,
+% ie, @tab@tab@tab will produce two empty columns.
+
+% @item, @tab, @multitable or @end multitable do not need to be on their
+% own lines, but it will not hurt if they are.
+
+% Sample multitable:
+
+% @multitable {Column 1 template} {Column 2 template} {Column 3 template}
+% @item first col stuff @tab second col stuff @tab third col
+% @item
+% first col stuff
+% @tab
+% second col stuff
+% @tab
+% third col
+% @item first col stuff @tab second col stuff
+% @tab Many paragraphs of text may be used in any column.
+%
+% They will wrap at the width determined by the template.
+% @item@tab@tab This will be in third column.
+% @end multitable
+
+% Default dimensions may be reset by user.
+% @multitableparskip is vertical space between paragraphs in table.
+% @multitableparindent is paragraph indent in table.
+% @multitablecolmargin is horizontal space to be left between columns.
+% @multitablelinespace is space to leave between table items, baseline
+% to baseline.
+% 0pt means it depends on current normal line spacing.

+derived from, but is not the same as, the pronunciation of @TeX{}. In

+on-line information and printed output. This means that instead of
+writing two different documents, one for the on-line help or other on-line
+information and the other for a typeset manual or other printed work, you
+need write only one document. When the work is revised, you need revise
+only one document. (You can read the on-line information, known as an

+@heading Using Texinfo
+@end ifinfo
+
+Using Texinfo, you can create a printed document with the normal
+features of a book, including chapters, sections, cross references,
+and indices. From the same Texinfo source file, you can create a
+menu-driven, on-line Info file with nodes, menus, cross references,
+and indices. You can, if you wish, make the chapters and sections of
+the printed document correspond to the nodes of the on-line
+information; and you use the same cross references and indices for
+both the Info file and the printed work. @cite{The GNU
+Emacs Manual} is a good example of a Texinfo file, as is this manual.@refill
+
+To make a printed document, you process a Texinfo source file with the
+@TeX{} typesetting program. This creates a DVI file that you can
+typeset and print as a book or report. (Note that the Texinfo language
+is completely different from @TeX{}'s usual language, plain @TeX{}.) If
+you do not have @TeX{}, but do have @code{troff} or @code{nroff}, you
+can use the @code{texi2roff} program instead.@refill
+
+To make an Info file, you process a Texinfo source file with the
+@code{makeinfo} utility or Emacs's @code{texinfo-format-buffer} command;
+this creates an Info file that you can install on-line.@refill
+
+@TeX{} and @code{texi2roff} work with many types of printers; similarly,
+Info works with almost every type of computer terminal. This power
+makes Texinfo a general purpose system, but brings with it a constraint,
+which is that a Texinfo file may contain only the customary
+``typewriter'' characters (letters, numbers, spaces, and punctuation
+marks) but no special graphics.@refill
+
+A Texinfo file is a plain @sc{ascii} file containing text and
+@dfn{@@-commands} (words preceded by an @samp{@@}) that tell the
+typesetting and formatting programs what to do. You may edit a
+Texinfo file with any text editor; but it is especially convenient to
+use GNU Emacs since that editor has a special mode, called Texinfo
+mode, that provides various Texinfo-related features. (@xref{Texinfo
+Mode}.)@refill
+
+Before writing a Texinfo source file, you should become familiar with
+the Info documentation reading program and learn about nodes,
+menus, cross references, and the rest. (@inforef{Top, info, info},
+for more information.)@refill
+
+You can use Texinfo to create both on-line help and printed manuals;
+moreover, Texinfo is freely redistributable. For these reasons, Texinfo
+is the format in which documentation for GNU utilities and libraries is
+written.@refill

+@cindex Info files
+
+An Info file is a Texinfo file formatted so that the Info documentation
+reading program can operate on it. (@code{makeinfo}
+and @code{texinfo-format-buffer} are two commands that convert a Texinfo file
+into an Info file.)@refill
+
+Info files are divided into pieces called @dfn{nodes}, each of which
+contains the discussion of one topic. Each node has a name, and
+contains both text for the user to read and pointers to other nodes,
+which are identified by their names. The Info program displays one node
+at a time, and provides commands with which the user can move to other
+related nodes.@refill
+
+@ifinfo
+@inforef{Top, info, info}, for more information about using Info.@refill
+@end ifinfo
+
+Each node of an Info file may have any number of child nodes that
+describe subtopics of the node's topic. The names of child
+nodes are listed in a @dfn{menu} within the parent node; this
+allows you to use certain Info commands to move to one of the child
+nodes. Generally, an Info file is organized like a book. If a node
+is at the logical level of a chapter, its child nodes are at the level
+of sections; likewise, the child nodes of sections are at the level
+of subsections.@refill
+
+All the children of any one parent are linked together in a
+bidirectional chain of `Next' and `Previous' pointers. The `Next'
+pointer provides a link to the next section, and the `Previous' pointer
+provides a link to the previous section. This means that all the nodes
+that are at the level of sections within a chapter are linked together.
+Normally the order in this chain is the same as the order of the
+children in the parent's menu. Each child node records the parent node
+name as its `Up' pointer. The last child has no `Next' pointer, and the
+first child has the parent both as its `Previous' and as its `Up'
+pointer.@footnote{In some documents, the first child has no `Previous'
+pointer. Occasionally, the last child has the node name of the next
+following higher level node as its `Next' pointer.}@refill
+
+The book-like structuring of an Info file into nodes that correspond
+to chapters, sections, and the like is a matter of convention, not a
+requirement. The `Up', `Previous', and `Next' pointers of a node can
+point to any other nodes, and a menu can contain any other nodes.
+Thus, the node structure can be any directed graph. But it is usually
+more comprehensible to follow a structure that corresponds to the
+structure of chapters and sections in a printed book or report.@refill
+
+In addition to menus and to `Next', `Previous', and `Up' pointers, Info
+provides pointers of another kind, called references, that can be
+sprinkled throughout the text. This is usually the best way to
+represent links that do not fit a hierarchical structure.@refill
+
+Usually, you will design a document so that its nodes match the
+structure of chapters and sections in the printed output. But
+occasionally there are times when this is not right for the material
+being discussed. Therefore, Texinfo uses separate commands to specify
+the node structure for the Info file and the section structure for the
+printed output.@refill
+
+Generally, you enter an Info file through a node that by convention is
+named `Top'. This node normally contains just a brief summary of the
+file's purpose, and a large menu through which the rest of the file is
+reached. From this node, you can either traverse the file
+systematically by going from node to node, or you can go to a specific
+node listed in the main menu, or you can search the index menus and then
+go directly to the node that has the information you want. Alternatively,
+with the standalone Info program, you can specify specific menu items on
+the command line (@pxref{Top,,, info, Info}).
+
+If you want to read through an Info file in sequence, as if it were a
+printed manual, you can hit @key{SPC} repeatedly, or you get the whole
+file with the advanced Info command @kbd{g *}. (@inforef{Expert,
+Advanced Info commands, info}.)@refill

+A Texinfo file can be formatted and typeset as a printed book or manual.
+To do this, you need @TeX{}, a powerful, sophisticated typesetting
+program written by Donald Knuth.@footnote{You can also use the
+@code{texi2roff} program if you do not have @TeX{}; since Texinfo is
+designed for use with @TeX{}, @code{texi2roff} is not described here.
+@code{texi2roff} is not part of the standard GNU distribution.}
+
+A Texinfo-based book is similar to any other typeset, printed work: it
+can have a title page, copyright page, table of contents, and preface,
+as well as chapters, numbered or unnumbered sections and subsections,
+page headers, cross references, footnotes, and indices.@refill
+
+You can use Texinfo to write a book without ever having the intention
+of converting it into on-line information. You can use Texinfo for
+writing a printed novel, and even to write a printed memo, although
+this latter application is not recommended since electronic mail is so
+much easier.@refill
+
+@TeX{} is a general purpose typesetting program. Texinfo provides a
+file called @file{texinfo.tex} that contains information (definitions or
+@dfn{macros}) that @TeX{} uses when it typesets a Texinfo file.
+(@file{texinfo.tex} tells @TeX{} how to convert the Texinfo @@-commands
+to @TeX{} commands, which @TeX{} can then process to create the typeset
+document.) @file{texinfo.tex} contains the specifications for printing
+a document.@refill
+
+Most often, documents are printed on 8.5 inch by 11 inch
+pages (216@dmn{mm} by 280@dmn{mm}; this is the default size), but you
+can also print for 7 inch by 9.25 inch pages (178@dmn{mm} by
+235@dmn{mm}; the @code{@@smallbook} size) or on European A4 size paper
+(@code{@@afourpaper}). (@xref{smallbook, , Printing ``Small'' Books}.
+Also, see @ref{A4 Paper, ,Printing on A4 Paper}.)@refill
+
+By changing the parameters in @file{texinfo.tex}, you can change the
+size of the printed document. In addition, you can change the style in
+which the printed document is formatted; for example, you can change the
+sizes and fonts used, the amount of indentation for each paragraph, the
+degree to which words are hyphenated, and the like. By changing the
+specifications, you can make a book look dignified, old and serious, or
+light-hearted, young and cheery.@refill
+
+@TeX{} is freely distributable. It is written in a superset of Pascal
+called WEB and can be compiled either in Pascal or (by using a
+conversion program that comes with the @TeX{} distribution) in C.
+(@xref{TeX Mode, ,@TeX{} Mode, emacs, The GNU Emacs Manual}, for information
+about @TeX{}.)@refill
+
+@TeX{} is very powerful and has a great many features. Because a
+Texinfo file must be able to present information both on a
+character-only terminal in Info form and in a typeset book, the
+formatting commands that Texinfo supports are necessarily
+limited.@refill

+@cindex Formatting commands
+
+In a Texinfo file, the commands that tell @TeX{} how to typeset the
+printed manual and tell @code{makeinfo} and
+@code{texinfo-format-buffer} how to create an Info file are preceded
+by @samp{@@}; they are called @dfn{@@-commands}. For example,
+@code{@@node} is the command to indicate a node and @code{@@chapter}
+is the command to indicate the start of a chapter.@refill
+
+@quotation
+@strong{Please note:} All the @@-commands, with the exception of the
+@code{@@TeX@{@}} command, must be written entirely in lower
+case.@refill
+@end quotation
+
+The Texinfo @@-commands are a strictly limited set of constructs. The
+strict limits make it possible for Texinfo files to be understood both
+by @TeX{} and by the code that converts them into Info files. You can
+display Info files on any terminal that displays alphabetic and
+numeric characters. Similarly, you can print the output generated by
+@TeX{} on a wide variety of printers.@refill
+
+Depending on what they do or what arguments@footnote{The word
+@dfn{argument} comes from the way it is used in mathematics and does
+not refer to a disputation between two people; it refers to the
+information presented to the command. According to the @cite{Oxford
+English Dictionary}, the word derives from the Latin for @dfn{to make
+clear, prove}; thus it came to mean `the evidence offered as proof',
+which is to say, `the information offered', which led to its
+mathematical meaning. In its other thread of derivation, the word
+came to mean `to assert in a manner against which others may make
+counter assertions', which led to the meaning of `argument' as a
+disputation.} they take, you need to write @@-commands on lines of
+their own or as part of sentences:@refill
+
+@itemize @bullet
+@item
+Write a command such as @code{@@noindent} at the beginning of a line as
+the only text on the line. (@code{@@noindent} prevents the beginning of
+the next line from being indented as the beginning of a
+paragraph.)@refill
+
+@item
+Write a command such as @code{@@chapter} at the beginning of a line
+followed by the command's arguments, in this case the chapter title, on
+the rest of the line. (@code{@@chapter} creates chapter titles.)@refill
+
+@item
+Write a command such as @code{@@dots@{@}} wherever you wish but usually
+within a sentence. (@code{@@dots@{@}} creates dots @dots{})@refill
+

+Write a command such as @code{@@code@{@var{sample-code}@}} wherever you
+wish (but usually within a sentence) with its argument,

+marks text as being code.)@refill
+
+@item
+Write a command such as @code{@@example} at the beginning of a line of
+its own; write the body-text on following lines; and write the matching
+@code{@@end} command, @code{@@end example} in this case, at the

+@dots{} @code{@@end example} indents and typesets body-text as an

+@cindex Braces, when to use
+As a general rule, a command requires braces if it mingles among other
+text; but it does not need braces if it starts a line of its own. The
+non-alphabetic commands, such as @code{@@:}, are exceptions to the rule;
+they do not need braces.@refill
+
+As you gain experience with Texinfo, you will rapidly learn how to
+write the different commands: the different ways to write commands
+make it easier to write and read Texinfo files than if all commands
+followed exactly the same syntax. (For details about @@-command

+
+All printable @sc{ascii} characters except @samp{@@}, @samp{@{} and
+@samp{@}} can appear in a Texinfo file and stand for themselves.
+@samp{@@} is the escape character which introduces commands.
+@samp{@{} and @samp{@}} should be used only to surround arguments to
+certain commands. To put one of these special characters into the
+document, put an @samp{@@} character in front of it, like this:
+@samp{@@@@}, @samp{@@@{}, and @samp{@@@}}.@refill
+
+@ifinfo
+It is customary in @TeX{} to use doubled single-quote characters to
+begin and end quotations: ` ` and ' ' (but without a space between the
+two single-quote characters). This convention should be followed in
+Texinfo files. @TeX{} converts doubled single-quote characters to
+left- and right-hand doubled quotation marks and Info converts doubled
+single-quote characters to @sc{ascii} double-quotes: ` ` and ' ' to " .@refill
+@end ifinfo
+@iftex
+It is customary in @TeX{} to use doubled single-quote characters to
+begin and end quotations: @w{@tt{ `` }} and @w{@tt{ '' }}. This
+convention should be followed in Texinfo files. @TeX{} converts
+doubled single-quote characters to left- and right-hand doubled
+quotation marks, ``like this'', and Info converts doubled single-quote
+characters to @sc{ascii} double-quotes: @w{@tt{ `` }} and
+@w{@tt{ '' }} to @w{@tt{ " }}.@refill
+@end iftex
+
+Use three hyphens in a row, @samp{---}, for a dash---like this. In
+@TeX{}, a single or double hyphen produces a printed dash that is
+shorter than the usual typeset dash. Info reduces three hyphens to two
+for display on the screen.
+
+To prevent a paragraph from being indented in the printed manual, put
+the command @code{@@noindent} on a line by itself before the
+paragraph.@refill
+
+If you mark off a region of the Texinfo file with the @code{@@iftex}
+and @w{@code{@@end iftex}} commands, that region will appear only in
+the printed copy; in that region, you can use certain commands
+borrowed from plain @TeX{} that you cannot use in Info. Likewise, if
+you mark off a region with the @code{@@ifinfo} and @code{@@end ifinfo}
+commands, that region will appear only in the Info file; in that
+region, you can use Info commands that you cannot use in @TeX{}.
+Similarly for @code{@@ifhtml @dots{} @@end ifhtml},
+@code{@@ifnothtml @dots{} @@end ifnothtml},
+@code{@@ifnotinfo @dots{} @@end ifnotinfo},

+
+@cindex Tabs; don't use!
+@quotation
+@strong{Caution:} Do not use tabs in a Texinfo file! @TeX{} uses
+variable-width fonts, which means that it cannot predefine a tab to work
+in all circumstances. Consequently, @TeX{} treats tabs like single
+spaces, and that is not what they look like. Furthermore,
+@code{makeinfo} does nothing special with tabs, and thus a tab character
+in your input file may appear differently in the output.
+
+@noindent
+To avoid this problem, Texinfo mode causes GNU Emacs to insert multiple
+spaces when you press the @key{TAB} key.@refill

+Also, you can run @code{untabify} in Emacs to convert tabs in a region
+to multiple spaces.@refill

+@code{@@comment} command (which may be abbreviated to @code{@@c}).
+Such comments are for the person who reads the Texinfo file. All the
+text on a line that follows either @code{@@comment} or @code{@@c} is a
+comment; the rest of the line does not appear in either the Info file
+or the printed manual. (Often, you can write the @code{@@comment} or
+@code{@@c} in the middle of a line, and only the text that follows after
+the @code{@@comment} or @code{@@c} command does not appear; but some
+commands, such as @code{@@settitle} and @code{@@setfilename}, work on a

+of its own, starting each command at the beginning of the line. Text
+between these two commands does not appear in the processed output.
+You can use @code{@@ignore} and @code{@@end ignore} for writing

+Text enclosed by @code{@@ignore} or by failing @code{@@ifset} or

+contribute to the formatted output. However, TeX and makeinfo must
+still parse the ignored text, in order to understand when to

+The @code{@@bye} line at the end of the file on a line of its own tells

+@cindex GNU Emacs
+@cindex Emacs
+
+You may edit a Texinfo file with any text editor you choose. A Texinfo
+file is no different from any other @sc{ascii} file. However, GNU Emacs
+comes with a special mode, called Texinfo
+mode, that provides Emacs commands and tools to help ease your work.@refill
+
+This chapter describes features of GNU Emacs' Texinfo mode but not any
+features of the Texinfo formatting language. If you are reading this
+manual straight through from the beginning, you may want to skim through
+this chapter briefly and come back to it after reading succeeding
+chapters which describe the Texinfo formatting language in
+detail.@refill

+@node Emacs Editing, Inserting, Texinfo Mode Overview, Texinfo Mode
+@section The Usual GNU Emacs Editing Commands
+
+In most cases, the usual Text mode commands work the same in Texinfo
+mode as they do in Text mode. Texinfo mode adds new editing commands
+and tools to GNU Emacs' general purpose editing features. The major
+difference concerns filling. In Texinfo mode, the paragraph
+separation variable and syntax table are redefined so that Texinfo
+commands that should be on lines of their own are not inadvertently
+included in paragraphs. Thus, the @kbd{M-q} (@code{fill-paragraph})
+command will refill a paragraph but not mix an indexing command on a
+line adjacent to it into the paragraph.@refill
+
+In addition, Texinfo mode sets the @code{page-delimiter} variable to
+the value of @code{texinfo-chapter-level-regexp}; by default, this is
+a regular expression matching the commands for chapters and their
+equivalents, such as appendices. With this value for the page
+delimiter, you can jump from chapter title to chapter title with the
+@kbd{C-x ]} (@code{forward-page}) and @kbd{C-x [}
+(@code{backward-page}) commands and narrow to a chapter with the
+@kbd{C-x p} (@code{narrow-to-page}) command. (@xref{Pages, , ,emacs,
+The GNU Emacs Manual}, for details about the page commands.)@refill
+
+You may name a Texinfo file however you wish, but the convention is to
+end a Texinfo file name with one of the three extensions
+@file{.texinfo}, @file{.texi}, or @file{.tex}. A longer extension is
+preferred, since it is explicit, but a shorter extension may be
+necessary for operating systems that limit the length of file names.
+GNU Emacs automatically enters Texinfo mode when you visit a file with
+a @file{.texinfo} or @file{.texi}
+extension. Also, Emacs switches to Texinfo mode
+when you visit a
+file that has @samp{-*-texinfo-*-} in its first line. If ever you are
+in another mode and wish to switch to Texinfo mode, type @code{M-x
+texinfo-mode}.@refill
+
+Like all other Emacs features, you can customize or enhance Texinfo
+mode as you wish. In particular, the keybindings are very easy to
+change. The keybindings described here are the default or standard
+ones.@refill

+@cindex Commands, inserting them
+
+Texinfo mode provides commands to insert various frequently used
+@@-commands into the buffer. You can use these commands to save
+keystrokes.@refill
+
+The insert commands are invoked by typing @kbd{C-c} twice and then the
+first letter of the @@-command:@refill
+
+@table @kbd
+@item C-c C-c c
+@itemx M-x texinfo-insert-@@code

+@itemx M-x texinfo-insert-@@end
+@findex texinfo-insert-@@end
+Insert @code{@@end} and attempt to insert the correct following word,
+such as @samp{example} or @samp{table}. (This command does not handle
+nested lists correctly, but inserts the word appropriate to the
+immediately preceding list.)@refill

+
+@item C-c C-c @}
+@itemx C-c C-c ]
+@itemx M-x up-list
+@findex up-list
+Move from between a pair of braces forward past the closing brace.
+Typing @kbd{C-c C-c ]} is easier than typing @kbd{C-c C-c @}}, which
+is, however, more mnemonic; hence the two keybindings. (Also, you can
+move out from between braces by typing @kbd{C-f}.)@refill
+@end table
+
+To put a command such as @w{@code{@@code@{@dots{}@}}} around an
+@emph{existing} word, position the cursor in front of the word and type
+@kbd{C-u 1 C-c C-c c}. This makes it easy to edit existing plain text.
+The value of the prefix argument tells Emacs how many words following
+point to include between braces---@samp{1} for one word, @samp{2} for
+two words, and so on. Use a negative argument to enclose the previous
+word or words. If you do not specify a prefix argument, Emacs inserts
+the @@-command string and positions the cursor between the braces. This
+feature works only for those @@-commands that operate on a word or words
+within one line, such as @code{@@kbd} and @code{@@var}.@refill
+
+This set of insert commands was created after analyzing the frequency
+with which different @@-commands are used in the @cite{GNU Emacs
+Manual} and the @cite{GDB Manual}. If you wish to add your own insert
+commands, you can bind a keyboard macro to a key, use abbreviations,
+or extend the code in @file{texinfo.el}.@refill
+
+@findex texinfo-start-menu-description
+@cindex Menu description, start
+@cindex Description for menu, start
+@kbd{C-c C-c C-d} (@code{texinfo-start-menu-description}) is an insert
+command that works differently from the other insert commands. It
+inserts a node's section or chapter title in the space for the
+description in a menu entry line. (A menu entry has three parts, the
+entry name, the node name, and the description. Only the node name is
+required, but a description helps explain what the node is about.
+@xref{Menu Parts, , The Parts of a Menu}.)@refill
+
+To use @code{texinfo-start-menu-description}, position point in a menu
+entry line and type @kbd{C-c C-c C-d}. The command looks for and copies
+the title that goes with the node name, and inserts the title as a
+description; it positions point at beginning of the inserted text so you
+can edit it. The function does not insert the title if the menu entry
+line already contains a description.@refill
+
+This command is only an aid to writing descriptions; it does not do the
+whole job. You must edit the inserted text since a title tends to use
+the same words as a node name but a useful description uses different
+words.@refill

+You can show the section structure of a Texinfo file by using the

+shows the section structure of a Texinfo file by listing the lines
+that begin with the @@-commands for @code{@@chapter},
+@code{@@section}, and the like. It constructs what amounts
+to a table of contents. These lines are displayed in another buffer
+called the @samp{*Occur*} buffer. In that buffer, you can position
+the cursor over one of the lines and use the @kbd{C-c C-c} command
+(@code{occur-mode-goto-occurrence}), to jump to the corresponding spot
+in the Texinfo file.@refill

+Go to the line in the Texinfo file corresponding to the line under the
+cursor in the @file{*Occur*} buffer.@refill
+@end table
+
+If you call @code{texinfo-show-structure} with a prefix argument by
+typing @w{@kbd{C-u C-c C-s}}, it will list not only those lines with the
+@@-commands for @code{@@chapter}, @code{@@section}, and the like,
+but also the @code{@@node} lines. (This is how the
+@code{texinfo-show-structure} command worked without an argument in
+the first version of Texinfo. It was changed because @code{@@node}
+lines clutter up the @samp{*Occur*} buffer and are usually not
+needed.) You can use @code{texinfo-show-structure} with a prefix
+argument to check whether the `Next', `Previous', and `Up' pointers of
+an @code{@@node} line are correct.@refill
+
+Often, when you are working on a manual, you will be interested only
+in the structure of the current chapter. In this case, you can mark
+off the region of the buffer that you are interested in by using the
+@kbd{C-x n n} (@code{narrow-to-region}) command and
+@code{texinfo-show-structure} will work on only that region. To see
+the whole buffer again, use @w{@kbd{C-x n w}} (@code{widen}).

+Texinfo mode provides commands for automatically creating or updating
+menus and node pointers. The commands are called ``update'' commands
+because their most frequent use is for updating a Texinfo file after

+`Previous', and `Up' pointers into an @code{@@node} line that has none and to

+
+You can use the updating commands@refill
+
+@itemize @bullet
+@item
+to insert or update the `Next', `Previous', and `Up' pointers of a
+node,@refill
+
+@item
+to insert or update the menu for a section, and@refill
+
+@item
+to create a master menu for a Texinfo source file.@refill
+@end itemize
+
+You can also use the commands to update all the nodes and menus in a
+region or in a whole Texinfo file.@refill
+
+The updating commands work only with conventional Texinfo files, which
+are structured hierarchically like books. In such files, a structuring
+command line must follow closely after each @code{@@node} line, except
+for the `Top' @code{@@node} line. (A @dfn{structuring command line} is
+a line beginning with @code{@@chapter}, @code{@@section}, or other
+similar command.)
+
+You can write the structuring command line on the line that follows
+immediately after an @code{@@node} line or else on the line that
+follows after a single @code{@@comment} line or a single
+@code{@@ifinfo} line. You cannot interpose more than one line between
+the @code{@@node} line and the structuring command line; and you may
+interpose only an @code{@@comment} line or an @code{@@ifinfo} line.
+
+Commands which work on a whole buffer require that the `Top' node be
+followed by a node with an @code{@@chapter} or equivalent-level command.
+Note that the menu updating commands will not create a main or master
+menu for a Texinfo file that has only @code{@@chapter}-level nodes! The
+menu updating commands only create menus @emph{within} nodes for lower level
+nodes. To create a menu of chapters, you must provide a `Top'
+node.@refill
+
+The menu updating commands remove menu entries that refer to other Info
+files since they do not refer to nodes within the current buffer. This
+is a deficiency. Rather than use menu entries, you can use cross
+references to refer to other Info files. None of the updating commands
+affect cross references.@refill
+
+Texinfo mode has five updating commands that are used most often: two
+are for updating the node pointers or menu of a single node (or a
+region); two are for updating every node pointer and menu in a file;
+and one, the @code{texinfo-master-menu} command, is for creating a
+master menu for a complete file, and optionally, for updating every
+node and menu in the whole Texinfo file.@refill
+
+The @code{texinfo-master-menu} command is the primary command:@refill
+
+@table @kbd
+@item C-c C-u m
+@itemx M-x texinfo-master-menu
+@findex texinfo-master-menu
+Create or update a master menu that includes all the other menus
+(incorporating the descriptions from pre-existing menus, if
+any).@refill
+
+With an argument (prefix argument, @kbd{C-u,} if interactive), first create or
+update all the nodes and all the regular menus in the buffer before
+constructing the master menu. (@xref{The Top Node, , The Top Node and
+Master Menu}, for more about a master menu.)@refill
+
+For @code{texinfo-master-menu} to work, the Texinfo file must have a
+`Top' node and at least one subsequent node.@refill
+
+After extensively editing a Texinfo file, you can type the following:
+
+@example
+C-u M-x texinfo-master-menu
+@exdent or
+C-u C-c C-u m
+@end example
+
+@noindent
+This updates all the nodes and menus completely and all at once.@refill
+@end table
+
+The other major updating commands do smaller jobs and are designed for
+the person who updates nodes and menus as he or she writes a Texinfo
+file.@refill
+
+@need 1000
+The commands are:@refill
+
+@table @kbd
+@item C-c C-u C-n
+@itemx M-x texinfo-update-node
+@findex texinfo-update-node
+Insert the `Next', `Previous', and `Up' pointers for the node that point is
+within (i.e., for the @code{@@node} line preceding point). If the
+@code{@@node} line has pre-existing `Next', `Previous', or `Up'
+pointers in it, the old pointers are removed and new ones inserted.
+With an argument (prefix argument, @kbd{C-u}, if interactive), this command
+updates all @code{@@node} lines in the region (which is the text
+between point and mark).@refill
+
+@item C-c C-u C-m
+@itemx M-x texinfo-make-menu
+@findex texinfo-make-menu
+Create or update the menu in the node that point is within.
+With an argument (@kbd{C-u} as prefix argument, if
+interactive), the command makes or updates menus for the
+nodes which are either within or a part of the
+region.@refill
+
+Whenever @code{texinfo-make-menu} updates an existing menu, the
+descriptions from that menu are incorporated into the new menu. This
+is done by copying descriptions from the existing menu to the entries
+in the new menu that have the same node names. If the node names are
+different, the descriptions are not copied to the new menu.@refill
+
+@item C-c C-u C-e
+@itemx M-x texinfo-every-node-update
+@findex texinfo-every-node-update
+Insert or update the `Next', `Previous', and `Up' pointers for every
+node in the buffer.@refill
+
+@item C-c C-u C-a
+@itemx M-x texinfo-all-menus-update
+@findex texinfo-all-menus-update
+Create or update all the menus in the buffer. With an argument
+(@kbd{C-u} as prefix argument, if interactive), first insert
+or update all the node
+pointers before working on the menus.@refill
+
+If a master menu exists, the @code{texinfo-all-menus-update} command
+updates it; but the command does not create a new master menu if none
+already exists. (Use the @code{texinfo-master-menu} command for
+that.)@refill
+
+When working on a document that does not merit a master menu, you can
+type the following:
+
+@example
+C-u C-c C-u C-a
+@exdent or
+C-u M-x texinfo-all-menus-update
+@end example
+
+@noindent
+This updates all the nodes and menus.@refill
+@end table
+
+The @code{texinfo-column-for-description} variable specifies the
+column to which menu descriptions are indented. By default, the value
+is 32 although it is often useful to reduce it to as low as 24. You
+can set the variable with the @kbd{M-x edit-options} command
+(@pxref{Edit Options, , Editing Variable Values, emacs, The GNU Emacs
+Manual}) or with the @kbd{M-x set-variable} command (@pxref{Examining,
+, Examining and Setting Variables, emacs, The GNU Emacs
+Manual}).@refill
+
+Also, the @code{texinfo-indent-menu-description} command may be used to
+indent existing menu descriptions to a specified column. Finally, if
+you wish, you can use the @code{texinfo-insert-node-lines} command to
+insert missing @code{@@node} lines into a file. (@xref{Other Updating
+Commands}, for more information.)@refill

+@comment node-name, next, previous, up
+@subsection Updating Requirements
+@cindex Updating requirements
+@cindex Requirements for updating commands
+
+To use the updating commands, you must organize the Texinfo file
+hierarchically with chapters, sections, subsections, and the like.
+When you construct the hierarchy of the manual, do not `jump down'
+more than one level at a time: you can follow the `Top' node with a
+chapter, but not with a section; you can follow a chapter with a
+section, but not with a subsection. However, you may `jump up' any
+number of levels at one time---for example, from a subsection to a
+chapter.@refill
+
+Each @code{@@node} line, with the exception of the line for the `Top'
+node, must be followed by a line with a structuring command such as
+@code{@@chapter}, @code{@@section}, or
+@code{@@unnumberedsubsec}.@refill
+
+Each @code{@@node} line/structuring-command line combination
+must look either like this:@refill
+
+@example
+@group
+@@node Comments, Minimum, Conventions, Overview
+@@comment node-name, next, previous, up
+@@section Comments
+@end group
+@end example
+
+or like this (without the @code{@@comment} line):
+
+@example
+@group
+@@node Comments, Minimum, Conventions, Overview
+@@section Comments
+@end group
+@end example
+
+@noindent
+In this example, `Comments' is the name of both the node and the
+section. The next node is called `Minimum' and the previous node is
+called `Conventions'. The `Comments' section is within the `Overview'
+node, which is specified by the `Up' pointer. (Instead of an
+@code{@@comment} line, you can write an @code{@@ifinfo} line.)@refill
+
+If a file has a `Top' node, it must be called @samp{top} or @samp{Top}
+and be the first node in the file.@refill
+
+The menu updating commands create a menu of sections within a chapter,
+a menu of subsections within a section, and so on. This means that
+you must have a `Top' node if you want a menu of chapters.@refill
+
+Incidentally, the @code{makeinfo} command will create an Info file for
+a hierarchically organized Texinfo file that lacks `Next', `Previous'
+and `Up' pointers. Thus, if you can be sure that your Texinfo file
+will be formatted with @code{makeinfo}, you have no need for the
+`update node' commands. (@xref{Create an Info File, , Creating an
+Info File}, for more information about @code{makeinfo}.) However,
+both @code{makeinfo} and the @code{texinfo-format-@dots{}} commands
+require that you insert menus in the file.@refill

+In addition to the five major updating commands, Texinfo mode
+possesses several less frequently used updating commands:@refill
+
+@table @kbd
+@item M-x texinfo-insert-node-lines
+@findex texinfo-insert-node-lines
+Insert @code{@@node} lines before the @code{@@chapter},
+@code{@@section}, and other sectioning commands wherever they are
+missing throughout a region in a Texinfo file.@refill
+
+With an argument (@kbd{C-u} as prefix argument, if interactive), the
+@code{texinfo-insert-node-lines} command not only inserts
+@code{@@node} lines but also inserts the chapter or section titles as
+the names of the corresponding nodes. In addition, it inserts the
+titles as node names in pre-existing @code{@@node} lines that lack
+names. Since node names should be more concise than section or
+chapter titles, you must manually edit node names so inserted.@refill
+
+For example, the following marks a whole buffer as a region and inserts
+@code{@@node} lines and titles throughout:@refill
+
+@example
+C-x h C-u M-x texinfo-insert-node-lines
+@end example
+
+(Note that this command inserts titles as node names in @code{@@node}
+lines; the @code{texinfo-start-menu-description} command
+(@pxref{Inserting, Inserting Frequently Used Commands}) inserts titles
+as descriptions in menu entries, a different action. However, in both
+cases, you need to edit the inserted text.)@refill
+
+@item M-x texinfo-multiple-files-update
+@findex texinfo-multiple-files-update @r{(in brief)}
+Update nodes and menus in a document built from several separate files.
+With @kbd{C-u} as a prefix argument, create and insert a master menu in
+the outer file. With a numeric prefix argument, such as @kbd{C-u 2}, first
+update all the menus and all the `Next', `Previous', and `Up' pointers
+of all the included files before creating and inserting a master menu in
+the outer file. The @code{texinfo-multiple-files-update} command is
+described in the appendix on @code{@@include} files.
+@ifinfo
+@xref{texinfo-multiple-files-update}.@refill
+@end ifinfo
+@iftex
+@xref{texinfo-multiple-files-update, ,
+@code{texinfo-multiple-files-update}}.@refill
+@end iftex
+
+@item M-x texinfo-indent-menu-description
+@findex texinfo-indent-menu-description
+Indent every description in the menu following point to the specified
+column. You can use this command to give yourself more space for
+descriptions. With an argument (@kbd{C-u} as prefix argument, if
+interactive), the @code{texinfo-indent-menu-description} command indents
+every description in every menu in the region. However, this command
+does not indent the second and subsequent lines of a multi-line
+description.@refill
+
+@item M-x texinfo-sequential-node-update
+@findex texinfo-sequential-node-update
+Insert the names of the nodes immediately following and preceding the
+current node as the `Next' or `Previous' pointers regardless of those
+nodes' hierarchical level. This means that the `Next' node of a
+subsection may well be the next chapter. Sequentially ordered nodes are
+useful for novels and other documents that you read through
+sequentially. (However, in Info, the @kbd{g *} command lets
+you look through the file sequentially, so sequentially ordered nodes
+are not strictly necessary.) With an argument (prefix argument, if
+interactive), the @code{texinfo-sequential-node-update} command
+sequentially updates all the nodes in the region.@refill

+@cindex Running an Info formatter
+@cindex Info formatting
+
+Texinfo mode provides several commands for formatting part or all of a
+Texinfo file for Info. Often, when you are writing a document, you
+want to format only part of a file---that is, a region.@refill
+
+You can use either the @code{texinfo-format-region} or the
+@code{makeinfo-region} command to format a region:@refill
+
+@table @kbd
+@findex texinfo-format-region
+@item C-c C-e C-r
+@itemx M-x texinfo-format-region
+@itemx C-c C-m C-r
+@itemx M-x makeinfo-region
+Format the current region for Info.@refill
+@end table
+
+You can use either the @code{texinfo-format-buffer} or the
+@code{makeinfo-buffer} command to format a whole buffer:@refill
+
+@table @kbd
+@findex texinfo-format-buffer
+@item C-c C-e C-b
+@itemx M-x texinfo-format-buffer
+@itemx C-c C-m C-b
+@itemx M-x makeinfo-buffer
+Format the current buffer for Info.@refill
+@end table
+
+@need 1000
+For example, after writing a Texinfo file, you can type the following:
+
+@example
+C-u C-c C-u m
+@exdent or
+C-u M-x texinfo-master-menu
+@end example
+
+@noindent
+This updates all the nodes and menus. Then type the following to create
+an Info file:
+
+@example
+C-c C-m C-b
+@exdent or
+M-x makeinfo-buffer
+@end example
+
+For @TeX{} or the Info formatting commands to work, the file @emph{must}
+include a line that has @code{@@setfilename} in its header.@refill

+@cindex Printing a region or buffer
+@cindex Region formatting and printing
+@cindex Buffer formatting and printing
+@cindex Part of file formatting and printing
+
+Typesetting and printing a Texinfo file is a multi-step process in which
+you first create a file for printing (called a DVI file), and then
+print the file. Optionally, you may also create indices. To do this,
+you must run the @code{texindex} command after first running the
+@code{tex} typesetting command; and then you must run the @code{tex}
+command again. Or else run the @code{texi2dvi} command which
+automatically creates indices as needed.@refill
+
+Often, when you are writing a document, you want to typeset and print
+only part of a file to see what it will look like. You can use the
+@code{texinfo-tex-region} and related commands for this purpose. Use
+the @code{texinfo-tex-buffer} command to format all of a
+buffer.@refill
+
+@table @kbd
+@item C-c C-t C-b
+@itemx M-x texinfo-tex-buffer
+@findex texinfo-tex-buffer
+Run @code{texi2dvi} on the buffer. In addition to running @TeX{} on the
+buffer, this command automatically creates or updates indices as
+needed.@refill
+
+@item C-c C-t C-r
+@itemx M-x texinfo-tex-region
+@findex texinfo-tex-region
+Run @TeX{} on the region.@refill
+
+@item C-c C-t C-i
+@itemx M-x texinfo-texindex
+Run @code{texindex} to sort the indices of a Texinfo file formatted with
+@code{texinfo-tex-region}. The @code{texinfo-tex-region} command does
+not run @code{texindex} automatically; it only runs the @code{tex}
+typesetting command. You must run the @code{texinfo-tex-region} command
+a second time after sorting the raw index files with the @code{texindex}
+command. (Usually, you do not format an index when you format a region,
+only when you format a buffer. Now that the @code{texi2dvi} command
+exists, there is little or no need for this command.)@refill
+
+@item C-c C-t C-p
+@itemx M-x texinfo-tex-print
+@findex texinfo-tex-print
+Print the file (or the part of the file) previously formatted with

+@end table
+
+For @code{texinfo-tex-region} or @code{texinfo-tex-buffer} to work, the
+file @emph{must} start with a @samp{\input texinfo} line and must
+include an @code{@@settitle} line. The file must end with @code{@@bye}
+on a line by itself. (When you use @code{texinfo-tex-region}, you must
+surround the @code{@@settitle} line with start-of-header and
+end-of-header lines.)@refill

+@section Texinfo Mode Summary
+
+In Texinfo mode, each set of commands has default keybindings that
+begin with the same keys. All the commands that are custom-created
+for Texinfo mode begin with @kbd{C-c}. The keys are somewhat
+mnemonic.@refill
+
+@subheading Insert Commands
+
+The insert commands are invoked by typing @kbd{C-c} twice and then the
+first letter of the @@-command to be inserted. (It might make more
+sense mnemonically to use @kbd{C-c C-i}, for `custom insert', but
+@kbd{C-c C-c} is quick to type.)@refill
+
+@example
+C-c C-c c @r{Insert} @samp{@@code}.
+C-c C-c d @r{Insert} @samp{@@dfn}.
+C-c C-c e @r{Insert} @samp{@@end}.
+C-c C-c i @r{Insert} @samp{@@item}.
+C-c C-c n @r{Insert} @samp{@@node}.
+C-c C-c s @r{Insert} @samp{@@samp}.
+C-c C-c v @r{Insert} @samp{@@var}.
+C-c C-c @{ @r{Insert braces.}
+C-c C-c ]
+C-c C-c @} @r{Move out of enclosing braces.}

+C-c C-c C-d @r{Insert a node's section title}
+ @r{in the space for the description}
+ @r{in a menu entry line.}
+@end group
+@end example
+
+@subheading Show Structure
+
+The @code{texinfo-show-structure} command is often used within a
+narrowed region.@refill
+
+@example
+C-c C-s @r{List all the headings.}
+@end example
+
+@subheading The Master Update Command
+
+The @code{texinfo-master-menu} command creates a master menu; and can
+be used to update every node and menu in a file as well.@refill
+
+@example
+@group
+C-c C-u m
+M-x texinfo-master-menu
+ @r{Create or update a master menu.}
+@end group
+
+@group
+C-u C-c C-u m @r{With @kbd{C-u} as a prefix argument, first}
+ @r{create or update all nodes and regular}
+ @r{menus, and then create a master menu.}
+@end group
+@end example
+
+@subheading Update Pointers
+
+The update pointer commands are invoked by typing @kbd{C-c C-u} and
+then either @kbd{C-n} for @code{texinfo-update-node} or @kbd{C-e} for
+@code{texinfo-every-node-update}.@refill
+
+@example
+C-c C-u C-n @r{Update a node.}
+C-c C-u C-e @r{Update every node in the buffer.}
+@end example
+
+@subheading Update Menus
+
+Invoke the update menu commands by typing @kbd{C-c C-u}
+and then either @kbd{C-m} for @code{texinfo-make-menu} or
+@kbd{C-a} for @code{texinfo-all-menus-update}. To update
+both nodes and menus at the same time, precede @kbd{C-c C-u
+C-a} with @kbd{C-u}.@refill
+
+@example
+C-c C-u C-m @r{Make or update a menu.}
+
+@group
+C-c C-u C-a @r{Make or update all}
+ @r{menus in a buffer.}
+@end group
+
+@group
+C-u C-c C-u C-a @r{With @kbd{C-u} as a prefix argument,}
+ @r{first create or update all nodes and}
+ @r{then create or update all menus.}
+@end group
+@end example
+
+@subheading Format for Info
+
+The Info formatting commands that are written in Emacs Lisp are
+invoked by typing @kbd{C-c C-e} and then either @kbd{C-r} for a region
+or @kbd{C-b} for the whole buffer.@refill
+
+The Info formatting commands that are written in C and based on the
+@code{makeinfo} program are invoked by typing @kbd{C-c C-m} and then
+either @kbd{C-r} for a region or @kbd{C-b} for the whole buffer.@refill
+
+@need 800
+@noindent
+Use the @code{texinfo-format@dots{}} commands:
+
+@example
+@group
+C-c C-e C-r @r{Format the region.}
+C-c C-e C-b @r{Format the buffer.}
+@end group
+@end example
+
+@need 750
+@noindent
+Use @code{makeinfo}:
+
+@example
+C-c C-m C-r @r{Format the region.}
+C-c C-m C-b @r{Format the buffer.}
+C-c C-m C-l @r{Recenter the @code{makeinfo} output buffer.}
+C-c C-m C-k @r{Kill the @code{makeinfo} formatting job.}
+@end example
+
+@subheading Typeset and Print
+
+The @TeX{} typesetting and printing commands are invoked by typing
+@kbd{C-c C-t} and then another control command: @kbd{C-r} for
+@code{texinfo-tex-region}, @kbd{C-b} for @code{texinfo-tex-buffer},
+and so on.@refill
+
+@example
+C-c C-t C-r @r{Run @TeX{} on the region.}
+C-c C-t C-b @r{Run} @code{texi2dvi} @r{on the buffer.}
+C-c C-t C-i @r{Run} @code{texindex}.
+C-c C-t C-p @r{Print the DVI file.}
+C-c C-t C-q @r{Show the print queue.}
+C-c C-t C-d @r{Delete a job from the print queue.}
+C-c C-t C-k @r{Kill the current @TeX{} formatting job.}
+C-c C-t C-x @r{Quit a currently stopped @TeX{} formatting job.}
+C-c C-t C-l @r{Recenter the output buffer.}
+@end example
+
+@subheading Other Updating Commands
+
+The `other updating commands' do not have standard keybindings because
+they are rarely used.

+This line serves two functions:

+When the file is processed by @TeX{}, the @samp{\input texinfo} command

+These are in a file called @file{texinfo.tex}, which is usually located

+@samp{\}, to mark the beginning of a command, just as Texinfo uses
+@samp{@@}. The @file{texinfo.tex} file causes the switch from @samp{\}
+to @samp{@@}; before the switch occurs, @TeX{} requires @samp{\}, which
+is why it appears at the beginning of the file.@refill

+as @code{@@smallbook} or @code{@@footnotestyle}; and then by an
+end-of-header line (@pxref{End of Header}).@refill
+
+With these lines, you can format part of a Texinfo file for Info or
+typeset part for printing.@refill
+
+A start-of-header line looks like this:@refill
+
+@example
+@@c %**start of header
+@end example
+
+The odd string of characters, @samp{%**}, is to ensure that no other

+@subsection @code{@@setfilename}
+@cindex Info file requires @code{@@setfilename}
+@findex setfilename
+
+In order to serve as the primary input file for either @code{makeinfo}
+or @TeX{}, a Texinfo file must contain a line that looks like this:
+
+@example
+@@setfilename @var{info-file-name}
+@end example
+
+Write the @code{@@setfilename} command at the beginning of a line and
+follow it on the same line by the Info file name. Do not write anything
+else on the line; anything on the line after the command is considered
+part of the file name, including what would otherwise be a
+comment.
+
+The @code{@@setfilename} line specifies the name of the Info file to be
+generated. This name should be different from the name of the Texinfo
+file. There are two conventions for choosing the name: you can either
+remove the @samp{.texi} extension from the input file name, or replace
+it with the @samp{.info} extension.
+
+Some operating systems cannot handle long file names. You can run into
+a problem even when the file name you specify is itself short enough.
+This occurs because the Info formatters split a long Info file into
+short indirect subfiles, and name them by appending @samp{-1},
+@samp{-2}, @dots{}, @samp{-10}, @samp{-11}, and so on, to the original
+file name. (@xref{Tag and Split Files, , Tag Files and Split Files}.)
+The subfile name @file{texinfo.info-10}, for example, is too long for
+some systems; so the Info file name for this document is @file{texinfo}
+rather than @file{texinfo.info}.
+
+@cindex Ignored before @code{@@setfilename}
+The Info formatting commands ignore everything written before the
+@code{@@setfilename} line, which is why the very first line of
+the file (the @code{\input} line) does not show up in the output.
+
+@pindex texinfo.cnf
+The @code{@@setfilename} line produces no output when you typeset a
+manual with @TeX{}, but it nevertheless is essential: it opens the
+index, cross-reference, and other auxiliary files used by Texinfo, and
+also reads @file{texinfo.cnf} if that file is present on your system
+(@pxref{Preparing for TeX,, Preparing to Use @TeX{}}).

+
+@example
+@@settitle @var{title}
+@end example
+
+Write the @code{@@settitle} command at the beginning of a line and

+to use in a header or footer. Do not write anything else on the line;
+anything on the line after the command is considered part of the
+title, including a comment.@refill
+
+Conventionally, when @TeX{} formats a Texinfo file for double-sided
+output, the title is printed in the left-hand (even-numbered) page
+headings and the current chapter title is printed in the right-hand

+In a book or a manual, text is usually printed on both sides of the
+paper, chapters start on right-hand pages, and right-hand pages have
+odd numbers. But in short reports, text often is printed only on one
+side of the paper. Also in short reports, chapters sometimes do not
+start on new pages, but are printed on the same page as the end of the
+preceding chapter, after a small amount of vertical whitespace.@refill
+
+You can use the @code{@@setchapternewpage} command with various
+arguments to specify how @TeX{} should start chapters and whether it
+should typeset pages for printing on one or both sides of the paper
+(single-sided or double-sided printing).@refill
+
+Write the @code{@@setchapternewpage} command at the beginning of a
+line followed by its argument.@refill
+
+For example, you would write the following to cause each chapter to
+start on a fresh odd-numbered page:@refill

+You can specify one of three alternatives with the
+@code{@@setchapternewpage} command:@refill
+
+@table @asis
+@ignore
+@item No @code{@@setchapternewpage} command
+If the Texinfo file does not contain an @code{@@setchapternewpage}
+command before the @code{@@titlepage} command, @TeX{} automatically
+begins chapters on new pages and prints headings in the standard
+format for single-sided printing. This is the conventional format for
+single-sided printing.@refill
+
+The result is exactly the same as when you write
+@code{@@setchapternewpage on}.@refill
+@end ignore
+@item @code{@@setchapternewpage off}
+Cause @TeX{} to typeset a new chapter on the same page as the last
+chapter, after skipping some vertical whitespace. Also, cause @TeX{} to
+format page headers for single-sided printing. (You can override the
+headers format with the @code{@@headings double} command; see
+@ref{headings on off, , The @code{@@headings} Command}.)@refill
+
+@item @code{@@setchapternewpage on}
+Cause @TeX{} to start new chapters on new pages and to typeset page

+used for short reports.@refill
+
+This alternative is the default.@refill
+
+@item @code{@@setchapternewpage odd}
+Cause @TeX{} to start new chapters on new, odd-numbered pages
+(right-handed pages) and to typeset for double-sided printing. This is
+the form most often used for books and manuals.@refill

+Texinfo provides two main methods for creating a title page. One method
+uses the @code{@@titlefont}, @code{@@sp}, and @code{@@center} commands
+to generate a title page in which the words on the page are

+of the actual formatting of the title page. You specify the text
+you want, and Texinfo does the formatting. You may use either
+method.@refill

+This is a @TeX{} command that is not supported by the Info formatting

+The @code{@@headings} command is rarely used. It specifies what kind of

+@code{@@headings} command only if the @code{@@setchapternewpage} command
+does not do what you want, or if you want to turn off pre-defined page
+headings prior to defining your own. Write an @code{@@headings} command

+@end table
+
+For example, suppose you write @code{@@setchapternewpage off} before the
+@code{@@titlepage} command to tell @TeX{} to start a new chapter on the
+same page as the end of the last chapter. This command also causes
+@TeX{} to typeset page headers for single-sided printing. To cause
+@TeX{} to typeset for double sided printing, write @code{@@headings
+double} after the @code{@@end titlepage} command.
+
+You can stop @TeX{} from generating any page headings at all by
+writing @code{@@headings off} on a line of its own immediately after the

+
+@example
+@@end titlepage

+
+A @dfn{master menu} is a detailed main menu listing all the nodes in a
+file.
+
+A master menu is enclosed in @code{@@menu} and @code{@@end menu}
+commands and does not appear in the printed document.@refill
+
+Generally, a master menu is divided into parts.@refill
+
+@itemize @bullet
+@item
+The first part contains the major nodes in the Texinfo file: the nodes
+for the chapters, chapter-like sections, and the appendices.@refill
+
+@item
+The second part contains nodes for the indices.@refill
+
+@item
+The third and subsequent parts contain a listing of the other, lower
+level nodes, often ordered by chapter. This way, rather than go
+through an intermediary menu, an inquirer can go directly to a
+particular node when searching for specific information. These menu
+items are not required; add them if you think they are a
+convenience. If you do use them, put @code{@@detailmenu} before the
+first one, and @code{@@end detailmenu} after the last; otherwise,
+@code{makeinfo} will get confused.
+@end itemize
+
+Each section in the menu can be introduced by a descriptive line. So
+long as the line does not begin with an asterisk, it will not be
+treated as a menu entry. (@xref{Writing a Menu}, for more
+information.)@refill
+
+For example, the master menu for this manual looks like the following
+(but has many more entries):@refill
+
+@example

+
+To print an index means to include it as part of a manual or Info
+file. This does not happen automatically just because you use
+@code{@@cindex} or other index-entry generating commands in the
+Texinfo file; those just cause the raw data for the index to be
+accumulated. To generate an index, you must include the
+@code{@@printindex} command at the place in the document where you
+want the index to appear. Also, as part of the process of creating a
+printed manual, you must run a program called @code{texindex}
+(@pxref{Format/Print Hardcopy}) to sort the raw data to produce a sorted
+index file. The sorted index file is what is actually used to
+print the index.@refill
+
+Texinfo offers six different types of predefined index: the concept
+index, the function index, the variables index, the keystroke index, the
+program index, and the data type index (@pxref{Predefined Indices}). Each
+index type has a two-letter name: @samp{cp}, @samp{fn}, @samp{vr},
+@samp{ky}, @samp{pg}, and @samp{tp}. You may merge indices, or put them
+into separate sections (@pxref{Combining Indices}); or you may define
+your own indices (@pxref{New Indices, , Defining New Indices}).@refill
+
+The @code{@@printindex} command takes a two-letter index name, reads
+the corresponding sorted index file and formats it appropriately into
+an index.@refill
+
+@ignore
+The two-letter index names are:
+
+@table @samp
+@item cp
+concept index
+@item fn
+function index
+@item vr
+variable index
+@item ky
+key index
+@item pg
+program index
+@item tp
+data type index
+@end table
+@end ignore
+The @code{@@printindex} command does not generate a chapter heading
+for the index. Consequently, you should precede the
+@code{@@printindex} command with a suitable section or chapter command
+(usually @code{@@unnumbered}) to supply the chapter heading and put
+the index into the table of contents. Precede the @code{@@unnumbered}
+command with an @code{@@node} line.@refill
+

+@item @@contents
+Generate a table of contents in a printed manual, including all

+Generate a short or summary table of contents that lists only the

+
+Write the @code{@@shortcontents} command on a line by itself right
+@emph{before} the @code{@@contents} command.@refill
+@end table
+
+The table of contents commands automatically generate a chapter-like
+heading at the top of the first table of contents page. Write the table
+of contents commands at the very end of a Texinfo file, just before the
+@code{@@bye} command, following any index sections---anything in the
+Texinfo file after the table of contents commands will be omitted from
+the table of contents.@refill
+
+When you print a manual with a table of contents, the table of
+contents are printed last and numbered with roman numerals. You need
+to place those pages in their proper place, after the title page,
+yourself. (This is the only collating you need to do for a printed
+manual. The table of contents is printed last because it is generated
+after the rest of the manual is typeset.)@refill

+
+@example
+@group
+@var{indices}@dots{}

+
+If you wish, you may follow the @code{@@bye} line with notes. These notes

+@dfn{Nodes} are the primary segments of a Texinfo file. They do not
+themselves impose a hierarchic or any other kind of structure on a file.
+Nodes contain @dfn{node pointers} that name other nodes, and can contain
+@dfn{menus} which are lists of nodes. In Info, the movement commands
+can carry you to a pointed-to node or to a node listed in a menu. Node
+pointers and menus provide structure for Info files just as chapters,

+
+You can use node pointers and menus to structure an Info file any way
+you want; and you can write a Texinfo file so that its Info output has a
+different structure than its printed output. However, most Texinfo
+files are written such that the structure for the Info output
+corresponds to the structure for the printed output. It is not
+convenient to do otherwise.@refill
+
+Generally, printed output is structured in a tree-like hierarchy in

+A @dfn{node} is a segment of text that begins at an @code{@@node}
+command and continues until the next @code{@@node} command. The
+definition of node is different from that for chapter or section. A
+chapter may contain sections and a section may contain subsections;
+but a node cannot contain subnodes; the text of a node continues only
+until the next @code{@@node} command in the file. A node usually
+contains only one chapter structuring command, the one that follows
+the @code{@@node} line. On the other hand, in printed output nodes
+are used only for cross references, so a chapter or section may
+contain any number of nodes. Indeed, a chapter usually contains
+several nodes, one for each section, subsection, and
+subsubsection.@refill
+
+To create a node, write an @code{@@node} command at the beginning of a
+line, and follow it with four arguments, separated by commas, on the
+rest of the same line. These arguments are the name of the node, and
+the names of the `Next', `Previous', and `Up' pointers, in that order.
+You may insert spaces before each pointer if you wish; the spaces are
+ignored. You must write the name of the node, and the names of the
+`Next', `Previous', and `Up' pointers, all on the same line. Otherwise,
+the formatters fail. (@inforef{Top, info, info}, for more information
+about nodes in Info.)@refill

+The name of a node identifies the node. The pointers enable
+you to reach other nodes and consist of the names of those nodes.@refill
+
+Normally, a node's `Up' pointer contains the name of the node whose menu
+mentions that node. The node's `Next' pointer contains the name of the
+node that follows that node in that menu and its `Previous' pointer
+contains the name of the node that precedes it in that menu. When a

+@cindex Writing an @code{@@node} line
+@cindex @code{@@node} line writing
+@cindex Node line writing
+
+The easiest way to write an @code{@@node} line is to write @code{@@node}
+at the beginning of a line and then the name of the node, like
+this:@refill
+
+@example
+@@node @var{node-name}
+@end example
+
+If you are using GNU Emacs, you can use the update node commands
+provided by Texinfo mode to insert the names of the pointers; or you
+can leave the pointers out of the Texinfo file and let @code{makeinfo}
+insert node pointers into the Info file it creates. (@xref{Texinfo
+Mode}, and @ref{makeinfo Pointer Creation}.)@refill
+
+Alternatively, you can insert the `Next', `Previous', and `Up'
+pointers yourself. If you do this, you may find it helpful to use the
+Texinfo mode keyboard command @kbd{C-c C-c n}. This command inserts
+@samp{@@node} and a comment line listing the names of the pointers in
+their proper order. The comment line helps you keep track of which
+arguments are for which pointers. This comment line is especially useful
+if you are not familiar with Texinfo.@refill
+
+The template for a node line with `Next', `Previous', and `Up' pointers
+looks like this:@refill
+
+@example
+@@node @var{node-name}, @var{next}, @var{previous}, @var{up}
+@end example
+
+If you wish, you can ignore @code{@@node} lines altogether in your first
+draft and then use the @code{texinfo-insert-node-lines} command to
+create @code{@@node} lines for you. However, we do not
+recommend this practice. It is better to name the node itself
+at the same time that you
+write a segment so you can easily make cross references. A large number
+of cross references are an especially important feature of a good Info
+file.@refill
+
+After you have inserted an @code{@@node} line, you should immediately
+write an @@-command for the chapter or section and insert its name.
+Next (and this is important!), put in several index entries. Usually,
+you will find at least two and often as many as four or five ways of
+referring to the node in the index. Use them all. This will make it
+much easier for people to find the node.@refill

+All the node names for a single Info file must be unique.@refill

+Duplicates confuse the Info movement commands. This means, for

+each summary node differently. You cannot just call each one
+``Summary''. You may, however, duplicate the titles of chapters, sections,

+(@pxref{Top Node Summary}).
+
+@cindex Up node of Top node
+@cindex (dir) as Up node of Top node
+The Top node (which must be named @samp{top} or @samp{Top}) should have
+as its `Up' node the name of a node in another file, where there is a
+menu that leads to this file. Specify the file name in parentheses. If
+the file is to be installed directly in the Info directory file, use
+@samp{(dir)} as the parent of the Top node; this is short for
+@samp{(dir)top}, and specifies the Top node in the @file{dir} file,
+which contains the main menu for the Info system as a whole. For

+A special sectioning command, @code{@@top}, has been created for use

+@code{makeinfo} that it marks the `Top' node in the file. It provides
+the information that @code{makeinfo} needs to insert node
+pointers automatically. Write the @code{@@top} command at the

+In Info, the @code{@@top} sectioning command causes the title to appear on a

+
+In @TeX{} and @code{texinfo-format-buffer}, the @code{@@top}
+sectioning command is merely a synonym for @code{@@unnumbered}.
+Neither of these formatters require an @code{@@top} command, and do
+nothing special with it. You can use @code{@@chapter} or
+@code{@@unnumbered} after the @code{@@node Top} line when you use
+these formatters. Also, you can use @code{@@chapter} or

+
+You can help readers by writing a summary in the `Top' node, after the

+briefly describe the document. In Info, this summary will appear just
+before the master menu. In a printed manual, this summary will appear
+on a page of its own.@refill
+
+If you do not want the summary to appear on a page of its own in a
+printed manual, you can enclose the whole of the `Top' node, including
+the @code{@@node Top} line and the @code{@@top} sectioning command line
+or other sectioning command line between @code{@@ifinfo} and @code{@@end
+ifinfo}. This prevents any of the text from appearing in the printed

+@dots{} @code{@@end iftex} at the beginning of the first chapter, for
+those who read the printed manual. This saves paper and may look
+neater.@refill
+
+You should write the version number of the program to which the manual
+applies in the summary. This helps the reader keep track of which
+manual is for which version of the program. If the manual changes more

+font, and this change would not effect how keystroke examples are
+highlighted. If straight typesetting commands were used in the body

+
+Use the @code{@@code} command to indicate text that is a piece of a
+program and which consists of entire syntactic tokens. Enclose the
+text in braces.@refill
+
+Thus, you should use @code{@@code} for an expression in a program, for
+the name of a variable or function used in a program, or for a
+keyword. Also, you should use @code{@@code} for the name of a
+program, such as @code{diff}, that is a name used in the machine. (You
+should write the name of a program in the ordinary text font if you
+regard it as a new English word, such as `Emacs' or `Bison'.)@refill
+
+Use @code{@@code} for environment variables such as @code{TEXINPUTS},
+and other variables.@refill
+
+Use @code{@@code} for command names in command languages that
+resemble programming languages, such as Texinfo or the shell.
+For example, @code{@@code} and @code{@@samp} are produced by writing
+@samp{@@code@{@@@@code@}} and @samp{@@code@{@@@@samp@}} in the Texinfo
+source, respectively.@refill
+
+Note, however, that you should not use @code{@@code} for shell options
+such as @samp{-c} when such options stand alone. (Use @code{@@samp}.)
+Also, an entire shell command often looks better if written using
+@code{@@samp} rather than @code{@@code}. In this case, the rule is to
+choose the more pleasing format.@refill
+
+It is incorrect to alter the case of a word inside an @code{@@code}
+command when it appears at the beginning of a sentence. Most computer
+languages are case sensitive. In C, for example, @code{Printf} is
+different from the identifier @code{printf}, and most likely is a
+misspelling of it. Even in languages which are not case sensitive, it
+is confusing to a human reader to see identifiers spelled in different
+ways. Pick one spelling and always use that. If you do not want to
+start a sentence with a command written all in lower case, you should
+rearrange the sentence.@refill
+
+Do not use the @code{@@code} command for a string of characters shorter
+than a syntactic token. If you are writing about @samp{TEXINPU}, which
+is just a part of the name for the @code{TEXINPUTS} environment
+variable, you should use @code{@@samp}.@refill
+
+In particular, you should not use the @code{@@code} command when writing
+about the characters used in a token; do not, for example, use
+@code{@@code} when you are explaining what letters or printable symbols
+can be used in the names of functions. (Use @code{@@samp}.) Also, you
+should not use @code{@@code} to mark text that is considered input to
+programs unless the input is written in a language that is like a
+programming language. For example, you should not use @code{@@code} for
+the keystroke commands of GNU Emacs (use @code{@@kbd} instead) although
+you may use @code{@@code} for the names of the Emacs Lisp functions that
+the keystroke commands invoke.@refill
+
+In the printed manual, @code{@@code} causes @TeX{} to typeset the
+argument in a typewriter face. In the Info file, it causes the Info
+formatting commands to use single quotation marks around the text.

+normal typewriter) in the printed manual, so users can distinguish the
+characters they are supposed to type from those the computer outputs.
+
+@findex kbdinputstyle
+Since the usage of @code{@@kbd} varies from manual to manual, you can
+control the font switching with the @code{@@kbdinputstyle} command.
+This command has no effect on Info output. Write this command at the

+There are subtleties to handling words like `meta' or `ctrl' that are
+names of modifier keys. When mentioning a character in which the
+modifier key is used, such as @kbd{Meta-a}, use the @code{@@kbd} command
+alone; do not use the @code{@@key} command; but when you are referring
+to the modifier key in isolation, use the @code{@@key} command. For
+example, write @samp{@@kbd@{Meta-a@}} to produce @kbd{Meta-a} and
+@samp{@@key@{META@}} to produce @key{META}.
+
+@c I don't think this is a good explanation.
+@c I think it will puzzle readers more than it clarifies matters. -- rms.
+@c In other words, use @code{@@kbd} for what you do, and use @code{@@key}

+Enclose the text in braces. The argument appears within single
+quotation marks in both the Info file and the printed manual; in
+addition, it is printed in a fixed-width font.@refill

+@end quotation
+
+Any time you are referring to single characters, you should use
+@code{@@samp} unless @code{@@kbd} or @code{@@key} is more appropriate.
+Use @code{@@samp} for the names of command-line options (except in an
+@code{@@table}, where @code{@@code} seems to read more easily). Also,
+you may use @code{@@samp} for entire statements in C and for entire
+shell commands---in this case, @code{@@samp} often looks better than
+@code{@@code}. Basically, @code{@@samp} is a catchall for whatever is
+not covered by @code{@@code}, @code{@@kbd}, or @code{@@key}.@refill
+
+Only include punctuation marks within braces if they are part of the

+Use the @code{@@var} command to indicate metasyntactic variables. A

+@code{texinfo-tex-command} is not a metasyntactic variable; it is
+properly formatted using @code{@@code}.@refill
+
+The effect of @code{@@var} in the Info file is to change the case of
+the argument to all upper case; in the printed manual, to italicize it.

+The @code{@@ctrl} command is seldom used. It describes an @sc{ascii}
+control character by inserting the actual character into the Info
+file.
+
+Usually, in Texinfo, you talk what you type as keyboard entry by
+describing it with @code{@@kbd}: thus, @samp{@@kbd@{C-a@}} for
+@kbd{C-a}. Use @code{@@kbd} in this way when talking about a control
+character that is typed on the keyboard by the user. When talking
+about a control character appearing in a file or a string, do not use
+@code{@@kbd} since the control character is not typed. Also, do not
+use @samp{C-} but spell out @code{control-}, as in @samp{control-a},
+to make it easier for a reader to understand.@refill
+
+@code{@@ctrl} is an idea from the beginnings of Texinfo which may not
+really fit in to the scheme of things. But there may be times when
+you want to use the command. The pattern is
+@code{@@ctrl@{@var{ch}@}}, where @var{ch} is an @sc{ascii} character
+whose control-equivalent is wanted. For example, to specify
+@samp{control-f}, you would enter@refill

+@example
+@@ctrl@{f@}
+@end example
+
+@noindent

+
+In the Info file, this generates the specified control character, output

+control character (along with whatever else he or she wants) into another
+Emacs buffer and use it. Since the `control-h',`control-i', and
+`control-j' characters are formatting characters, they should not be
+indicated with @code{@@ctrl}.@refill

+@code{@@definfoenclose} creates new commands for Info that mark text by

+A delimiter string may contain spaces. Neither the start nor end
+delimiter is required. However, if you do not provide a start
+delimiter, you must follow the command name with two commas in a row;
+otherwise, the Info formatting commands will misinterpret the end
+delimiter string as a start delimiter string.@refill

+After you have defined @code{@@phoo} both for @TeX{} and for Info, you

+@end ifinfo
+
+Write the @code{@@table} command at the beginning of a line and follow
+it on the same line with an argument that is a Texinfo ``indicating''
+command such as @code{@@code}, @code{@@samp}, @code{@@var}, or
+@code{@@kbd} (@pxref{Indicating}). Although these commands are usually
+followed by arguments in braces, in this case you use the command name
+without an argument because @code{@@item} will supply the argument.
+This command will be applied to the text that goes into the first column
+of each item and determines how it will be highlighted. For example,
+@code{@@code} will cause the text in the first column to be highlighted
+with an @code{@@code} command. (We recommend @code{@@code} for
+@code{@@table}'s of command-line options.)
+
+@findex asis
+You may also choose to use the @code{@@asis} command as an argument to
+@code{@@table}. @code{@@asis} is a command that does nothing; if you
+use this command after @code{@@table}, @TeX{} and the Info formatting
+commands output the first column entries without added highlighting
+(``as is'').@refill
+
+(The @code{@@table} command may work with other commands besides those
+listed here. However, you can only use commands that normally take
+arguments in braces.)@refill
+
+Begin each table entry with an @code{@@item} command at the beginning
+of a line. Write the first column text on the same line as the
+@code{@@item} command. Write the second column text on the line
+following the @code{@@item} line and on subsequent lines. (You do not
+need to type anything for an empty second column entry.) You may
+write as many lines of supporting text as you wish, even several
+paragraphs. But only text on the same line as the @code{@@item} will
+be placed in the first column.@refill
+@findex item
+
+Normally, you should put a blank line before an @code{@@item} line.
+This puts a blank like in the Info file. Except when the entries are
+very brief, a blank line looks better.@refill
+
+@need 1500
+The following table, for example, highlights the text in the first

+@cindex Creating indices
+
+Using Texinfo, you can generate indices without having to sort and
+collate entries manually. In an index, the entries are listed in
+alphabetical order, together with information on how to find the
+discussion of each entry. In a printed manual, this information
+consists of page numbers. In an Info file, this information is a menu
+entry leading to the first node referenced.@refill
+
+Texinfo provides several predefined kinds of index: an index
+for functions, an index for variables, an index for concepts, and so
+on. You can combine indices or use them for other than their
+canonical purpose. If you wish, you can define your own indices.@refill

+@cindex Entries, making index
+
+When you are making index entries, it is good practice to think of the
+different ways people may look for something. Different people
+@emph{do not} think of the same words when they look something up. A
+helpful index will have items indexed under all the different words
+that people may use. For example, one reader may think it obvious that
+the two-letter names for indices should be listed under ``Indices,
+two-letter names'', since the word ``Index'' is the general concept.
+But another reader may remember the specific concept of two-letter
+names and search for the entry listed as ``Two letter names for
+indices''. A good index will have both entries and will help both
+readers.@refill

+professional art, the subtleties of which are not appreciated until you

+@cindex Entries for an index

+@cindex Creating index entries
+
+The data to make an index come from many individual indexing commands
+scattered throughout the Texinfo source file. Each command says to add
+one entry to a particular index; after formatting, the index will give
+the current page number or node name as the reference.@refill
+
+An index entry consists of an indexing command at the beginning of a
+line followed, on the rest of the line, by the entry.@refill
+
+For example, this section begins with the following five entries for
+the concept index:@refill
+
+@example
+@@cindex Defining indexing entries
+@@cindex Index entries
+@@cindex Entries for an index
+@@cindex Specifying index entries

+Each predefined index has its own indexing command---@code{@@cindex}
+for the concept index, @code{@@findex} for the function index, and so
+on.@refill
+
+@cindex Writing index entries
+@cindex Index entry writing
+Concept index entries consist of text. The best way to write an index
+is to choose entries that are terse yet clear. If you can do this,
+the index often looks better if the entries are not capitalized, but
+written just as they would appear in the middle of a sentence.
+(Capitalize proper names and acronyms that always call for upper case
+letters.) This is the case convention we use in most GNU manuals'
+indices.
+
+If you don't see how to make an entry terse yet clear, make it longer
+and clear---not terse and confusing. If many of the entries are several
+words long, the index may look better if you use a different convention:
+to capitalize the first word of each entry. But do not capitalize a
+case-sensitive name such as a C or Lisp function name or a shell
+command; that would be a spelling error.
+
+Whichever case convention you use, please use it consistently!
+
+@ignore
+Concept index entries consist of English text. The usual convention
+is to capitalize the first word of each such index entry, unless that
+word is the name of a function, variable, or other such entity that
+should not be capitalized. However, if your concept index entries are
+consistently short (one or two words each) it may look better for each
+regular entry to start with a lower case letter, aside from proper
+names and acronyms that always call for upper case letters. Whichever
+convention you adapt, please be consistent!
+@end ignore
+
+Entries in indices other than the concept index are symbol names in
+programming languages, or program names; these names are usually
+case-sensitive, so use upper and lower case as required for them.
+
+By default, entries for a concept index are printed in a small roman
+font and entries for the other indices are printed in a small
+@code{@@code} font. You may change the way part of an entry is
+printed with the usual Texinfo commands, such as @code{@@file} for
+file names and @code{@@emph} for emphasis (@pxref{Marking
+Text}).@refill
+@cindex Index font types
+
+@cindex Predefined indexing commands
+@cindex Indexing commands, predefined
+The six indexing commands for predefined indices are:

+@findex cindex
+Make an entry in the concept index for @var{concept}.@refill

+@strong{Caution:} Do not use a colon in an index entry. In Info, a
+colon separates the menu entry name from the node name. An extra
+colon confuses Info.
+@xref{Menu Parts, , The Parts of a Menu},
+for more information about the structure of a menu entry.@refill
+@end quotation
+
+If you write several identical index entries in different places in a
+Texinfo file, the index in the printed manual will list all the pages to
+which those entries refer. However, the index in the Info file will
+list @strong{only} the node that references the @strong{first} of those
+index entries. Therefore, it is best to write indices in which each
+entry refers to only one place in the Texinfo file. Fortunately, this
+constraint is a feature rather than a loss since it means that the index
+will be easy to use. Otherwise, you could create an index that lists
+several pages for one entry and your reader would not know to which page
+to turn. If you have two identical entries for one topic, change the
+topics slightly, or qualify them to indicate the difference.@refill
+
+You are not actually required to use the predefined indices for their
+canonical purposes. For example, suppose you wish to index some C
+preprocessor macros. You could put them in the function index along
+with actual functions, just by writing @code{@@findex} commands for
+them; then, when you print the ``Function Index'' as an unnumbered
+chapter, you could give it the title `Function and Macro Index' and
+all will be consistent for the reader. Or you could put the macros in
+with the data types by writing @code{@@tindex} commands for them, and
+give that index a suitable title so the reader will understand.

+You could put functions into the concept index by writing

+This defines a new index, called the @samp{au} index. At the same

+@cindex Periods, inserting
+Depending on whether a period or exclamation point or question mark is
+inside or at the end of a sentence, less or more space is inserted after
+a period in a typeset manual. Since it is not always possible for
+Texinfo to determine when a period ends a sentence and when it is used
+in an abbreviation, special commands are needed in some circumstances.
+(Usually, Texinfo can guess how to handle periods, so you do not need to
+use the special commands; you just enter a period as you would if you
+were using a typewriter, which means you put two spaces after the
+period, question mark, or exclamation mark that ends a sentence.)
+
+@findex : @r{(suppress widening)}

+@subsection Multiple Spaces
+
+@cindex Multiple spaces
+@cindex Whitespace, inserting
+@findex (space)
+@findex (tab)
+@findex (newline)
+
+Ordinarily, @TeX{} collapses multiple whitespace characters (space, tab,
+and newline) into a single space. Info output, on the other hand,
+preserves whitespace as you type it, except for changing a newline into
+a space; this is why it is important to put two spaces at the end of
+sentences in Texinfo documents.
+
+Occasionally, you may want to actually insert several consecutive
+spaces, either for purposes of example (what your program does with
+multiple spaces as input), or merely for purposes of appearance in
+headings or lists. Texinfo supports three commands:
+@code{@@@kbd{SPACE}}, @code{@@@kbd{TAB}}, and @code{@@@kbd{NL}}, all of
+which insert a single space into the output. (Here,
+@code{@@@kbd{SPACE}} represents an @samp{@@} character followed by a
+space, i.e., @samp{@@ }, and @kbd{TAB} and @kbd{NL} represent the tab
+character and end-of-line, i.e., when @samp{@@} is the last character on
+a line.)
+
+For example,
+@example
+Spacey@@ @@ @@ @@
+example.
+@end example
+
+@noindent produces
+
+@example
+Spacey@ @ @ @
+example.
+@end example
+
+Other possible uses of @code{@@@kbd{SPACE}} have been subsumed by
+@code{@@multitable} (@pxref{Multi-column Tables}).
+

+@findex dmn
+
+At times, you may want to write @samp{12@dmn{pt}} or
+@samp{8.5@dmn{in}} with little or no space between the number and the
+abbreviation for the dimension. You can use the @code{@@dmn} command
+to do this. On seeing the command, @TeX{} inserts just enough space
+for proper typesetting; the Info formatting commands insert no space
+at all, since the Info file does not require it.@refill
+
+To use the @code{@@dmn} command, write the number and then follow it
+immediately, with no intervening space, by @code{@@dmn}, and then by
+the dimension within braces. For example,
+
+@example
+A4 paper is 8.27@@dmn@{in@} wide.
+@end example
+
+@noindent
+produces
+
+@quotation
+A4 paper is 8.27@dmn{in} wide.

+
+Not everyone uses this style. Some people prefer @w{@samp{8.27 in.@@:}}
+or @w{@samp{8.27 inches}} to @samp{8.27@@dmn@{in@}} in the Texinfo file.
+In these cases, however, the formatters may insert a line break between
+the number and the dimension, so use @code{@@w} (@pxref{w}). Also, if
+you write a period after an abbreviation within a sentence, you should
+write @samp{@@:} after the period to prevent @TeX{} from inserting extra

+
+Usually, a Texinfo file is processed both by @TeX{} and by one of the

+ensure that text looks right both in the printed manual and in the

+For example, in a printed manual, page breaks may occur awkwardly in

+using a grouping command that keeps the text from being split across

+would occur normally. Fortunately, problems like these do not often

+and follow it on the same line by the category of the entity, the name
+of the entity itself, and its arguments (if any). Then write the body

+
+Some of the definition commands are more general than others. The
+@code{@@deffn} command, for example, is the general definition command
+for functions and the like---for entities that may take arguments. When
+you use this command, you specify the category to which the entity
+belongs. The @code{@@deffn} command possesses three predefined,
+specialized variations, @code{@@defun}, @code{@@defmac}, and
+@code{@@defspec}, that specify the category for you: ``Function'',
+``Macro'', and ``Special Form'' respectively. (In Lisp, a special form
+is an entity much like a function.) The @code{@@defvr} command also is
+accompanied by several predefined, specialized variations for describing
+particular kinds of variables.@refill
+
+The template for a specialized definition, such as @code{@@defun}, is
+similar to the template for a generalized definition, except that you
+do not need to specify the category:@refill

+@item @@deffn @var{category} @var{name} @var{arguments}@dots{}
+The @code{@@deffn} command is the general definition command for
+functions, interactive commands, and similar entities that may take
+arguments. You must choose a term to describe the category of entity
+being defined; for example, ``Function'' could be used if the entity is
+a function. The @code{@@deffn} command is written at the beginning of a
+line and is followed on the same line by the category of entity being
+described, the name of this particular entity, and its arguments, if
+any. Terminate the definition with @code{@@end deffn} on a line of its
+own.@refill
+
+@need 750
+For example, here is a definition:
+
+@example
+@group
+@@deffn Command forward-char nchars
+Move point forward @@var@{nchars@} characters.
+@@end deffn
+@end group
+@end example
+
+@noindent
+This shows a rather terse definition for a ``command'' named
+@code{forward-char} with one argument, @var{nchars}.
+
+@code{@@deffn} prints argument names such as @var{nchars} in italics or
+upper case, as if @code{@@var} had been used, because we think of these
+names as metasyntactic variables---they stand for the actual argument
+values. Within the text of the description, write an argument name
+explicitly with @code{@@var} to refer to the value of the argument. In
+the example above, we used @samp{@@var@{nchars@}} in this way.
+
+The template for @code{@@deffn} is:
+
+@example
+@group
+@@deffn @var{category} @var{name} @var{arguments}@dots{}

+Change the value of the symbol @@var@{symbol@}

+@@end defun
+@end group
+@end example
+
+@noindent
+shows a rather terse definition for a function @code{set} whose
+arguments are @var{symbol} and @var{new-value}. The argument names on

+
+@table @code
+@findex deftypefn
+@item @@deftypefn @var{category} @var{data-type} @var{name} @var{arguments}@dots{}
+The @code{@@deftypefn} command is the general definition command for

+
+@need 800
+@noindent
+For example,
+
+@example
+@group

+@code{int}, and its arguments are @var{foo} (an @code{int}) and
+@var{bar} (a @code{float}).@refill
+
+The argument names that you write in @code{@@deftypefn} are not subject
+to an implicit @code{@@var}---since the actual names of the arguments in
+@code{@@deftypefn} are typically scattered among data type names and
+keywords, Texinfo cannot find them without help. Instead, you must write
+@code{@@var} explicitly around the argument names. In the example

+The template for @code{@@deftypefn} is:@refill

+
+@noindent
+Note that if the @var{category} or @var{data type} is more than one
+word then it must be enclosed in braces to make it a single argument.@refill
+
+If you are describing a procedure in a language that has packages,

+@end example
+
+@noindent
+(The @code{@@deftypefn} arguments are shown split into three lines, but
+would be a single line in a real Texinfo file.)
+
+In this instance, the procedure is classified as belonging to the
+package @code{stacks} rather than classified as a `procedure' and its
+data type is described as @code{private}. (The name of the procedure
+is @code{push}, and its arguments are @var{s} and @var{n}.)@refill

+The @code{@@defop} command is the general definition command for

+These entities take arguments, as functions do, but are associated
+with particular classes of objects.@refill

+For example, some systems have constructs called @dfn{wrappers} that
+are associated with classes as methods are, but that act more like
+macros than like functions. You could use @code{@@defop Wrapper} to
+describe one of these.@refill
+
+Sometimes it is useful to distinguish methods and @dfn{operations}.
+You can think of an operation as the specification for a method.
+Thus, a window system might specify that all window classes have a
+method named @code{expose}; we would say that this window system
+defines an @code{expose} operation on windows in general. Typically,
+the operation has a name and also specifies the pattern of arguments;
+all methods that implement the operation must accept the same
+arguments, since applications that use the operation do so without
+knowing which method will implement it.@refill
+
+Often it makes more sense to document operations than methods. For
+example, window application developers need to know about the
+@code{expose} operation, but need not be concerned with whether a
+given class of windows has its own method to implement this operation.
+To describe this operation, you would write:@refill
+
+@example
+@@defop Operation windows expose
+@end example
+
+The @code{@@defop} command is written at the beginning of a line and

+@section Footnote Commands
+
+In Texinfo, footnotes are created with the @code{@@footnote} command.
+This command is followed immediately by a left brace, then by the text
+of the footnote, and then by a terminating right brace. Footnotes may
+be of any length (they will be broken across pages if necessary), but
+are usually short. The template is:
+
+@example
+ordinary text@@footnote@{@var{text of footnote}@}
+@end example
+
+As shown here, the @code{@@footnote} command should come right after the
+text being footnoted, with no intervening space; otherwise, the
+formatters the footnote mark might end up starting up a line.
+
+For example, this clause is followed by a sample
+footnote@footnote{Here is the sample footnote.}; in the Texinfo
+source, it looks like this:@refill
+
+@example
+@dots{}a sample footnote@@footnote@{Here is the sample
+footnote.@}; in the Texinfo source@dots{}
+@end example
+
+@strong{Warning:} Don't use footnotes in the argument of the
+@code{@@item} command for a @code{@@table} table. This doesn't work, and
+because of limitations of @TeX{}, there is no way to fix it. You must
+put the footnote into the body text of the table.
+
+In a printed manual or book, the reference mark for a footnote is a
+small, superscripted number; the text of the footnote appears at the
+bottom of the page, below a horizontal line.@refill
+
+In Info, the reference mark for a footnote is a pair of parentheses
+with the footnote number between them, like this: @samp{(1)}.@refill
+
+
+@node Footnote Styles, , Footnote Commands, Footnotes
+@section Footnote Styles
+
+Info has two footnote styles, which determine where the text of the
+footnote is located:@refill
+
+@itemize @bullet
+@cindex @samp{@r{End}} node footnote style
+@item
+In the `End' node style, all the footnotes for a single node
+are placed at the end of that node. The footnotes are separated from
+the rest of the node by a line of dashes with the word
+@samp{Footnotes} within it. Each footnote begins with an
+@samp{(@var{n})} reference mark.@refill
+
+@need 700
+@noindent
+Here is an example of a single footnote in the end of node style:@refill
+
+@example
+@group
+ --------- Footnotes ---------
+
+(1) Here is a sample footnote.
+@end group
+@end example
+
+@cindex @samp{@r{Separate}} footnote style
+@item
+In the `Separate' node style, all the footnotes for a single
+node are placed in an automatically constructed node of
+their own. In this style, a ``footnote reference'' follows
+each @samp{(@var{n})} reference mark in the body of the
+node. The footnote reference is actually a cross reference
+which you use to reach the footnote node.@refill
+
+The name of the node containing the footnotes is constructed
+by appending @w{@samp{-Footnotes}} to the name of the node
+that contains the footnotes. (Consequently, the footnotes'
+node for the @file{Footnotes} node is
+@w{@file{Footnotes-Footnotes}}!) The footnotes' node has an
+`Up' node pointer that leads back to its parent node.@refill
+
+@noindent
+Here is how the first footnote in this manual looks after being
+formatted for Info in the separate node style:@refill
+
+@smallexample
+@group
+File: texinfo.info Node: Overview-Footnotes, Up: Overview
+
+(1) Note that the first syllable of "Texinfo" is
+pronounced like "speck", not "hex". @dots{}
+@end group
+@end smallexample
+@end itemize
+
+A Texinfo file may be formatted into an Info file with either footnote
+style.@refill
+
+@findex footnotestyle
+Use the @code{@@footnotestyle} command to specify an Info file's
+footnote style. Write this command at the beginning of a line followed
+by an argument, either @samp{end} for the end node style or
+@samp{separate} for the separate node style.
+
+@need 700
+For example,
+
+@example
+@@footnotestyle end
+@end example
+@noindent
+or
+@example
+@@footnotestyle separate
+@end example
+
+Write an @code{@@footnotestyle} command before or shortly after the
+end-of-header line at the beginning of a Texinfo file. (If you
+include the @code{@@footnotestyle} command between the start-of-header
+and end-of-header lines, the region formatting commands will format
+footnotes as specified.)@refill
+
+If you do not specify a footnote style, the formatting commands use
+their default style. Currently, @code{texinfo-format-buffer} and
+@code{texinfo-format-region} use the `separate' style and
+@code{makeinfo} uses the `end' style.@refill
+
+@c !!! note: makeinfo's --footnote-style option overrides footnotestyle
+@ignore
+If you use @code{makeinfo} to create the Info file, the
+@samp{--footnote-style} option determines which style is used,
+@samp{end} for the end of node style or @samp{separate} for the
+separate node style. Thus, to format the Texinfo manual in the
+separate node style, you would use the following shell command:@refill
+
+@example
+makeinfo --footnote-style=separate texinfo.texi
+@end example
+
+@noindent
+To format the Texinfo manual in the end of node style, you would
+type:@refill
+
+@example
+makeinfo --footnote-style=end texinfo.texi
+@end example
+@end ignore
+@ignore
+If you use @code{texinfo-format-buffer} or
+@code{texinfo-format-region} to create the Info file, the value of the
+@code{texinfo-footnote-style} variable controls the footnote style.
+It can be either @samp{"separate"} for the separate node style or
+@samp{"end"} for the end of node style. (You can change the value of
+this variable with the @kbd{M-x edit-options} command (@pxref{Edit
+Options, , Editing Variable Values, emacs, The GNU Emacs Manual}), or
+with the @kbd{M-x set-variable} command (@pxref{Examining, , Examining
+and Setting Variables, emacs, The GNU Emacs Manual}).@refill
+
+The @code{texinfo-footnote-style} variable also controls the style if
+you use the @kbd{M-x makeinfo-region} or @kbd{M-x makeinfo-buffer}
+command in Emacs.@refill

+Inside a region delineated by @code{@@iftex} and @code{@@end iftex}, you

+since they are only in that part of the file which is seen by @TeX{}.
+You can write the @TeX{} commands as you would write them in a normal
+@TeX{} file, except that you must replace the @samp{\} used by @TeX{}
+with an @samp{@@}. For example, in the @code{@@titlepage} section of a
+Texinfo file, you can use the @TeX{} command @code{@@vskip} to format
+the copyright page. (The @code{@@titlepage} command causes Info to
+ignore the region automatically, as it does with the @code{@@iftex}
+command.)
+
+However, many features of plain @TeX{} will not work, as they are

+
+@findex tex
+You can enter plain @TeX{} completely, and use @samp{\} in the @TeX{}
+commands, by delineating a region with the @code{@@tex} and @code{@@end

+region, like the @code{@@iftex} command.) The sole exception is that
+@code{@@} chracter still introduces a command, so that @code{@@end tex}
+can be recognized properly.

+@subsection @code{@@value}
+@findex value
+
+You can use the @code{@@set} command to specify a value for a flag,
+which is expanded by the @code{@@value} command. The value is a string
+a characters.
+
+Write the @code{@@set} command like this:
+
+@example
+@@set foo This is a string.
+@end example
+
+@noindent
+This sets the value of @code{foo} to ``This is a string.''
+
+The Texinfo formatters replace an @code{@@value@{@var{flag}@}} command with
+the string to which @var{flag} is set.@refill
+
+Thus, when @code{foo} is set as shown above, the Texinfo formatters convert
+
+@example
+@group
+@@value@{foo@}
+@exdent @r{to}
+This is a string.
+@end group
+@end example
+
+You can write an @code{@@value} command within a paragraph; but you
+must write an @code{@@set} command on a line of its own.
+
+If you write the @code{@@set} command like this:
+
+@example
+@@set foo
+@end example
+
+@noindent
+without specifying a string, the value of @code{foo} is an empty string.
+
+If you clear a previously set flag with an @code{@@clear @var{flag}}
+command, a subsequent @code{@@value@{flag@}} command is invalid and the
+string is replaced with an error message that says @samp{@{No value for
+"@var{flag}"@}}.
+
+For example, if you set @code{foo} as follows:@refill
+
+@example
+@@set how-much very, very, very

+@findex macro
+You use the Texinfo @code{@@macro} command to define a macro. For example:
+
+@example
+@@macro @var{macro-name}@{@var{param1}, @var{param2}, @dots{}@}
+@var{text} @dots{} \@var{param1}\ @dots{}
+@@end macro
+@end example
+
+The @dfn{parameters} @var{param1}, @var{param2}, @dots{} correspond to
+arguments supplied when the macro is subsequently used in the document
+(see the next section).
+
+If a macro needs no parameters, you can define it either with an empty
+list (@samp{@@macro foo @{@}}) or with no braces at all (@samp{@@macro
+foo}).
+
+@cindex Body of a macro
+@cindex Mutually recursive macros
+@cindex Recursion, mutual
+The definition or @dfn{body} of the macro can contain any Texinfo
+commands, including previously-defined macros. (It is not possible to
+have mutually recursive Texinfo macros.) In the body, instances of a
+parameter name surrounded by backslashes, as in @samp{\@var{param1}\} in
+the example above, are replaced by the corresponding argument from the
+macro invocation.

+@findex unmacro
+@cindex Macros, undefining
+@cindex Undefining macros
+You can undefine a macro @var{foo} with @code{@@unmacro @var{foo}}.
+It is not an error to undefine a macro that is already undefined.

+
+
+@node Invoking Macros, , Defining Macros, Macros
+@section Invoking Macros
+@cindex Invoking macros
+@cindex Macro invocation
+
+After a macro is defined (see the previous section), you can use
+(@dfn{invoke}) it in your document like this:
+
+@example
+@@@var{macro-name} @{@var{arg1}, @var{arg2}, @dots{}@}
+@end example
+
+@noindent and the result will be just as if you typed the body of
+@var{macro-name} at that spot. For example:
+
+@example
+@@macro foo @{p, q@}
+Together: \p\ & \q\.
+@@end macro
+@@foo@{a, b@}
+@end example
+
+@noindent produces:
+
+@display
+Together: a & b.
+@end display
+
+@cindex Backslash, and macros
+Thus, the arguments and parameters are separated by commas and delimited
+by braces; any whitespace after (but not before) a comma is ignored. To
+insert a comma, brace, or backslash in an argument, prepend a backslash,
+as in
+
+@example
+@@@var{macro-name} @{\\\@{\@}\,@}
+@end example
+
+@noindent
+which will pass the (almost certainly error-producing) argument
+@samp{\@{@},} to @var{macro-name}.
+
+If the macro is defined to take a single argument, and is invoked
+without any braces, the entire rest of the line after the macro name is
+supplied as the argument. For example:
+
+@example
+@@macro bar @{p@}
+Twice: \p\, \p\.
+@@end macro
+@@bar aah

+@cindex Formatting with @code{tex} and @code{texindex}
+@cindex DVI file
+
+Format the Texinfo file with the shell command @code{tex} followed by
+the name of the Texinfo file. For example:
+
+@example
+tex foo.texi
+@end example
+
+@noindent @TeX{} will produce a @dfn{DVI file} as well as several auxiliary
+files containing information for indices, cross references, etc. The
+DVI file (for @dfn{DeVice Independent} file) can be printed on virtually
+any printe (see the following sections).
+
+@pindex texindex
+The @code{tex} formatting command itself does not sort the indices; it
+writes an output file of unsorted index data. (The @code{texi2dvi}
+command automatically generates indices; see @ref{Format with texi2dvi,,
+Format using @code{texi2dvi}}.) To generate a printed index after
+running the @code{tex} command, you first need a sorted index to work
+from. The @code{texindex} command sorts indices. (The source file
+@file{texindex.c} comes as part of the standard Texinfo distribution,
+among other places.)@refill
+
+@cindex Names of index files
+The @code{tex} formatting command outputs unsorted index files under
+names that obey a standard convention: the name of your main input file
+with any @samp{.tex} (or similar, @pxref{tex invocation,,, web2c,
+Web2c}) extension removed, followed by the two letter names of indices.
+For example, the raw index output files for the input file
+@file{foo.texinfo} would be @file{foo.cp}, @file{foo.vr}, @file{foo.fn},
+@file{foo.tp}, @file{foo.pg} and @file{foo.ky}. Those are exactly the
+arguments to give to @code{texindex}.@refill
+
+@need 1000
+@cindex Wildcards
+@cindex Globbing
+Instead of specifying all the unsorted index file names explicitly, you
+can use @samp{??} as shell wildcards and give the command in this
+form:@refill
+
+@example
+texindex foo.??
+@end example
+
+@noindent
+This command will run @code{texindex} on all the unsorted index files,
+including any that you have defined yourself using @code{@@defindex}
+or @code{@@defcodeindex}. (You may execute @samp{texindex foo.??}
+even if there are similarly named files with two letter extensions
+that are not index files, such as @samp{foo.el}. The @code{texindex}
+command reports but otherwise ignores such files.)@refill
+
+For each file specified, @code{texindex} generates a sorted index file
+whose name is made by appending @samp{s} to the input file name. The
+@code{@@printindex} command knows to look for a file of that name
+(@pxref{Printing Indices & Menus}). @code{texindex} does not alter the
+raw index output file.@refill
+
+After you have sorted the indices, you need to rerun the @code{tex}
+formatting command on the Texinfo file. This regenerates the DVI file,
+this time with up-to-date index entries.
+
+Finally, you may need to run @code{tex} one more time, to get the page
+numbers in the cross-references correct.
+
+To summarize, this is a four step process:
+
+@enumerate
+@item
+Run @code{tex} on your Texinfo file. This generates a DVI file (with
+undefined cross-references and no indices), and the raw index files
+(with two letter extensions).
+
+@item
+Run @code{texindex} on the raw index files. This creates the
+corresponding sorted index files (with three letter extensions).
+
+@item
+Run @code{tex} again on your Texinfo file. This regenerates the DVI
+file, this time with indices and defined cross-references, but with page
+numbers for the cross-references from last time, generally incorrect.
+
+@item
+Run @code{tex} one last time. This time the correct page numbers are
+written for the cross-references.
+@end enumerate
+
+@pindex texi2dvi
+Alternatively, it's a one-step process: run @code{texi2dvi}.
+
+You need not run @code{texindex} each time after you run @code{tex}. If
+you do not, on the next run, the @code{tex} formatting command will use
+whatever sorted index files happen to exist from the previous use of
+@code{texindex}. This is usually ok while you are
+debugging.@refill

+The precise command to print a DVI file depends on your system
+installation, but @samp{lpr -d} is common. The command may require the
+DVI file name without any extension or with a @samp{.dvi}
+extension. (If it is @samp{lpr}, you must include the @samp{.dvi}.)
+
+The following commands, for example, will (probably) suffice to sort the

+
+@example
+\input texinfo
+@@setfilename @var{arg-not-used-by-@TeX{}}

+The first command instructs @TeX{} to load the macros it needs to

+
+Every Texinfo file must end with a line that terminates @TeX{}'s
+processing and forces out unfinished pages:
+
+@example
+@@bye
+@end example
+
+Strictly speaking, these lines are all a Texinfo file needs to be

+
+Usually, however, the beginning includes an @code{@@settitle} command to
+define the title of the printed manual, an @code{@@setchapternewpage}
+command, a title page, a copyright page, and permissions. Besides an
+@code{@@bye}, the end of a file usually includes indices and a table of

+@TeX{} needs to know where to find the @file{texinfo.tex} file that you
+have told it to input with the @samp{\input texinfo} command at the
+beginning of the first line. The @file{texinfo.tex} file tells @TeX{}
+how to handle @@-commands; it is included in all standard GNU
+distributions.
+
+@pindex texinfo.tex@r{, installing}
+Usually, the @file{texinfo.tex} file is put under the default directory
+that contains @TeX{} macros
+(@file{/usr/local/share/texmf/tex/texinfo/texinfo.tex} by default) when
+GNU Emacs or other GNU software is installed. In this case, @TeX{} will
+find the file and you do not need to do anything special.
+Alternatively, you can put @file{texinfo.tex} in the current directory
+when you run @TeX{}, and @TeX{} will find it there.
+
+@pindex epsf.tex@r{, installing}
+Also, you should install @file{epsf.tex} in the same place as
+@file{texinfo.tex}, if it is not already installed from another
+distribution. This file is needed to support the @code{@@image} command
+(@pxref{Images}).
+
+@pindex texinfo.cnf @r{installation}
+@cindex Customizing of @TeX{} for Texinfo
+@cindex Site-wide Texinfo configuration file
+Optionally, you may create an additional @file{texinfo.cnf}, and install
+it as well. This file is read by @TeX{} at the @code{@@setfilename}
+command (@pxref{setfilename,, @code{@@setfilename}}). You can put any
+commands you like there according to local site-wide conventions, and
+they will be read by @TeX{} when processing any Texinfo document. For
+example, if @file{texinfo.cnf} contains the a single line
+@samp{@@afourpaper} (@pxref{A4 Paper}), then all Texinfo documents will
+be processed with that page size in effect. If you have nothing to put
+in @file{texinfo.cnf}, you do not need to create it.
+
+@vindex TEXINPUTS
+If neither of the above locations for these system files suffice for
+you, you can specify the directories explicitly. For
+@file{texinfo.tex}, you can do this by writing the complete path for the
+file after the @code{\input} command. Another way, that works for both
+@file{texinfo.tex} and @file{texinfo.cnf} (and any other file @TeX{}
+might read), is to set the @code{TEXINPUTS} environment variable in your
+@file{.cshrc} or @file{.profile} file.
+
+Which you use of @file{.cshrc} or @file{.profile} depends on
+whether you use a Bourne shell-compatible (@code{sh}, @code{bash},
+@code{ksh}, @dots{}) or C shell-compatible (@code{csh}, @code{tcsh})
+command interpreter. The latter read the @file{.cshrc} file for
+initialization information, and the former read @file{.profile}.
+
+In a @file{.cshrc} file, you could use the following @code{csh} command
+sequence:
+
+@example
+setenv TEXINPUTS .:/home/me/mylib:/usr/lib/tex/macros

+@cindex Options for @code{makeinfo}
+
+The @code{makeinfo} command takes a number of options. Most often,
+options are used to set the value of the fill column and specify the
+footnote style. Each command line option is a word preceded by
+@samp{--} or a letter preceded by @samp{-}. You can use abbreviations
+for the long option names as long as they are unique.@refill
+
+For example, you could use the following shell command to create an Info
+file for @file{bison.texinfo} in which each line is filled to only 68
+columns:@refill
+
+@example
+makeinfo --fill-column=68 bison.texinfo
+@end example
+
+You can write two or more options in sequence, like this:@refill
+
+@example
+makeinfo --no-split --fill-column=70 @dots{}
+@end example
+
+@noindent
+This would keep the Info file together as one possibly very long
+file and would also set the fill column to 70.@refill
+
+The options are:
+
+@table @code
+
+@item -D @var{var}
+@opindex -D @var{var}
+Cause the variable @var{var} to be defined. This is equivalent to
+@code{@@set @var{var}} in the Texinfo file (@pxref{set clear value}).
+
+@item --error-limit=@var{limit}
+@opindex --error-limit=@var{limit}
+Set the maximum number of errors that @code{makeinfo} will report
+before exiting (on the assumption that continuing would be useless);
+default 100.
+
+@need 150
+@item --fill-column=@var{width}
+@opindex --fill-column=@var{width}
+Specify the maximum number of columns in a line; this is the right-hand
+edge of a line. Paragraphs that are filled will be filled to this
+width. (Filling is the process of breaking up and connecting lines so
+that lines are the same length as or shorter than the number specified
+as the fill column. Lines are broken between words.) The default value
+is 72.
+
+@item --footnote-style=@var{style}
+@opindex --footnote-style=@var{style}
+Set the footnote style to @var{style}, either @samp{end} for the end
+node style (the default) or @samp{separate} for the separate node style.
+The value set by this option overrides the value set in a Texinfo file
+by an @code{@@footnotestyle} command (@pxref{Footnotes}). When the
+footnote style is @samp{separate}, @code{makeinfo} makes a new node
+containing the footnotes found in the current node. When the footnote
+style is @samp{end}, @code{makeinfo} places the footnote references at
+the end of the current node.
+
+@item --force
+@opindex --force
+Ordinarily, if the input file has errors, the output files are not
+created. With this option, they are preserved.
+
+@item --help
+@opindex --help
+Print a usage message listing all available options, then exit successfully.
+
+@item -I @var{dir}
+@opindex -I @var{dir}
+Add @code{dir} to the directory search list for finding files that are
+included using the @code{@@include} command. By default,
+@code{makeinfo} searches only the current directory.
+
+@item --no-headers
+@opindex --no-headers
+Do not include menus or node lines in the output. This results in an
+@sc{ascii} file that you cannot read in Info since it does not contain
+the requisite nodes or menus. It is primarily useful to extract certain
+pieces of a manual into separate files to be included in a distribution,
+such as @file{INSTALL} files.
+
+@item --no-split
+@opindex --no-split
+Suppress the splitting stage of @code{makeinfo}. By default, large
+output files (where the size is greater than 70k bytes) are split into
+smaller subfiles, each one approximately 50k bytes.
+
+@item --no-pointer-validate
+@itemx --no-validate
+@opindex --no-pointer-validate
+@opindex --no-validate
+Suppress the pointer-validation phase of @code{makeinfo}. Normally,
+after a Texinfo file is processed, some consistency checks are made to
+ensure that cross references can be resolved, etc.
+@xref{Pointer Validation}.@refill
+
+@item --no-warn
+@opindex --no-warn
+Suppress warning messages (but @emph{not} error messages). You might
+want this if the file you are creating has examples of Texinfo cross
+references within it, and the nodes that are referenced do not actually
+exist.
+
+@item --no-number-footnotes
+@opindex --no-number-footnotes
+Suppress automatic footnote numbering. By default, @code{makeinfo}
+numbers each footnote sequentially in a single node, resetting the
+current footnote number to 1 at the start of each node.
+
+@item --output=@var{file}
+@itemx -o @var{file}
+@opindex --output=@var{file}
+@opindex -o @var{file}
+Specify that the output should be directed to @var{file} and not to the
+file name specified in the @code{@@setfilename} command found in the
+Texinfo source (@pxref{setfilename}). If @var{file} is @samp{-}, output
+goes to standard output and @samp{--no-split} is implied.
+
+@item -P @var{dir}
+@opindex -P @var{dir}
+Prepend @code{dir} to the directory search list for @code{@@include}.
+See @samp{-I} for more details.
+
+@item --paragraph-indent=@var{indent}
+@opindex --paragraph-indent=@var{indent}
+Set the paragraph indentation style to @var{indent}. The value set by
+this option overrides the value set in a Texinfo file by an
+@code{@@paragraphindent} command (@pxref{paragraphindent}). The value
+of @var{indent} is interpreted as follows:
+
+@table @asis
+@item @samp{asis}
+Preserve any existing indentation at the starts of paragraphs.

+mode, you create a new Emacs process. This frees your current Emacs, so

+@code{texinfo-format-region} or @code{texinfo-format-buffer}, you cannot
+use that Emacs for anything else until the command finishes.)@refill

+@cindex Tag table, making automatically
+
+If a Texinfo file has more than 30,000 bytes,
+@code{texinfo-format-buffer} automatically creates a tag table
+for its Info file; @code{makeinfo} always creates a tag table. With
+a @dfn{tag table}, Info can jump to new nodes more quickly than it can
+otherwise.@refill
+
+@cindex Indirect subfiles
+In addition, if the Texinfo file contains more than about 70,000
+bytes, @code{texinfo-format-buffer} and @code{makeinfo} split the
+large Info file into shorter @dfn{indirect} subfiles of about 50,000
+bytes each. Big files are split into smaller files so that Emacs does
+not need to make a large buffer to hold the whole of a large Info
+file; instead, Emacs allocates just enough memory for the small, split
+off file that is needed at the time. This way, Emacs avoids wasting
+memory when you run Info. (Before splitting was implemented, Info
+files were always kept short and @dfn{include files} were designed as
+a way to create a single, large printed manual out of the smaller Info
+files. @xref{Include Files}, for more information. Include files are
+still used for very large documents, such as @cite{The Emacs Lisp
+Reference Manual}, in which each chapter is a separate file.)@refill
+
+When a file is split, Info itself makes use of a shortened version of
+the original file that contains just the tag table and references to
+the files that were split off. The split off files are called
+@dfn{indirect} files.@refill
+
+The split off files have names that are created by appending @w{@samp{-1}},
+@w{@samp{-2}}, @w{@samp{-3}} and so on to the file name specified by the
+@code{@@setfilename} command. The shortened version of the original file
+continues to have the name specified by @code{@@setfilename}.@refill
+
+At one stage in writing this document, for example, the Info file was saved
+as @file{test-texinfo} and that file looked like this:@refill
+
+@example
+@group
+Info file: test-texinfo, -*-Text-*-
+produced by texinfo-format-buffer

+
+@noindent
+(But @file{test-texinfo} had far more nodes than are shown here.) Each of
+the split off, indirect files, @file{test-texinfo-1},
+@file{test-texinfo-2}, and @file{test-texinfo-3}, is listed in this file
+after the line that says @samp{Indirect:}. The tag table is listed after
+the line that says @samp{Tag table:}. @refill
+
+In the list of indirect files, the number following the file name
+records the cumulative number of bytes in the preceding indirect files,
+not counting the file list itself, the tag table, or the permissions

+
+If you are using @code{texinfo-format-buffer} to create Info files,

+@heading The @file{dir} File
+@end ifinfo
+
+For Info to work, the @file{info} directory must contain a file that
+serves as a top level directory for the Info system. By convention,
+this file is called @file{dir}. (You can find the location of this file
+within Emacs by typing @kbd{C-h i} to enter Info and then typing
+@kbd{C-x C-f} to see the pathname to the @file{info} directory.)
+
+The @file{dir} file is itself an Info file. It contains the top level
+menu for all the Info files in the system. The menu looks like
+this:@refill
+
+@example
+@group
+* Menu:
+
+* Info: (info). Documentation browsing system.
+* Emacs: (emacs). The extensible, self-documenting
+ text editor.
+* Texinfo: (texinfo). With one source file, make
+ either a printed manual using
+ TeX or an Info file.
+@dots{}
+@end group
+@end example
+
+Each of these menu entries points to the `Top' node of the Info file
+that is named in parentheses. (The menu entry does not need to
+specify the `Top' node, since Info goes to the `Top' node if no node
+name is mentioned. @xref{Other Info Files, , Nodes in Other Info
+Files}.)@refill
+
+Thus, the @samp{Info} entry points to the `Top' node of the
+@file{info} file and the @samp{Emacs} entry points to the `Top' node
+of the @file{emacs} file.@refill
+
+In each of the Info files, the `Up' pointer of the `Top' node refers
+back to the @code{dir} file. For example, the line for the `Top'
+node of the Emacs manual looks like this in Info:@refill
+
+@example
+File: emacs Node: Top, Up: (DIR), Next: Distrib
+@end example
+
+@noindent
+(Note that in this case, the @file{dir} file name is written in upper
+case letters---it can be written in either upper or lower case. Info
+has a feature that it will change the case of the file name to lower
+case if it cannot find the name as written.)@refill
+@c !!! Can any file name be written in upper or lower case,
+@c or is dir a special case?
+@c Yes, apparently so, at least with Gillespie's Info. --rjc 24mar92

+@cindex New info file, listing it in @file{dir} file
+@cindex Info file, listing new one
+@cindex @file{dir} file listing
+
+To add a new Info file to your system, you must write a menu entry to
+add to the menu in the @file{dir} file in the @file{info} directory.
+For example, if you were adding documentation for GDB, you would write
+the following new entry:@refill
+
+@example
+* GDB: (gdb). The source-level C debugger.
+@end example
+
+@noindent
+The first part of the menu entry is the menu entry name, followed by a
+colon. The second part is the name of the Info file, in parentheses,
+followed by a period. The third part is the description.
+
+The name of an Info file often has a @file{.info} extension. Thus, the
+Info file for GDB might be called either @file{gdb} or @file{gdb.info}.
+The Info reader programs automatically try the file name both with and
+without @file{.info}; so it is better to avoid clutter and not to write
+@samp{.info} explicitly in the menu entry. For example, the GDB menu
+entry should use just @samp{gdb} for the file name, not @samp{gdb.info}.

+@cindex Another Info directory
+
+If an Info file is not in the @file{info} directory, there are three
+ways to specify its location:@refill
+
+@itemize @bullet
+@item
+Write the pathname in the @file{dir} file as the second part of the
+menu.@refill
+
+@item
+If you are using Emacs, list the name of the file in a second @file{dir}
+file, in its directory; and then add the name of that directory to the
+@code{Info-directory-list} variable in your personal or site
+initialization file.
+
+This tells Emacs where to look for @file{dir} files. Emacs merges the
+files named @file{dir} from each of the listed directories. (In Emacs
+version 18, you can set the @code{Info-directory} variable to the name
+of only one directory.)@refill
+
+@item
+Specify the Info directory name in the @code{INFOPATH} environment
+variable in your @file{.profile} or @file{.cshrc} initialization file.
+(Only you and others who set this environment variable will be able to
+find Info files whose location is specified this way.)@refill
+@end itemize
+
+For example, to reach a test file in the @file{/home/bob/manuals}
+directory, you could add an entry like this to the menu in the
+@file{dir} file:@refill
+
+@example
+* Test: (/home/bob/manuals/info-test). Bob's own test file.
+@end example
+
+@noindent
+In this case, the absolute file name of the @file{info-test} file is
+written as the second part of the menu entry.@refill
+
+@vindex Info-directory-list
+Alternatively, you could write the following in your @file{.emacs}
+file:@refill
+
+@example
+@group
+(setq Info-directory-list
+ '("/home/bob/manuals"
+ "/usr/local/info"))
+@end group
+@end example
+
+@c reworded to avoid overfill hbox
+This tells Emacs to merge the @file{dir} file from the
+@file{/home/bob/manuals} directory with the @file{dir} file from the
+@file{/usr/local/info} directory. Info will list the
+@file{/home/bob/manuals/info-test} file as a menu entry in the
+@file{/home/bob/manuals/dir} file.@refill
+
+@vindex INFOPATH
+Finally, you can tell Info where to look by setting the @code{INFOPATH}
+environment variable in your @file{.cshrc} or @file{.profile} file. If
+you use a Bourne-compatible shell such as @code{sh} or @code{bash} for
+your shell command interpreter, you set the @code{INFOPATH} environment
+variable in the @file{.profile} initialization file; but if you use
+@code{csh} or @code{tcsh}, you must set the variable in the
+@file{.cshrc} initialization file. The two types of shells use
+different syntax.
+
+@itemize @bullet
+@item
+In a @file{.cshrc} file, you could set the @code{INFOPATH}
+variable as follows:@refill
+
+@smallexample
+setenv INFOPATH .:~/manuals:/usr/local/emacs/info
+@end smallexample
+
+@item
+In a @file{.profile} file, you would achieve the same effect by
+writing:@refill
+
+@smallexample
+INFOPATH=.:$HOME/manuals:/usr/local/emacs/info
+export INFOPATH
+@end smallexample
+@end itemize
+
+@noindent
+The @samp{.} indicates the current directory as usual. Emacs uses the
+@code{INFOPATH} environment variable to initialize the value of Emacs's
+own @code{Info-directory-list} variable.
+
+@cindex @samp{:} @r{last in @code{INFOPATH}}
+However you set @code{INFOPATH}, if its last character is a colon, this
+is replaced by the default (compiled-in) path. This gives you a way to
+augment the default path with new directories without having to list all
+the standard places. For example (using @code{sh} syntax:
+
+@example
+INFOPATH=/local/info:
+export INFOPATH
+@end example
+
+@noindent
+will search @file{/local/info} first, then the standard directories.
+Leading or doubled colons are not treated specially.

+@node Installing Dir Entries, Invoking install-info, Other Info Directories, Install an Info File
+@section Installing Info Directory Files
+
+When you install an Info file onto your system, you can use the program
+@code{install-info} to update the Info directory file @file{dir}.
+Normally the makefile for the package runs @code{install-info}, just
+after copying the Info file into its proper installed location.
+
+@findex dircategory
+@findex direntry
+In order for the Info file to work with @code{install-info}, you should
+use the commands @code{@@dircategory} and @code{@@direntry} in the
+Texinfo source file. Use @code{@@direntry} to specify the menu entry to
+add to the Info directory file, and use @code{@@dircategory} to specify
+which part of the Info directory to put it in. Here is how these
+commands are used in this manual:
+
+@smallexample
+@@dircategory Texinfo documentation system
+@@direntry
+* Texinfo: (texinfo). The GNU documentation format.
+* install-info: (texinfo)Invoking install-info. @dots{}
+@dots{}
+@@end direntry
+@end smallexample
+
+Here's what this produces in the Info file:
+
+@smallexample
+INFO-DIR-SECTION Texinfo documentation system
+START-INFO-DIR-ENTRY
+* Texinfo: (texinfo). The GNU documentation format.
+* install-info: (texinfo)Invoking install-info. @dots{}
+@dots{}
+END-INFO-DIR-ENTRY
+@end smallexample
+
+@noindent
+The @code{install-info} program sees these lines in the Info file, and
+that is how it knows what to do.
+
+Always use the @code{@@direntry} and @code{@@dircategory} commands near
+the beginning of the Texinfo input, before the first @code{@@node}
+command. If you use them later on in the input, @code{install-info}
+will not notice them.
+
+If you use @code{@@dircategory} more than once in the Texinfo source,
+each usage specifies one category; the new menu entry is added to the
+Info directory file in each of the categories you specify. If you use
+@code{@@direntry} more than once, each usage specifies one menu entry;
+each of these menu entries is added to the directory in each of the
+specified categories.

+@appendix Tips and Hints
+
+Here are some tips for writing Texinfo documentation:@refill
+
+@cindex Tips
+@cindex Usage tips
+@cindex Hints
+@itemize @bullet
+@item
+Write in the present tense, not in the past or the future.
+
+@item
+Write actively! For example, write ``We recommend that @dots{}'' rather
+than ``It is recommended that @dots{}''.
+
+@item
+Use 70 or 72 as your fill column. Longer lines are hard to read.
+
+@item
+Include a copyright notice and copying permissions.
+@end itemize
+
+@subsubheading Index, Index, Index!
+
+Write many index entries, in different ways.
+Readers like indices; they are helpful and convenient.
+
+Although it is easiest to write index entries as you write the body of
+the text, some people prefer to write entries afterwards. In either
+case, write an entry before the paragraph to which it applies. This
+way, an index entry points to the first page of a paragraph that is
+split across pages.
+
+Here are more hints we have found valuable:
+
+@itemize @bullet
+@item
+Write each index entry differently, so each entry refers to a different
+place in the document.
+
+@item
+Write index entries only where a topic is discussed significantly. For
+example, it is not useful to index ``debugging information'' in a
+chapter on reporting bugs. Someone who wants to know about debugging
+information will certainly not find it in that chapter.
+
+@item
+Consistently capitalize the first word of every concept index entry,
+or else consistently use lower case. Terse entries often call for
+lower case; longer entries for capitalization. Whichever case
+convention you use, please use one or the other consistently! Mixing
+the two styles looks bad.
+
+@item
+Always capitalize or use upper case for those words in an index for
+which this is proper, such as names of countries or acronyms. Always
+use the appropriate case for case-sensitive names, such as those in C or
+Lisp.
+
+@item
+Write the indexing commands that refer to a whole section immediately
+after the section command, and write the indexing commands that refer to
+the paragraph before the paragraph.
+
+@need 1000
+In the example that follows, a blank line comes after the index
+entry for ``Leaping'':
+
+@example
+@group
+@@section The Dog and the Fox
+@@cindex Jumping, in general
+@@cindex Leaping
+
+@@cindex Dog, lazy, jumped over
+@@cindex Lazy dog jumped over
+@@cindex Fox, jumps over dog
+@@cindex Quick fox jumps over dog
+The quick brown fox jumps over the lazy dog.
+@end group
+@end example
+
+@noindent
+(Note that the example shows entries for the same concept that are
+written in different ways---@samp{Lazy dog}, and @samp{Dog, lazy}---so
+readers can look up the concept in different ways.)
+@end itemize
+
+@subsubheading Blank Lines
+
+@itemize @bullet
+@item
+Insert a blank line between a sectioning command and the first following
+sentence or paragraph, or between the indexing commands associated with
+the sectioning command and the first following sentence or paragraph, as
+shown in the tip on indexing. Otherwise, a formatter may fold title and
+paragraph together.
+
+@item
+Always insert a blank line before an @code{@@table} command and after an
+@code{@@end table} command; but never insert a blank line after an
+@code{@@table} command or before an @code{@@end table} command.
+
+@need 1000
+For example,
+
+@example
+@group
+Types of fox:
+
+@@table @@samp
+@@item Quick
+Jump over lazy dogs.
+@end group
+
+@group
+@@item Brown
+Also jump over lazy dogs.
+@@end table
+
+@end group
+@group
+@@noindent
+On the other hand, @dots{}
+@end group
+@end example
+
+Insert blank lines before and after @code{@@itemize} @dots{} @code{@@end
+itemize} and @code{@@enumerate} @dots{} @code{@@end enumerate} in the
+same way.
+@end itemize
+
+@subsubheading Complete Phrases
+
+Complete phrases are easier to read than @dots{}
+
+@itemize @bullet
+@item
+Write entries in an itemized list as complete sentences; or at least, as
+complete phrases. Incomplete expressions @dots{} awkward @dots{} like
+this.
+
+@item
+Write the prefatory sentence or phrase for a multi-item list or table as
+a complete expression. Do not write ``You can set:''; instead, write
+``You can set these variables:''. The former expression sounds cut off.
+@end itemize
+
+@subsubheading Editions, Dates and Versions
+
+Write the edition and version numbers and date in three places in every
+manual:
+
+@enumerate
+@item
+In the first @code{@@ifinfo} section, for people reading the Texinfo file.
+
+@item
+In the @code{@@titlepage} section, for people reading the printed manual.
+
+@item
+In the `Top' node, for people reading the Info file.
+@end enumerate
+
+@noindent
+Also, it helps to write a note before the first @code{@@ifinfo}
+section to explain what you are doing.
+
+@need 800
+@noindent
+For example:
+
+@example
+@group
+@@c ===> NOTE! <==
+@@c Specify the edition and version numbers and date
+@@c in *three* places:
+@@c 1. First ifinfo section 2. title page 3. top node
+@@c To find the locations, search for !!set
+@end group
+
+@group
+@@ifinfo
+@@c !!set edition, date, version
+This is Edition 4.03, January 1992,
+of the @@cite@{GDB Manual@} for GDB Version 4.3.
+@dots{}
+@end group
+@end example
+
+@noindent
+---or use @code{@@set} and @code{@@value}
+(@pxref{value Example, , @code{@@value} Example}).
+
+@subsubheading Definition Commands
+
+Definition commands are @code{@@deffn}, @code{@@defun},
+@code{@@defmac}, and the like, and enable you to write descriptions in
+a uniform format.@refill
+
+@itemize @bullet
+@item
+Write just one definition command for each entity you define with a
+definition command. The automatic indexing feature creates an index
+entry that leads the reader to the definition.
+
+@item
+Use @code{@@table} @dots{} @code{@@end table} in an appendix that
+contains a summary of functions, not @code{@@deffn} or other definition
+commands.
+@end itemize
+
+@subsubheading Capitalization
+
+@itemize @bullet
+@item
+Capitalize ``Texinfo''; it is a name. Do not write the @samp{x} or
+@samp{i} in upper case.
+
+@item
+Capitalize ``Info''; it is a name.
+
+@item
+Write @TeX{} using the @code{@@TeX@{@}} command. Note the uppercase
+@samp{T} and @samp{X}. This command causes the formatters to
+typeset the name according to the wishes of Donald Knuth, who wrote
+@TeX{}.
+@end itemize
+
+@subsubheading Spaces
+
+Do not use spaces to format a Texinfo file, except inside of
+@code{@@example} @dots{} @code{@@end example} and similar commands.
+
+@need 700
+For example, @TeX{} fills the following:
+
+@example
+@group
+ @@kbd@{C-x v@}
+ @@kbd@{M-x vc-next-action@}
+ Perform the next logical operation
+ on the version-controlled file
+ corresponding to the current buffer.
+@end group
+@end example
+
+@need 950
+@noindent
+so it looks like this:
+
+@iftex
+@quotation
+ @kbd{C-x v}
+ @kbd{M-x vc-next-action}
+ Perform the next logical operation on the version-controlled file
+ corresponding to the current buffer.
+@end quotation
+@end iftex
+@ifinfo
+@quotation
+`C-x v' `M-x vc-next-action' Perform the next logical operation on the
+version-controlled file corresponding to the current buffer.
+@end quotation
+@end ifinfo
+
+@noindent
+In this case, the text should be formatted with
+@code{@@table}, @code{@@item}, and @code{@@itemx}, to create a table.
+
+@subsubheading @@code, @@samp, @@var, and @samp{---}
+
+@itemize @bullet
+@item
+Use @code{@@code} around Lisp symbols, including command names.
+For example,
+
+@example
+The main function is @@code@{vc-next-action@}, @dots{}
+@end example
+
+@item
+Avoid putting letters such as @samp{s} immediately after an
+@samp{@@code}. Such letters look bad.
+
+@item
+Use @code{@@var} around meta-variables. Do not write angle brackets
+around them.
+
+@item
+Use three hyphens in a row, @samp{---}, to indicate a long dash. @TeX{}
+typesets these as a long dash and the Info formatters reduce three
+hyphens to two.
+@end itemize
+
+@subsubheading Periods Outside of Quotes
+
+Place periods and other punctuation marks @emph{outside} of quotations,
+unless the punctuation is part of the quotation. This practice goes
+against publishing conventions in the United States, but enables the
+reader to distinguish between the contents of the quotation and the
+whole passage.
+
+For example, you should write the following sentence with the period
+outside the end quotation marks:
+
+@example
+Evidently, @samp{au} is an abbreviation for ``author''.
+@end example
+
+@noindent
+since @samp{au} does @emph{not} serve as an abbreviation for
+@samp{author.} (with a period following the word).
+
+@subsubheading Introducing New Terms
+
+@itemize @bullet
+@item
+Introduce new terms so that a reader who does not know them can
+understand them from context; or write a definition for the term.
+
+For example, in the following, the terms ``check in'', ``register'' and
+``delta'' are all appearing for the first time; the example sentence should be
+rewritten so they are understandable.
+
+@quotation
+The major function assists you in checking in a file to your
+version control system and registering successive sets of changes to
+it as deltas.
+@end quotation
+
+@item
+Use the @code{@@dfn} command around a word being introduced, to indicate
+that the reader should not expect to know the meaning already, and
+should expect to learn the meaning from this passage.
+@end itemize
+
+@subsubheading @@pxref
+
+@c !!! maybe include this in the tips on pxref
+@ignore
+By the way, it is okay to use pxref with something else in front of
+it within the parens, as long as the pxref is followed by the close
+paren, and the material inside the parens is not part of a larger
+sentence. Also, you can use xref inside parens as part of a complete
+sentence so long as you terminate the cross reference with punctuation.
+@end ignore
+Absolutely never use @code{@@pxref} except in the special context for
+which it is designed: inside parentheses, with the closing parenthesis
+following immediately after the closing brace. One formatter
+automatically inserts closing punctuation and the other does not. This
+means that the output looks right both in printed output and in an Info
+file, but only when the command is used inside parentheses.
+
+@subsubheading Invoking from a Shell
+
+You can invoke programs such as Emacs, GCC, and @code{gawk} from a
+shell. The documentation for each program should contain a section that
+describes this. Unfortunately, if the node names and titles for these
+sections are all different, readers find it hard to search for the
+section.@refill
+
+Name such sections with a phrase beginning with the word
+@w{`Invoking @dots{}'}, as in `Invoking Emacs'; this way
+users can find the section easily.
+
+@subsubheading ANSI C Syntax
+
+When you use @code{@@example} to describe a C function's calling
+conventions, use the ANSI C syntax, like this:@refill
+
+@example
+void dld_init (char *@@var@{path@});
+@end example

+Also, it is best to avoid writing @code{#include} above the

+
+@quotation
+When you are done editing the file, you must perform a
+@code{@@dfn}@{check in@}.
+@end quotation
+
+In the following example, say, ``@dots{} makes a unified interface such as VC
+mode possible.''
+
+@quotation
+SCCS, RCS and other version-control systems all perform similar
+functions in broadly similar ways (it is this resemblance which makes
+a unified control mode like this possible).

+And in this example, you should specify what `it' refers to:

+@appendixsec How to Use Include Files
+@findex include
+
+To include another file within a Texinfo file, write the
+@code{@@include} command at the beginning of a line and follow it on
+the same line by the name of a file to be included. For
+example:@refill
+
+@example
+@@include buffers.texi
+@end example
+
+An included file should simply be a segment of text that you expect to
+be included as is into the overall or @dfn{outer} Texinfo file; it
+should not contain the standard beginning and end parts of a Texinfo
+file. In particular, you should not start an included file with a
+line saying @samp{\input texinfo}; if you do, that phrase is inserted
+into the output file as is. Likewise, you should not end an included
+file with an @code{@@bye} command; nothing after @code{@@bye} is
+formatted.@refill
+
+In the past, you were required to write an @code{@@setfilename} line at the
+beginning of an included file, but no longer. Now, it does not matter
+whether you write such a line. If an @code{@@setfilename} line exists
+in an included file, it is ignored.@refill
+
+Conventionally, an included file begins with an @code{@@node} line that
+is followed by an @code{@@chapter} line. Each included file is one
+chapter. This makes it easy to use the regular node and menu creating
+and updating commands to create the node pointers and menus within the
+included file. However, the simple Emacs node and menu creating and
+updating commands do not work with multiple Texinfo files. Thus you
+cannot use these commands to fill in the `Next', `Previous', and `Up'
+pointers of the @code{@@node} line that begins the included file. Also,
+you cannot use the regular commands to create a master menu for the
+whole file. Either you must insert the menus and the `Next',
+`Previous', and `Up' pointers by hand, or you must use the GNU Emacs
+Texinfo mode command, @code{texinfo-multiple-files-update}, that is
+designed for @code{@@include} files.@refill

+GNU Emacs Texinfo mode provides the @code{texinfo-multiple-files-update}
+command. This command creates or updates `Next', `Previous', and `Up'
+pointers of included files as well as those in the outer or overall
+Texinfo file, and it creates or updates a main menu in the outer file.
+Depending whether you call it with optional arguments, the command
+updates only the pointers in the first @code{@@node} line of the

+
+When Info was first created, it was customary to create many small
+Info files on one subject. Each Info file was formatted from its own
+Texinfo source file. This custom meant that Emacs did not need to
+make a large buffer to hold the whole of a large Info file when
+someone wanted information; instead, Emacs allocated just enough
+memory for the small Info file that contained the particular
+information sought. This way, Emacs could avoid wasting memory.@refill
+
+References from one file to another were made by referring to the file
+name as well as the node name. (@xref{Other Info Files, , Referring to
+Other Info Files}. Also, see @ref{Four and Five Arguments, ,
+@code{@@xref} with Four and Five Arguments}.)@refill
+
+Include files were designed primarily as a way to create a single,
+large printed manual out of several smaller Info files. In a printed
+manual, all the references were within the same document, so @TeX{}
+could automatically determine the references' page numbers. The Info
+formatting commands used include files only for creating joint
+indices; each of the individual Texinfo files had to be formatted for
+Info individually. (Each, therefore, required its own
+@code{@@setfilename} line.)@refill
+
+However, because large Info files are now split automatically, it is
+no longer necessary to keep them small.@refill
+
+Nowadays, multiple Texinfo files are used mostly for large documents,
+such as @cite{The GNU Emacs Lisp Reference Manual}, and for projects
+in which several different people write different sections of a
+document simultaneously.@refill
+
+In addition, the Info formatting commands have been extended to work
+with the @code{@@include} command so as to create a single large Info
+file that is split into smaller files if necessary. This means that
+you can write menus and cross references without naming the different
+Texinfo files.@refill

+Texinfo provides standard page heading formats for manuals that are
+printed on one side of each sheet of paper and for manuals that are
+printed on both sides of the paper. Typically, you will use these
+formats, but you can specify your own format if you wish.@refill
+
+In addition, you can specify whether chapters should begin on a new
+page, or merely continue the same page as the previous chapter; and if
+chapters begin on new pages, you can specify whether they must be
+odd-numbered pages.@refill
+
+By convention, a book is printed on both sides of each sheet of paper.
+When you open a book, the right-hand page is odd-numbered, and
+chapters begin on right-hand pages---a preceding left-hand page is
+left blank if necessary. Reports, however, are often printed on just
+one side of paper, and chapters begin on a fresh page immediately
+following the end of the preceding chapter. In short or informal
+reports, chapters often do not begin on a new page at all, but are
+separated from the preceding text by a small amount of whitespace.@refill
+
+The @code{@@setchapternewpage} command controls whether chapters begin
+on new pages, and whether one of the standard heading formats is used.
+In addition, Texinfo has several heading and footing commands that you
+can use to generate your own heading and footing formats.@refill
+
+In Texinfo, headings and footings are single lines at the tops and
+bottoms of pages; you cannot create multiline headings or footings.
+Each header or footer line is divided into three parts: a left part, a
+middle part, and a right part. Any part, or a whole line, may be left
+blank. Text for the left part of a header or footer line is set
+flushleft; text for the middle part is centered; and, text for the
+right part is set flushright.@refill

+
+Texinfo provides two standard heading formats, one for manuals printed
+on one side of each sheet of paper, and the other for manuals printed
+on both sides of the paper.
+
+By default, nothing is specified for the footing of a Texinfo file,
+so the footing remains blank.@refill
+
+The standard format for single-sided printing consists of a header
+line in which the left-hand part contains the name of the chapter, the
+central part is blank, and the right-hand part contains the page
+number.@refill
+
+@need 950
+A single-sided page looks like this:
+
+@example
+@group
+ _______________________
+ | |
+ | chapter page number |
+ | |
+ | Start of text ... |
+ | ... |
+ | |
+
+@end group
+@end example
+
+The standard format for two-sided printing depends on whether the page
+number is even or odd. By convention, even-numbered pages are on the
+left- and odd-numbered pages are on the right. (@TeX{} will adjust the
+widths of the left- and right-hand margins. Usually, widths are
+correct, but during double-sided printing, it is wise to check that
+pages will bind properly---sometimes a printer will produce output in
+which the even-numbered pages have a larger right-hand margin than the
+odd-numbered pages.)@refill
+
+In the standard double-sided format, the left part of the left-hand
+(even-numbered) page contains the page number, the central part is
+blank, and the right part contains the title (specified by the
+@code{@@settitle} command). The left part of the right-hand
+(odd-numbered) page contains the name of the chapter, the central part
+is blank, and the right part contains the page number.@refill

+@appendixsec How to Make Your Own Headings
+
+You can use the standard headings provided with Texinfo or specify
+your own. By default, Texinfo has no footers, so if you specify them,
+the available page size for the main text will be slightly reduced.
+
+@c Following paragraph is verbose to prevent overfull hboxes.
+Texinfo provides six commands for specifying headings and
+footings. The @code{@@everyheading} command and
+@code{@@everyfooting} command generate page headers and footers
+that are the same for both even- and odd-numbered pages.
+The @code{@@evenheading} command and @code{@@evenfooting}
+command generate headers and footers for even-numbered
+(left-hand) pages; and the @code{@@oddheading} command and
+@code{@@oddfooting} command generate headers and footers for
+odd-numbered (right-hand) pages.@refill
+
+Write custom heading specifications in the Texinfo file immediately
+after the @code{@@end titlepage} command. Enclose your specifications
+between @code{@@iftex} and @code{@@end iftex} commands since the
+@code{texinfo-format-buffer} command may not recognize them. Also,
+you must cancel the predefined heading commands with the
+@code{@@headings off} command before defining your own
+specifications.@refill

+part from the right part by inserting @samp{@@|} between parts.

+The @code{makeinfo} program does an excellent job of catching errors
+and reporting them---far better than @code{texinfo-format-region} or
+@code{texinfo-format-buffer}. In addition, the various functions for
+automatically creating and updating node pointers and menus remove
+many opportunities for human error.@refill
+
+If you can, use the updating commands to create and insert pointers
+and menus. These prevent many errors. Then use @code{makeinfo} (or
+its Texinfo mode manifestations, @code{makeinfo-region} and
+@code{makeinfo-buffer}) to format your file and check for other
+errors. This is the best way to work with Texinfo. But if you
+cannot use @code{makeinfo}, or your problem is very puzzling, then you
+may want to use the tools described in this appendix.@refill

+
+After you have written part of a Texinfo file, you can use the
+@code{texinfo-format-region} or the @code{makeinfo-region} command to
+see whether the region formats properly.@refill
+
+Most likely, however, you are reading this section because for some
+reason you cannot use the @code{makeinfo-region} command; therefore, the
+rest of this section presumes that you are using
+@code{texinfo-format-region}.@refill
+
+If you have made a mistake with an @@-command,
+@code{texinfo-format-region} will stop processing at or after the
+error and display an error message. To see where in the buffer the
+error occurred, switch to the @samp{*Info Region*} buffer; the cursor
+will be in a position that is after the location of the error. Also,
+the text will not be formatted after the place where the error
+occurred (or more precisely, where it was detected).@refill
+
+For example, if you accidentally end a menu with the command @code{@@end
+menus} with an `s' on the end, instead of with @code{@@end menu}, you
+will see an error message that says:@refill
+
+@example
+@@end menus is not handled by texinfo
+@end example
+
+@noindent
+The cursor will stop at the point in the buffer where the error
+occurs, or not long after it. The buffer will look like this:@refill

+---------- Buffer: *Info Region* ----------

+
+The @code{texinfo-format-region} command sometimes provides slightly
+odd error messages. For example, the following cross reference fails to format:@refill
+
+@example
+(@@xref@{Catching Mistakes, for more info.)
+@end example
+
+@noindent
+In this case, @code{texinfo-format-region} detects the missing closing
+brace but displays a message that says @samp{Unbalanced parentheses}
+rather than @samp{Unbalanced braces}. This is because the formatting
+command looks for mismatches between braces as if they were
+parentheses.@refill
+
+Sometimes @code{texinfo-format-region} fails to detect mistakes. For
+example, in the following, the closing brace is swapped with the
+closing parenthesis:@refill
+
+@example
+(@@xref@{Catching Mistakes), for more info.@}
+@end example
+
+@noindent
+Formatting produces:
+@example
+(*Note for more info.: Catching Mistakes)
+@end example
+
+The only way for you to detect this error is to realize that the
+reference should have looked like this:@refill
+
+@example
+(*Note Catching Mistakes::, for more info.)
+@end example
+
+Incidentally, if you are reading this node in Info and type @kbd{f
+@key{RET}} (@code{Info-follow-reference}), you will generate an error
+message that says:
+
+@example
+No such node: "Catching Mistakes) The only way @dots{}
+@end example
+
+@noindent
+This is because Info perceives the example of the error as the first
+cross reference in this node and if you type a @key{RET} immediately
+after typing the Info @kbd{f} command, Info will attempt to go to the
+referenced node. If you type @kbd{f catch @key{TAB} @key{RET}}, Info
+will complete the node name of the correctly written example and take
+you to the `Catching Mistakes' node. (If you try this, you can return
+from the `Catching Mistakes' node by typing @kbd{l}
+(@code{Info-last}).)
+
+@c !!! section on using Elisp debugger ignored.

+If an error is especially elusive, you can turn on the Emacs Lisp

+turn on the debugger with the command:@refill

+@end example
+
+Often, when you are using the debugger, it is easier to follow what is
+going on if you use the Emacs Lisp files that are not byte-compiled.
+The byte-compiled sources send octal numbers to the debugger that may
+look mysterious. To use the uncompiled source files, load
+@file{texinfmt.el} and @file{texinfo.el} with the @kbd{M-x load-file}
+command.@refill
+
+The debugger will not catch an error if @code{texinfo-format-region}
+does not detect one. In the example shown above,
+@code{texinfo-format-region} did not find the error when the whole
+list was formatted, but only when part of the list was formatted.
+When @code{texinfo-format-region} did not find an error, the debugger
+did not find one either. @refill
+
+However, when @code{texinfo-format-region} did report an error, it

+@end example
+
+@noindent
+@samp{@@par} is an internal @TeX{} command of no relevance to Texinfo.
+@samp{l.27} means that @TeX{} detected the problem on line 27 of the
+Texinfo file. The @samp{?} is the prompt @TeX{} uses in this
+circumstance.@refill
+
+Unfortunately, @TeX{} is not always so helpful, and sometimes you must
+truly be a Sherlock Holmes to discover what went wrong.@refill
+
+In any case, if you run into a problem like this, you can do one of three
+things.@refill
+
+@enumerate
+@item
+You can tell @TeX{} to continue running and ignore just this error by
+typing @key{RET} at the @samp{?} prompt.@refill
+
+@item
+You can tell @TeX{} to continue running and to ignore all errors as best
+it can by typing @kbd{r @key{RET}} at the @samp{?} prompt.@refill
+
+This is often the best thing to do. However, beware: the one error
+may produce a cascade of additional error messages as its consequences
+are felt through the rest of the file. To stop @TeX{} when it is
+producing such an avalanche of error messages, type @kbd{C-c} (or
+@kbd{C-c C-c}, if you are running a shell inside Emacs).
+
+@item
+You can tell @TeX{} to stop this run by typing @kbd{x @key{RET}}
+at the @samp{?} prompt.@refill
+@end enumerate
+
+Please note that if you are running @TeX{} inside Emacs, you need to
+switch to the shell buffer and line at which @TeX{} offers the @samp{?}
+prompt.@refill
+
+Sometimes @TeX{} will format a file without producing error messages even
+though there is a problem. This usually occurs if a command is not ended
+but @TeX{} is able to continue processing anyhow. For example, if you fail
+to end an itemized list with the @code{@@end itemize} command, @TeX{} will
+write a DVI file that you can print out. The only error message that
+@TeX{} will give you is the somewhat mysterious comment that@refill
+
+@example
+(@@end occurred inside a group at level 1)
+@end example
+
+@noindent
+However, if you print the DVI file, you will find that the text
+of the file that follows the itemized list is entirely indented as if
+it were part of the last item in the itemized list. The error message
+is the way @TeX{} says that it expected to find an @code{@@end}
+command somewhere in the file; but that it could not determine where
+it was needed.@refill
+
+Another source of notoriously hard-to-find errors is a missing
+@code{@@end group} command. If you ever are stumped by
+incomprehensible errors, look for a missing @code{@@end group} command
+first.@refill
+
+If the Texinfo file lacks header lines,
+@TeX{} may stop in the
+beginning of its run and display output that looks like the following.
+The @samp{*} indicates that @TeX{} is waiting for input.@refill
+
+@example
+This is TeX, Version 3.14159 (Web2c 7.0)
+(test.texinfo [1])
+*
+@end example
+
+@noindent
+In this case, simply type @kbd{\end @key{RET}} after the asterisk. Then
+write the header lines in the Texinfo file and run the @TeX{} command
+again. (Note the use of the backslash, @samp{\}. @TeX{} uses @samp{\}
+instead of @samp{@@}; and in this circumstance, you are working

+If your file is valid, you will receive a message that says ``File appears

+error messages will be displayed in a buffer called @samp{*problems in

+
+For example, @code{Info-validate} was run on a test file that contained
+only the first node of this manual. One of the messages said:@refill
+
+@example
+In node "Overview", invalid Next: Texinfo Mode
+@end example
+
+@noindent
+This meant that the node called @samp{Overview} had a `Next' pointer that
+did not point to anything (which was true in this case, since the test file
+had only one node in it).@refill
+
+Now suppose we add a node named @samp{Texinfo Mode} to our test case
+but we do not specify a `Previous' for this node. Then we will get
+the following error message:@refill
+
+@example
+In node "Texinfo Mode", should have Previous: Overview
+@end example
+
+@noindent
+This is because every `Next' pointer should be matched by a
+`Previous' (in the node where the `Next' points) which points back.@refill
+
+@code{Info-validate} also checks that all menu entries and cross references
+point to actual nodes.@refill
+
+Note that @code{Info-validate} requires a tag table and does not work
+with files that have been split. (The @code{texinfo-format-buffer}
+command automatically splits large files.) In order to use
+@code{Info-validate} on a large file, you must run
+@code{texinfo-format-buffer} with an argument so that it does not split
+the Info file; and you must create a tag table for the unsplit
+file.@refill

+@cindex Unsplit file creation
+
+You can run @code{Info-validate} only on a single Info file that has a
+tag table. The command will not work on the indirect subfiles that
+are generated when a master file is split. If you have a large file
+(longer than 70,000 bytes or so), you need to run the
+@code{texinfo-format-buffer} or @code{makeinfo-buffer} command in such
+a way that it does not create indirect subfiles. You will also need
+to create a tag table for the Info file. After you have done this,
+you can run @code{Info-validate} and look for badly referenced
+nodes.@refill
+
+The first step is to create an unsplit Info file. To prevent
+@code{texinfo-format-buffer} from splitting a Texinfo file into
+smaller Info files, give a prefix to the @kbd{M-x
+texinfo-format-buffer} command:@refill
+
+@example
+C-u M-x texinfo-format-buffer
+@end example
+
+@noindent
+or else
+
+@example
+C-u C-c C-e C-b

+When you do this, Texinfo will not split the file and will not create
+a tag table for it. @refill

+@cindex Tag table, making manually
+
+@node Tagifying, Splitting, Unsplit, Running Info-Validate
+@appendixsubsec Tagifying a File
+
+After creating an unsplit Info file, you must create a tag table for
+it. Visit the Info file you wish to tagify and type:@refill
+
+@example
+M-x Info-tagify
+@end example
+
+@noindent
+(Note the upper case @samp{I} in @code{Info-tagify}.) This creates an
+Info file with a tag table that you can validate.@refill
+
+The third step is to validate the Info file:@refill
+
+@example
+M-x Info-validate
+@end example
+
+@noindent
+(Note the upper case @samp{I} in @code{Info-validate}.)
+In brief, the steps are:@refill
+
+@example
+@group
+C-u M-x texinfo-format-buffer
+M-x Info-tagify
+M-x Info-validate
+@end group
+@end example
+
+After you have validated the node structure, you can rerun
+@code{texinfo-format-buffer} in the normal way so it will construct a
+tag table and split the file automatically, or you can make the tag
+table and split the file manually.@refill
+
+@node Splitting, , Tagifying, Running Info-Validate
+@comment node-name, next, previous, up
+@appendixsubsec Splitting a File Manually
+@cindex Splitting an Info file manually
+@cindex Info file, splitting manually
+
+You should split a large file or else let the
+@code{texinfo-format-buffer} or @code{makeinfo-buffer} command do it
+for you automatically. (Generally you will let one of the formatting
+commands do this job for you. @xref{Create an Info File}.)@refill
+
+The split-off files are called the indirect subfiles.@refill
+
+Info files are split to save memory. With smaller files, Emacs does not
+have make such a large buffer to hold the information.@refill
+
+If an Info file has more than 30 nodes, you should also make a tag
+table for it. @xref{Using Info-validate}, for information
+about creating a tag table. (Again, tag tables are usually created
+automatically by the formatting command; you only need to create a tag
+table yourself if you are doing the job manually. Most likely, you
+will do this for a large, unsplit file on which you have run
+@code{Info-validate}.)@refill
+
+@c Info-split is autoloaded in `loaddefs.el' in Emacs 18.51
+@ignore
+Before running @code{Info-split}, you need to load the @code{info} library
+into Emacs by giving the command @kbd{M-x load-library @key{RET} info
+@key{RET}}.
+@end ignore
+
+Visit the Info file you wish to tagify and split and type the two
+commands:@refill
+
+@example
+M-x Info-tagify
+M-x Info-split
+@end example
+
+@noindent
+(Note that the @samp{I} in @samp{Info} is upper case.)@refill
+
+When you use the @code{Info-split} command, the buffer is modified into a
+(small) Info file which lists the indirect subfiles. This file should be
+saved in place of the original visited file. The indirect subfiles are
+written in the same directory the original file is in, with names generated
+by appending @samp{-} and a number to the original file name.@refill
+
+The primary file still functions as an Info file, but it contains just
+the tag table and a directory of subfiles.@refill

+@node Refilling Paragraphs, Command Syntax, Catching Mistakes, Top
+@appendix Refilling Paragraphs
+@cindex Refilling paragraphs
+@cindex Filling paragraphs
+@findex refill
+
+The @code{@@refill} command refills and, optionally, indents the first
+line of a paragraph.@footnote{Perhaps the command should have been
+called the @code{@@refillandindent} command, but @code{@@refill} is
+shorter and the name was chosen before indenting was possible.} The
+@code{@@refill} command is no longer important, but we describe it here
+because you once needed it. You will see it in many old Texinfo
+files.@refill
+
+Without refilling, paragraphs containing long @@-constructs may look
+bad after formatting because the formatter removes @@-commands and
+shortens some lines more than others. In the past, neither the
+@code{texinfo-format-region} command nor the
+@code{texinfo-format-buffer} command refilled paragraphs
+automatically. The @code{@@refill} command had to be written at the
+end of every paragraph to cause these formatters to fill them. (Both
+@TeX{} and @code{makeinfo} have always refilled paragraphs
+automatically.) Now, all the Info formatters automatically fill and
+indent those paragraphs that need to be filled and indented.@refill
+
+The @code{@@refill} command causes @code{texinfo-format-region} and
+@code{texinfo-format-buffer} to refill a paragraph in the Info file
+@emph{after} all the other processing has been done. For this reason,
+you can not use @code{@@refill} with a paragraph containing either
+@code{@@*} or @code{@@w@{ @dots{} @}} since the refilling action will
+override those two commands.@refill
+
+The @code{texinfo-format-region} and @code{texinfo-format-buffer}
+commands now automatically append @code{@@refill} to the end of each
+paragraph that should be filled. They do not append @code{@@refill} to
+the ends of paragraphs that contain @code{@@*} or @w{@code{@@w@{ @dots{}@}}}
+and therefore do not refill or indent them.@refill
+
+
+@node Command Syntax, Obtaining TeX, Refilling Paragraphs, Top
+@comment node-name, next, previous, up
+@appendix @@-Command Syntax
+@cindex @@-command syntax
+
+The character @samp{@@} is used to start special Texinfo commands.
+(It has the same meaning that @samp{\} has in plain @TeX{}.) Texinfo
+has four types of @@-command:@refill
+
+@table @asis
+@item 1. Non-alphabetic commands.
+These commands consist of an @@ followed by a punctuation mark or other
+character that is not part of the alphabet. Non-alphabetic commands are
+almost always part of the text within a paragraph, and never take any
+argument. The two characters (@@ and the other one) are complete in
+themselves; none is followed by braces. The non-alphabetic commands
+are: @code{@@.}, @code{@@:}, @code{@@*}, @code{@@@kbd{SPACE}},
+@code{@@@kbd{TAB}}, @code{@@@kbd{NL}}, @code{@@@@}, @code{@@@{}, and
+@code{@@@}}.@refill
+
+@item 2. Alphabetic commands that do not require arguments.
+These commands start with @@ followed by a word followed by left- and
+right-hand braces. These commands insert special symbols in the
+document; they do not require arguments. For example,
+@code{@@dots@{@}} @result{} @samp{@dots{}}, @code{@@equiv@{@}}
+@result{} @samp{@equiv{}}, @code{@@TeX@{@}} @result{} `@TeX{}',
+and @code{@@bullet@{@}} @result{} @samp{@bullet{}}.@refill
+
+@item 3. Alphabetic commands that require arguments within braces.
+These commands start with @@ followed by a letter or a word, followed by an
+argument within braces. For example, the command @code{@@dfn} indicates
+the introductory or defining use of a term; it is used as follows: @samp{In
+Texinfo, @@@@-commands are @@dfn@{mark-up@} commands.}@refill
+
+@item 4. Alphabetic commands that occupy an entire line.
+These commands occupy an entire line. The line starts with @@,
+followed by the name of the command (a word); for example, @code{@@center}
+or @code{@@cindex}. If no argument is needed, the word is followed by
+the end of the line. If there is an argument, it is separated from
+the command name by a space. Braces are not used.@refill
+@end table
+
+@cindex Braces and argument syntax
+Thus, the alphabetic commands fall into classes that have
+different argument syntaxes. You cannot tell to which class a command
+belongs by the appearance of its name, but you can tell by the
+command's meaning: if the command stands for a glyph, it is in
+class 2 and does not require an argument; if it makes sense to use the
+command together with other text as part of a paragraph, the command
+is in class 3 and must be followed by an argument in braces;
+otherwise, it is in class 4 and uses the rest of the line as its
+argument.@refill
+
+The purpose of having a different syntax for commands of classes 3 and
+4 is to make Texinfo files easier to read, and also to help the GNU
+Emacs paragraph and filling commands work properly. There is only one
+exception to this rule: the command @code{@@refill}, which is always
+used at the end of a paragraph immediately following the final period
+or other punctuation character. @code{@@refill} takes no argument and
+does @emph{not} require braces. @code{@@refill} never confuses the
+Emacs paragraph commands because it cannot appear at the beginning of
+a line.@refill

+@node Options
+@chapter Command Line Options
+@cindex command line options
+@cindex arguments, command line
+
+GNU Info accepts several options to control the initial node being
+viewed, and to specify which directories to search for info files. Here
+is a template showing an invocation of GNU Info from the shell:
+
+@example
+info [--@var{option-name} @var{option-value}] @var{menu-item}@dots{}
+@end example
+
+The following @var{option-names} are available when invoking Info from
+the shell:
+
+@table @code
+@cindex directory path
+@item --directory @var{directory-path}
+@itemx -d @var{directory-path}
+Adds @var{directory-path} to the list of directory paths searched when
+Info needs to find a file. You may issue @code{--directory} multiple
+times; once for each directory which contains info files.
+Alternatively, you may specify a value for the environment variable
+@code{INFOPATH}; if @code{--directory} is not given, the value of
+@code{INFOPATH} is used. The value of @code{INFOPATH} is a colon
+separated list of directory names. If you do not supply
+@code{INFOPATH} or @code{--directory-path} a default path is used.
+
+@item --file @var{filename}
+@itemx -f @var{filename}
+@cindex info file, selecting
+Specifies a particular info file to visit. Instead of visiting the file
+@code{dir}, Info will start with @code{(@var{filename})Top} as the first
+file and node.
+
+@item --node @var{nodename}
+@itemx -n @var{nodename}
+@cindex node, selecting
+Specifies a particular node to visit in the initial file loaded. This
+is especially useful in conjunction with @code{--file}@footnote{Of
+course, you can specify both the file and node in a @code{--node}
+command; but don't forget to escape the open and close parentheses from
+the shell as in: @code{info --node '(emacs)Buffers'}}. You may specify
+@code{--node} multiple times; for an interactive Info, each
+@var{nodename} is visited in its own window, for a non-interactive Info
+(such as when @code{--output} is given) each @var{nodename} is processed
+sequentially.
+
+@item --output @var{filename}
+@itemx -o @var{filename}
+@cindex file, outputting to
+@cindex outputting to a file
+Specify @var{filename} as the name of a file to output to. Each node
+that Info visits will be output to @var{filename} instead of
+interactively viewed. A value of @code{-} for @var{filename} specifies
+the standard output.
+
+@item --subnodes
+@cindex @code{--subnodes}, command line option
+This option only has meaning when given in conjunction with
+@code{--output}. It means to recursively output the nodes appearing in
+the menus of each node being output. Menu items which resolve to
+external info files are not output, and neither are menu items which are
+members of an index. Each node is only output once.
+
+@item --help
+@itemx -h
+Produces a relatively brief description of the available Info options.
+
+@item --version
+@cindex version information
+Prints the version information of Info and exits.
+
+@item @var{menu-item}
+@cindex menu, following
+Remaining arguments to Info are treated as the names of menu items. The
+first argument would be a menu item in the initial node visited, while
+the second argument would be a menu item in the first argument's node.
+You can easily move to the node of your choice by specifying the menu
+names which describe the path to that node. For example,
+
+@example
+info emacs buffers
+@end example
+
+first selects the menu item @samp{Emacs} in the node @samp{(dir)Top},
+and then selects the menu item @samp{Buffers} in the node
+@samp{(emacs)Top}.
+
+@end table
+
+@node Cursor Commands
+@chapter Moving the Cursor
+@cindex cursor, moving
+Many people find that reading screens of text page by page is made
+easier when one is able to indicate particular pieces of text with some
+kind of pointing device. Since this is the case, GNU Info (both the
+Emacs and standalone versions) have several commands which allow you to
+move the cursor about the screen. The notation used in this manual to
+describe keystrokes is identical to the notation used within the Emacs
+manual, and the GNU Readline manual. @xref{Characters, , Character
+Conventions, emacs, the GNU Emacs Manual}, if you are unfamilar with the
+notation.
+
+The following table lists the basic cursor movement commands in Info.
+Each entry consists of the key sequence you should type to execute the
+cursor movement, the @code{M-x}@footnote{@code{M-x} is also a command; it
+invokes @code{execute-extended-command}. @xref{M-x, , Executing an
+extended command, emacs, the GNU Emacs Manual}, for more detailed
+information.} command name (displayed in parentheses), and a short
+description of what the command does. All of the cursor motion commands
+can take an @dfn{numeric} argument (@pxref{Miscellaneous Commands,
+@code{universal-argument}}), to find out how to supply them. With a
+numeric argument, the motion commands are simply executed that
+many times; for example, a numeric argument of 4 given to
+@code{next-line} causes the cursor to move down 4 lines. With a
+negative numeric argument, the motion is reversed; an argument of -4
+given to the @code{next-line} command would cause the cursor to move
+@emph{up} 4 lines.
+
+@table @asis
+@item @code{C-n} (@code{next-line})
+@kindex C-n
+@findex next-line
+Moves the cursor down to the next line.
+
+@item @code{C-p} (@code{prev-line})
+@kindex C-p
+@findex prev-line
+Move the cursor up to the previous line.
+
+@item @code{C-a} (@code{beginning-of-line})
+@kindex C-a, in Info windows
+@findex beginning-of-line
+Move the cursor to the start of the current line.
+
+@item @code{C-e} (@code{end-of-line})
+@kindex C-e, in Info windows
+@findex end-of-line
+Moves the cursor to the end of the current line.
+
+@item @code{C-f} (@code{forward-char})
+@kindex C-f, in Info windows
+@findex forward-char
+Move the cursor forward a character.
+
+@item @code{C-b} (@code{backward-char})
+@kindex C-b, in Info windows
+@findex backward-char
+Move the cursor backward a character.
+
+@item @code{M-f} (@code{forward-word})
+@kindex M-f, in Info windows
+@findex forward-word
+Moves the cursor forward a word.
+
+@item @code{M-b} (@code{backward-word})
+@kindex M-b, in Info winows
+@findex backward-word
+Moves the cursor backward a word.
+
+@item @code{M-<} (@code{beginning-of-node})
+@itemx @code{b}
+@kindex b, in Info winows
+@kindex M-<
+@findex beginning-of-node
+Moves the cursor to the start of the current node.
+
+@item @code{M->} (@code{end-of-node})
+@kindex M->
+@findex end-of-node
+Moves the cursor to the end of the current node.
+
+@item @code{M-r} (@code{move-to-window-line})
+@kindex M-r
+@findex move-to-window-line
+Moves the cursor to a specific line of the window. Without a numeric
+argument, @code{M-r} moves the cursor to the start of the line in the
+center of the window. With a numeric argument of @var{n}, @code{M-r}
+moves the cursor to the start of the @var{n}th line in the window.
+@end table
+
+@node Scrolling Commands
+@chapter Moving Text Within a Window
+@cindex scrolling
+
+Sometimes you are looking at a screenful of text, and only part of the
+current paragraph you are reading is visible on the screen. The
+commands detailed in this section are used to shift which part of the
+current node is visible on the screen.
+
+@table @asis
+@item @code{SPC} (@code{scroll-forward})
+@itemx @code{C-v}
+@kindex SPC, in Info windows
+@kindex C-v
+@findex scroll-forward
+Shift the text in this window up. That is, show more of the node which
+is currently below the bottom of the window. With a numeric argument,
+show that many more lines at the bottom of the window; a numeric
+argument of 4 would shift all of the text in the window up 4 lines
+(discarding the top 4 lines), and show you four new lines at the bottom
+of the window. Without a numeric argument, @key{SPC} takes the bottom
+two lines of the window and places them at the top of the window,
+redisplaying almost a completely new screenful of lines.
+
+@item @code{DEL} (@code{scroll-backward})
+@itemx @code{M-v}
+@kindex DEL, in Info windows
+@kindex M-v
+@findex scroll-backward
+Shift the text in this window down. The inverse of
+@code{scroll-forward}.
+
+@end table
+
+@cindex scrolling through node structure
+The @code{scroll-forward} and @code{scroll-backward} commands can also
+move forward and backward through the node structure of the file. If
+you press @key{SPC} while viewing the end of a node, or @key{DEL} while
+viewing the beginning of a node, what happens is controlled by the
+variable @code{scroll-behaviour}. @xref{Variables,
+@code{scroll-behaviour}}, for more information.
+
+@table @asis
+@item @code{C-l} (@code{redraw-display})
+@kindex C-l
+@findex redraw-display
+Redraw the display from scratch, or shift the line containing the cursor
+to a specified location. With no numeric argument, @samp{C-l} clears
+the screen, and then redraws its entire contents. Given a numeric
+argument of @var{n}, the line containing the cursor is shifted so that
+it is on the @var{n}th line of the window.
+
+@item @code{C-x w} (@code{toggle-wrap})
+@kindex C-w
+@findex toggle-wrap
+Toggles the state of line wrapping in the current window. Normally,
+lines which are longer than the screen width @dfn{wrap}, i.e., they are
+continued on the next line. Lines which wrap have a @samp{\} appearing
+in the rightmost column of the screen. You can cause such lines to be
+terminated at the rightmost column by changing the state of line
+wrapping in the window with @code{C-x w}. When a line which needs more
+space than one screen width to display is displayed, a @samp{$} appears
+in the rightmost column of the screen, and the remainder of the line is
+invisible.
+@end table
+
+@node Node Commands
+@chapter Selecting a New Node
+@cindex nodes, selection of
+
+This section details the numerous Info commands which select a new node
+to view in the current window.
+
+The most basic node commands are @samp{n}, @samp{p}, @samp{u}, and
+@samp{l}.
+
+When you are viewing a node, the top line of the node contains some Info
+@dfn{pointers} which describe where the next, previous, and up nodes
+are. Info uses this line to move about the node structure of the file
+when you use the following commands:
+
+@table @asis
+@item @code{n} (@code{next-node})
+@kindex n
+@findex next-node
+Selects the `Next' node.
+
+@item @code{p} (@code{prev-node})
+@kindex p
+@findex prev-node
+Selects the `Prev' node.
+
+@item @code{u} (@code{up-node})
+@kindex u
+@findex up-node
+Selects the `Up' node.
+@end table
+
+You can easily select a node that you have already viewed in this window
+by using the @samp{l} command -- this name stands for "last", and
+actually moves through the list of already visited nodes for this
+window. @samp{l} with a negative numeric argument moves forward through
+the history of nodes for this window, so you can quickly step between
+two adjacent (in viewing history) nodes.
+
+@table @asis
+@item @code{l} (@code{history-node})
+@kindex l
+@findex history-node
+Selects the most recently selected node in this window.
+@end table
+
+Two additional commands make it easy to select the most commonly
+selected nodes; they are @samp{t} and @samp{d}.
+
+@table @asis
+@item @code{t} (@code{top-node})
+@kindex t
+@findex top-node
+Selects the node @samp{Top} in the current info file.
+
+@item @code{d} (@code{dir-node})
+@kindex d
+@findex dir-node
+Selects the directory node (i.e., the node @samp{(dir)}).
+@end table
+
+Here are some other commands which immediately result in the selection
+of a different node in the current window:
+
+@table @asis
+@item @code{<} (@code{first-node})
+@kindex <
+@findex first-node
+Selects the first node which appears in this file. This node is most
+often @samp{Top}, but it doesn't have to be.
+
+@item @code{>} (@code{last-node})
+@kindex >
+@findex last-node
+Selects the last node which appears in this file.
+
+@item @code{]} (@code{global-next-node})
+@kindex ]
+@findex global-next-node
+Moves forward or down through node structure. If the node that you are
+currently viewing has a @samp{Next} pointer, that node is selected.
+Otherwise, if this node has a menu, the first menu item is selected. If
+there is no @samp{Next} and no menu, the same process is tried with the
+@samp{Up} node of this node.
+
+@item @code{[} (@code{global-prev-node})
+@kindex [
+@findex global-prev-node
+Moves backward or up through node structure. If the node that you are
+currently viewing has a @samp{Prev} pointer, that node is selected.
+Otherwise, if the node has an @samp{Up} pointer, that node is selected,
+and if it has a menu, the last item in the menu is selected.
+@end table
+
+You can get the same behaviour as @code{global-next-node} and
+@code{global-prev-node} while simply scrolling through the file with
+@key{SPC} and @key{DEL}; @xref{Variables, @code{scroll-behaviour}}, for
+more information.
+
+@table @asis
+@item @code{g} (@code{goto-node})
+@kindex g
+@findex goto-node
+Reads the name of a node and selects it. No completion is done while
+reading the node name, since the desired node may reside in a separate
+file. The node must be typed exactly as it appears in the info file. A
+file name may be included as with any node specification, for example
+
+@example
+@code{g(emacs)Buffers}
+@end example
+
+finds the node @samp{Buffers} in the info file @file{emacs}.
+
+@item @code{C-x k} (@code{kill-node})
+@kindex C-x k
+@findex kill-node
+Kills a node. The node name is prompted for in the echo area, with a
+default of the current node. @dfn{Killing} a node means that Info tries
+hard to forget about it, removing it from the list of history nodes kept
+for the window where that node is found. Another node is selected in
+the window which contained the killed node.
+
+@item @code{C-x C-f} (@code{view-file})
+@kindex C-x C-f
+@findex view-file
+Reads the name of a file and selects the entire file. The command
+@example
+@code{C-x C-f @var{filename}}
+@end example
+is equivalent to typing
+@example
+@code{g(@var{filename})*}
+@end example
+
+@item @code{C-x C-b} (@code{list-visited-nodes})
+@kindex C-x C-b
+@findex list-visited-nodes
+Makes a window containing a menu of all of the currently visited nodes.
+This window becomes the selected window, and you may use the standard
+Info commands within it.
+
+@item @code{C-x b} (@code{select-visited-node})
+@kindex C-x b
+@findex select-visited-node
+Selects a node which has been previously visited in a visible window.
+This is similar to @samp{C-x C-b} followed by @samp{m}, but no window is
+created.
+@end table
+
+@node Searching Commands
+@chapter Searching an Info File
+@cindex searching
+
+GNU Info allows you to search for a sequence of characters throughout an
+entire info file, search through the indices of an info file, or find
+areas within an info file which discuss a particular topic.
+
+@table @asis
+@item @code{s} (@code{search})
+@kindex s
+@findex search
+Reads a string in the echo area and searches for it.
+
+@item @code{C-s} (@code{isearch-forward})
+@kindex C-s
+@findex isearch-forward
+Interactively searches forward through the info file for a string as you
+type it.
+
+@item @code{C-r} (@code{isearch-backward})
+@kindex C-r
+@findex isearch-backward
+Interactively searches backward through the info file for a string as
+you type it.
+
+@item @code{i} (@code{index-search})
+@kindex i
+@findex index-search
+Looks up a string in the indices for this info file, and selects a node
+where the found index entry points to.
+
+@item @code{,} (@code{next-index-match})
+@kindex ,
+@findex next-index-match
+Moves to the node containing the next matching index item from the last
+@samp{i} command.
+@end table
+
+The most basic searching command is @samp{s} (@code{search}). The
+@samp{s} command prompts you for a string in the echo area, and then
+searches the remainder of the info file for an ocurrence of that string.
+If the string is found, the node containing it is selected, and the
+cursor is left positioned at the start of the found string. Subsequent
+@samp{s} commands show you the default search string within @samp{[} and
+@samp{]}; pressing @key{RET} instead of typing a new string will use the
+default search string.
+
+@dfn{Incremental searching} is similar to basic searching, but the
+string is looked up while you are typing it, instead of waiting until
+the entire search string has been specified.
+
+@node Xref Commands
+@chapter Selecting Cross References
+
+We have already discussed the @samp{Next}, @samp{Prev}, and @samp{Up}
+pointers which appear at the top of a node. In addition to these
+pointers, a node may contain other pointers which refer you to a
+different node, perhaps in another info file. Such pointers are called
+@dfn{cross references}, or @dfn{xrefs} for short.
+
+@menu
+* Parts of an Xref:: What a cross reference is made of.
+* Selecting Xrefs:: Commands for selecting menu or note items.
+@end menu
+
+@node Parts of an Xref
+@section Parts of an Xref
+
+Cross references have two major parts: the first part is called the
+@dfn{label}; it is the name that you can use to refer to the cross
+reference, and the second is the @dfn{target}; it is the full name of
+the node that the cross reference points to.
+
+The target is separated from the label by a colon @samp{:}; first the
+label appears, and then the target. For example, in the sample menu
+cross reference below, the single colon separates the label from the
+target.
+
+@example
+* Foo Label: Foo Target. More information about Foo.
+@end example
+
+Note the @samp{.} which ends the name of the target. The @samp{.} is
+not part of the target; it serves only to let Info know where the target
+name ends.
+
+A shorthand way of specifying references allows two adjacent colons to
+stand for a target name which is the same as the label name:
+
+@example
+* Foo Commands:: Commands pertaining to Foo.
+@end example
+
+In the above example, the name of the target is the same as the name of
+the label, in this case @code{Foo Commands}.
+
+You will normally see two types of cross references while viewing nodes:
+@dfn{menu} references, and @dfn{note} references. Menu references
+appear within a node's menu; they begin with a @samp{*} at the beginning
+of a line, and continue with a label, a target, and a comment which
+describes what the contents of the node pointed to contains.
+
+Note references appear within the body of the node text; they begin with
+@code{*Note}, and continue with a label and a target.
+
+Like @samp{Next}, @samp{Prev} and @samp{Up} pointers, cross references
+can point to any valid node. They are used to refer you to a place
+where more detailed information can be found on a particular subject.
+Here is a cross reference which points to a node within the Texinfo
+documentation: @xref{xref, , Writing an Xref, texinfo, the Texinfo
+Manual}, for more information on creating your own texinfo cross
+references.
+
+@node Selecting Xrefs
+@section Selecting Xrefs
+
+The following table lists the Info commands which operate on menu items.
+
+@table @asis
+@item @code{1} (@code{menu-digit})
+@itemx @code{2} @dots{} @code{9}
+@cindex 1 @dots{} 9, in Info windows
+@kindex 1 @dots{} 9, in Info windows
+@findex menu-digit
+Within an Info window, pressing a single digit, (such as @samp{1}),
+selects that menu item, and places its node in the current window.
+For convenience, there is one exception; pressing @samp{0} selects the
+@emph{last} item in the node's menu.
+
+@item @code{0} (@code{last-menu-item})
+@kindex 0, in Info windows
+@findex last-menu-item
+Select the last item in the current node's menu.
+
+@item @code{m} (@code{menu-item})
+@kindex m
+@findex menu-item
+Reads the name of a menu item in the echo area and selects its node.
+Completion is available while reading the menu label.
+
+@item @code{M-x find-menu}
+@findex find-menu
+Moves the cursor to the start of this node's menu.
+@end table
+
+This table lists the Info commands which operate on note cross references.
+
+@table @asis
+@item @code{f} (@code{xref-item})
+@itemx @code{r}
+@kindex f
+@kindex r
+@findex xref-item
+Reads the name of a note cross reference in the echo area and selects
+its node. Completion is available while reading the cross reference
+label.
+@end table
+
+Finally, the next few commands operate on menu or note references alike:
+
+@table @asis
+@item @code{TAB} (@code{move-to-next-xref})
+@kindex TAB, in Info windows
+@findex move-to-next-xref
+Moves the cursor to the start of the next nearest menu item or note
+reference in this node. You can then use @key{RET}
+(@code{select-reference-this-line} to select the menu or note reference.
+
+@item @code{M-TAB} (@code{move-to-prev-xref})
+@kindex M-TAB, in Info windows
+@findex move-to-prev-xref
+Moves the cursor the start of the nearest previous menu item or note
+reference in this node.
+
+@item @code{RET} (@code{select-reference-this-line})
+@kindex RET, in Info windows
+@findex select-reference-this-line
+Selects the menu item or note reference appearing on this line.

+@node Window Commands
+@chapter Manipulating Multiple Windows
+@cindex windows, manipulating
+
+A @dfn{window} is a place to show the text of a node. Windows have a
+view area where the text of the node is displayed, and an associated
+@dfn{mode line}, which briefly describes the node being viewed.
+
+GNU Info supports multiple windows appearing in a single screen; each
+window is separated from the next by its modeline. At any time, there
+is only one @dfn{active} window, that is, the window in which the cursor
+appears. There are commands available for creating windows, changing
+the size of windows, selecting which window is active, and for deleting
+windows.
+
+@menu
+* The Mode Line:: What appears in the mode line?
+* Basic Windows:: Manipulating windows in Info.
+* The Echo Area:: Used for displaying errors and reading input.
+@end menu
+
+@node The Mode Line
+@section The Mode Line
+
+A @dfn{mode line} is a line of inverse video which appears at the bottom
+of an info window. It describes the contents of the window just above
+it; this information includes the name of the file and node appearing in
+that window, the number of screen lines it takes to display the node,
+and the percentage of text that is above the top of the window. It can
+also tell you if the indirect tags table for this info file needs to be
+updated, and whether or not the info file was compressed when stored on
+disk.
+
+Here is a sample mode line for a window containing an uncompressed file
+named @file{dir}, showing the node @samp{Top}.
+
+@example
+-----Info: (dir)Top, 40 lines --Top---------------------------------------
+ ^^ ^ ^^^ ^^
+ (file)Node #lines where
+@end example
+
+When a node comes from a file which is compressed on disk, this is
+indicated in the mode line with two small @samp{z}'s. In addition, if
+the info file containing the node has been split into subfiles, the name
+of the subfile containing the node appears in the modeline as well:
+
+@example
+--zz-Info: (emacs)Top, 291 lines --Top-- Subfile: emacs-1.Z---------------
+@end example
+
+When Info makes a node internally, such that there is no corresponding
+info file on disk, the name of the node is surrounded by asterisks
+(@samp{*}). The name itself tells you what the contents of the window
+are; the sample mode line below shows an internally constructed node
+showing possible completions:
+
+@example
+-----Info: *Completions*, 7 lines --All-----------------------------------
+@end example
+
+@node Basic Windows
+@section Window Commands
+
+It can be convenient to view more than one node at a time. To allow
+this, Info can display more than one @dfn{window}. Each window has its
+own mode line (@pxref{The Mode Line}) and history of nodes viewed in that
+window (@pxref{Node Commands, , @code{history-node}}).
+
+@table @asis
+@item @code{C-x o} (@code{next-window})
+@cindex windows, selecting
+@kindex C-x o
+@findex next-window
+Selects the next window on the screen. Note that the echo area can only be
+selected if it is already in use, and you have left it temporarily.
+Normally, @samp{C-x o} simply moves the cursor into the next window on
+the screen, or if you are already within the last window, into the first
+window on the screen. Given a numeric argument, @samp{C-x o} moves over
+that many windows. A negative argument causes @samp{C-x o} to select
+the previous window on the screen.
+
+@item @code{M-x prev-window}
+@findex prev-window
+Selects the previous window on the screen. This is identical to
+@samp{C-x o} with a negative argument.
+
+@item @code{C-x 2} (@code{split-window})
+@cindex windows, creating
+@kindex C-x 2
+@findex split-window
+Splits the current window into two windows, both showing the same node.
+Each window is one half the size of the original window, and the cursor
+remains in the original window. The variable @code{automatic-tiling}
+can cause all of the windows on the screen to be resized for you
+automatically, please @pxref{Variables, , automatic-tiling} for more
+information.
+
+@item @code{C-x 0} (@code{delete-window})
+@cindex windows, deleting
+@kindex C-x 0
+@findex delete-window
+Deletes the current window from the screen. If you have made too many
+windows and your screen appears cluttered, this is the way to get rid of
+some of them.
+
+@item @code{C-x 1} (@code{keep-one-window})
+@kindex C-x 1
+@findex keep-one-window
+Deletes all of the windows excepting the current one.
+
+@item @code{ESC C-v} (@code{scroll-other-window})
+@kindex ESC C-v, in Info windows
+@findex scroll-other-window
+Scrolls the other window, in the same fashion that @samp{C-v} might
+scroll the current window. Given a negative argument, the "other"
+window is scrolled backward.
+
+@item @code{C-x ^} (@code{grow-window})
+@kindex C-x ^
+@findex grow-window
+Grows (or shrinks) the current window. Given a numeric argument, grows
+the current window that many lines; with a negative numeric argument,
+the window is shrunk instead.
+
+@item @code{C-x t} (@code{tile-windows})
+@cindex tiling
+@kindex C-x t
+@findex tile-windows
+Divides the available screen space among all of the visible windows.
+Each window is given an equal portion of the screen in which to display
+its contents. The variable @code{automatic-tiling} can cause
+@code{tile-windows} to be called when a window is created or deleted.
+@xref{Variables, , @code{automatic-tiling}}.
+@end table
+
+@node The Echo Area
+@section The Echo Area
+@cindex echo area
+
+The @dfn{echo area} is a one line window which appears at the bottom of
+the screen. It is used to display informative or error messages, and to
+read lines of input from you when that is necessary. Almost all of the
+commands available in the echo area are identical to their Emacs
+counterparts, so please refer to that documentation for greater depth of
+discussion on the concepts of editing a line of text. The following
+table briefly lists the commands that are available while input is being
+read in the echo area:
+
+@table @asis
+@item @code{C-f} (@code{echo-area-forward})
+@kindex C-f, in the echo area
+@findex echo-area-forward
+Moves forward a character.
+
+@item @code{C-b} (@code{echo-area-backward})
+@kindex C-b, in the echo area
+@findex echo-area-backward
+Moves backward a character.
+
+@item @code{C-a} (@code{echo-area-beg-of-line})
+@kindex C-a, in the echo area
+@findex echo-area-beg-of-line
+Moves to the start of the input line.
+
+@item @code{C-e} (@code{echo-area-end-of-line})
+@kindex C-e, in the echo area
+@findex echo-area-end-of-line
+Moves to the end of the input line.
+
+@item @code{M-f} (@code{echo-area-forward-word})
+@kindex M-f, in the echo area
+@findex echo-area-forward-word
+Moves forward a word.
+
+@item @code{M-b} (@code{echo-area-backward-word})
+@kindex M-b, in the echo area
+@findex echo-area-backward-word
+Moves backward a word.
+
+@item @code{C-d} (@code{echo-area-delete})
+@kindex C-d, in the echo area
+@findex echo-area-delete
+Deletes the character under the cursor.
+
+@item @code{DEL} (@code{echo-area-rubout})
+@kindex DEL, in the echo area
+@findex echo-area-rubout
+Deletes the character behind the cursor.
+
+@item @code{C-g} (@code{echo-area-abort})
+@kindex C-g, in the echo area
+@findex echo-area-abort
+Cancels or quits the current operation. If completion is being read,
+@samp{C-g} discards the text of the input line which does not match any
+completion. If the input line is empty, @samp{C-g} aborts the calling
+function.
+
+@item @code{RET} (@code{echo-area-newline})
+@kindex RET, in the echo area
+@findex echo-area-newline
+Accepts (or forces completion of) the current input line.
+
+@item @code{C-q} (@code{echo-area-quoted-insert})
+@kindex C-q, in the echo area
+@findex echo-area-quoted-insert
+Inserts the next character verbatim. This is how you can insert control
+characters into a search string, for example.
+
+@item @var{printing character} (@code{echo-area-insert})
+@kindex printing characters, in the echo area
+@findex echo-area-insert
+Inserts the character.
+
+@item @code{M-TAB} (@code{echo-area-tab-insert})
+@kindex M-TAB, in the echo area
+@findex echo-area-tab-insert
+Inserts a TAB character.
+
+@item @code{C-t} (@code{echo-area-transpose-chars})
+@kindex C-t, in the echo area
+@findex echo-area-transpose-chars
+Transposes the characters at the cursor.
+@end table
+
+The next group of commands deal with @dfn{killing}, and @dfn{yanking}
+text. For an in depth discussion of killing and yanking,
+@pxref{Killing, , Killing and Deleting, emacs, the GNU Emacs Manual}
+
+@table @asis
+@item @code{M-d} (@code{echo-area-kill-word})
+@kindex M-d, in the echo area
+@findex echo-area-kill-word
+Kills the word following the cursor.
+
+@item @code{M-DEL} (@code{echo-area-backward-kill-word})
+@kindex M-DEL, in the echo area
+@findex echo-area-backward-kill-word
+Kills the word preceding the cursor.
+
+@item @code{C-k} (@code{echo-area-kill-line})
+@kindex C-k, in the echo area
+@findex echo-area-kill-line
+Kills the text from the cursor to the end of the line.
+
+@item @code{C-x DEL} (@code{echo-area-backward-kill-line})
+@kindex C-x DEL, in the echo area
+@findex echo-area-backward-kill-line
+Kills the text from the cursor to the beginning of the line.
+
+@item @code{C-y} (@code{echo-area-yank})
+@kindex C-y, in the echo area
+@findex echo-area-yank
+Yanks back the contents of the last kill.
+
+@item @code{M-y} (@code{echo-area-yank-pop})
+@kindex M-y, in the echo area
+@findex echo-area-yank-pop
+Yanks back a previous kill, removing the last yanked text first.
+@end table
+
+Sometimes when reading input in the echo area, the command that needed
+input will only accept one of a list of several choices. The choices
+represent the @dfn{possible completions}, and you must respond with one
+of them. Since there are a limited number of responses you can make,
+Info allows you to abbreviate what you type, only typing as much of the
+response as is necessary to uniquely identify it. In addition, you can
+request Info to fill in as much of the response as is possible; this
+is called @dfn{completion}.
+
+The following commands are available when completing in the echo area:
+
+@table @asis
+@item @code{TAB} (@code{echo-area-complete})
+@itemx @code{SPC}
+@kindex TAB, in the echo area
+@kindex SPC, in the echo area
+@findex echo-area-complete
+Inserts as much of a completion as is possible.
+
+@item @code{?} (@code{echo-area-possible-completions})
+@kindex ?, in the echo area
+@findex echo-area-possible-completions
+Displays a window containing a list of the possible completions of what
+you have typed so far. For example, if the available choices are:
+@example
+bar
+foliate
+food
+forget
+@end example
+and you have typed an @samp{f}, followed by @samp{?}, the possible
+completions would contain:
+@example
+foliate
+food
+forget
+@end example
+i.e., all of the choices which begin with @samp{f}. Pressing @key{SPC}
+or @key{TAB} would result in @samp{fo} appearing in the echo area, since
+all of the choices which begin with @samp{f} continue with @samp{o}.
+Now, typing @samp{l} followed by @samp{TAB} results in @samp{foliate}
+appearing in the echo area, since that is the only choice which begins
+with @samp{fol}.
+
+@item @code{ESC C-v} (@code{echo-area-scroll-completions-window})
+@kindex ESC C-v, in the echo area
+@findex echo-area-scroll-completions-window
+Scrolls the completions window, if that is visible, or the "other"
+window if not.
+@end table
+
+@node Printing Nodes
+@chapter Printing Out Nodes
+@cindex printing
+
+You may wish to print out the contents of a node as a quick reference
+document for later use. Info provides you with a command for doing
+this. In general, we recommend that you use @TeX{} to format the
+document and print sections of it, by running @code{tex} on the texinfo
+source file.
+
+@table @asis
+@item @code{M-x print-node}
+@findex print-node
+@cindex INFO_PRINT_COMMAND, environment variable

+
+@table @asis
+@item @code{M-x describe-command}
+@cindex functions, describing
+@cindex commands, describing
+@findex describe-command
+Reads the name of an Info command in the echo area and then displays a
+brief description of what that command does.
+
+@item @code{M-x describe-key}
+@cindex keys, describing
+@findex describe-key
+Reads a key sequence in the echo area, and then displays the name and
+documentation of the Info command that the key sequence invokes.
+
+@item @code{M-x describe-variable}
+Reads the name of a variable in the echo area and then displays a brief
+description of what the variable affects.
+
+@item @code{M-x where-is}
+@findex where-is
+Reads the name of an Info command in the echo area, and then displays
+a key sequence which can be typed in order to invoke that command.
+
+@item @code{C-h} (@code{get-help-window})
+@itemx @code{?}
+@kindex C-h
+@kindex ?, in Info windows
+@findex get-help-window
+Creates (or moves into) the window displaying @code{*Help*}, and places
+a node containing a quick reference card into it. This window displays
+the most concise information about GNU Info available.
+
+@item @code{h} (@code{get-info-help-node})
+@kindex h
+@findex get-info-help-node
+Tries hard to visit the node @code{(info)Help}. The info file
+@file{info.texi} distributed with GNU Info contains this node. Of
+course, the file must first be processed with @code{makeinfo}, and then
+placed into the location of your info directory.
+@end table
+
+Here are the commands for creating a numeric argument:
+
+@table @asis
+@item @code{C-u} (@code{universal-argument})
+@cindex numeric arguments
+@kindex C-u
+@findex universal-argument
+Starts (or multiplies by 4) the current numeric argument. @samp{C-u} is
+a good way to give a small numeric argument to cursor movement or
+scrolling commands; @samp{C-u C-v} scrolls the screen 4 lines, while
+@samp{C-u C-u C-n} moves the cursor down 16 lines.
+
+@item @code{M-1} (@code{add-digit-to-numeric-arg})
+@itemx @code{M-2} @dots{} @code{M-9}
+@kindex M-1 @dots{} M-9
+@findex add-digit-to-numeric-arg
+Adds the digit value of the invoking key to the current numeric
+argument. Once Info is reading a numeric argument, you may just type
+the digits of the argument, without the Meta prefix. For example, you
+might give @samp{C-l} a numeric argument of 32 by typing:
+
+@example
+@kbd{C-u 3 2 C-l}
+@end example
+or
+@example
+@kbd{M-3 2 C-l}
+@end example
+@end table

+@code{automatic-footnotes}. @xref{Variables, , @code{automatic-footnotes}}.
+@end table
+
+@node Variables
+@chapter Manipulating Variables
+
+GNU Info contains several @dfn{variables} whose values are looked at by various
+Info commands. You can change the values of these variables, and thus
+change the behaviour of Info to more closely match your environment and
+info file reading manner.
+
+@table @asis
+@item @code{M-x set-variable}
+@cindex variables, setting
+@findex set-variable
+Reads the name of a variable, and the value for it, in the echo area and
+then sets the variable to that value. Completion is available when
+reading the variable name; often, completion is available when reading
+the value to give to the variable, but that depends on the variable
+itself. If a variable does @emph{not} supply multiple choices to
+complete over, it expects a numeric value.
+
+@item @code{M-x describe-variable}
+@cindex variables, describing
+@findex describe-variable
+Reads the name of a variable in the echo area and then displays a brief
+description of what the variable affects.
+@end table
+
+Here is a list of the variables that you can set in Info.
+
+@table @code
+@item automatic-footnotes
+@vindex automatic-footnotes
+When set to @code{On}, footnotes appear and disappear automatically.
+This variable is @code{On} by default. When a node is selected, a
+window containing the footnotes which appear in that node is created,
+and the footnotes are displayed within the new window. The window that
+Info creates to contain the footnotes is called @samp{*Footnotes*}. If
+a node is selected which contains no footnotes, and a @samp{*Footnotes*}
+window is on the screen, the @samp{*Footnotes*} window is deleted.
+Footnote windows created in this fashion are not automatically tiled so
+that they can use as little of the display as is possible.
+
+@item automatic-tiling
+@vindex automatic-tiling
+When set to @code{On}, creating or deleting a window resizes other
+windows. This variable is @code{Off} by default. Normally, typing
+@samp{C-x 2} divides the current window into two equal parts. When
+@code{automatic-tiling} is set to @code{On}, all of the windows are
+resized automatically, keeping an equal number of lines visible in each
+window. There are exceptions to the automatic tiling; specifically, the
+windows @samp{*Completions*} and @samp{*Footnotes*} are @emph{not}
+resized through automatic tiling; they remain their original size.
+
+@item visible-bell
+@vindex visible-bell
+When set to @code{On}, GNU Info attempts to flash the screen instead of
+ringing the bell. This variable is @code{Off} by default. Of course,
+Info can only flash the screen if the terminal allows it; in the case
+that the terminal does not allow it, the setting of this variable has no
+effect. However, you can make Info perform quietly by setting the
+@code{errors-ring-bell} variable to @code{Off}.
+
+@item errors-ring-bell
+@vindex errors-ring-bell
+When set to @code{On}, errors cause the bell to ring. The default
+setting of this variable is @code{On}.
+
+@item gc-compressed-files
+@vindex gc-compressed-files
+When set to @code{On}, Info garbage collects files which had to be
+uncompressed. The default value of this variable is @code{Off}.
+Whenever a node is visited in Info, the info file containing that node
+is read into core, and Info reads information about the tags and nodes
+contained in that file. Once the tags information is read by Info, it
+is never forgotten. However, the actual text of the nodes does not need
+to remain in core unless a particular info window needs it. For
+non-compressed files, the text of the nodes does not remain in core when
+it is no longer in use. But de-compressing a file can be a time
+consuming operation, and so Info tries hard not to do it twice.
+@code{gc-compressed-files} tells Info it is okay to garbage collect the
+text of the nodes of a file which was compressed on disk.
+
+@item show-index-match
+@vindex show-index-match
+When set to @code{On}, the portion of the matched search string is
+highlighted in the message which explains where the matched search
+string was found. The default value of this variable is @code{On}.
+When Info displays the location where an index match was found,
+(@pxref{Searching Commands, , @code{next-index-match}}), the portion of the
+string that you had typed is highlighted by displaying it in the inverse
+case from its surrounding characters.
+
+@item scroll-behaviour
+@vindex scroll-behaviour
+Controls what happens when forward scrolling is requested at the end of
+a node, or when backward scrolling is requested at the beginning of a
+node. The default value for this variable is @code{Continuous}. There
+are three possible values for this variable:
+
+@table @code
+@item Continuous
+Tries to get the first item in this node's menu, or failing that, the
+@samp{Next} node, or failing that, the @samp{Next} of the @samp{Up}.
+This behaviour is identical to using the @samp{]}
+(@code{global-next-node}) and @samp{[} (@code{global-prev-node})
+commands.
+
+@item Next Only
+Only tries to get the @samp{Next} node.
+
+@item Page Only
+Simply gives up, changing nothing. If @code{scroll-behaviour} is

+@item scroll-step
+@vindex scroll-step
+The number of lines to scroll when the cursor moves out of the window.
+Scrolling happens automatically if the cursor has moved out of the
+visible portion of the node text when it is time to display. Usually
+the scrolling is done so as to put the cursor on the center line of the
+current window. However, if the variable @code{scroll-step} has a
+nonzero value, Info attempts to scroll the node text by that many lines;
+if that is enough to bring the cursor back into the window, that is what
+is done. The default value of this variable is 0, thus placing the
+cursor (and the text it is attached to) in the center of the window.
+Setting this variable to 1 causes a kind of "smooth scrolling" which
+some people prefer.
+
+@item ISO-Latin
+@cindex ISO Latin characters
+@vindex ISO-Latin
+When set to @code{On}, Info accepts and displays ISO Latin characters.
+By default, Info assumes an ASCII character set. @code{ISO-Latin} tells
+Info that it is running in an environment where the European standard
+character set is in use, and allows you to input such characters to
+Info, as well as display them.
