This is texinfo, produced by makeinfo version 4.2 from texinfo.txi. This manual is for GNU Texinfo (version 4.2, 28 March 2002), a documentation system that can produce both online information and a printed manual from a single source.

END-INFO-DIR-ENTRY  File: texinfo, Node: Using texinfo-show-structure, Next: Using occur, Prev: Debugging with TeX, Up: Catching Mistakes Using `texinfo-show-structure' ============================== It is not always easy to keep track of the nodes, chapters, sections, and subsections of a Texinfo file. This is especially true if you are revising or adding to a Texinfo file that someone else has written. In GNU Emacs, in Texinfo mode, the `texinfo-show-structure' command lists all the lines that begin with the @-commands that specify the structure: `@chapter', `@section', `@appendix', and so on. With an argument (`C-u' as prefix argument, if interactive), the command also shows the `@node' lines. The `texinfo-show-structure' command is bound to `C-c C-s' in Texinfo mode, by default. The lines are displayed in a buffer called the `*Occur*' buffer, indented by hierarchical level. For example, here is a part of what was produced by running `texinfo-show-structure' on this manual: Lines matching "^@\\(chapter \\|sect\\|subs\\|subh\\| unnum\\|major\\|chapheading \\|heading \\|appendix\\)" in buffer texinfo.texi. ... 4177:@chapter Nodes 4198: @heading Two Paths 4231: @section Node and Menu Illustration 4337: @section The @code{@@node} Command 4393: @subheading Choosing Node and Pointer Names 4417: @subsection How to Write an @code{@@node} Line 4469: @subsection @code{@@node} Line Tips ... This says that lines 4337, 4393, and 4417 of `texinfo.texi' begin with the `@section', `@subheading', and `@subsection' commands respectively. If you move your cursor into the `*Occur*' window, you can position the cursor over one of the lines and use the `C-c C-c' command (`occur-mode-goto-occurrence'), to jump to the corresponding spot in the Texinfo file. *Note Using Occur: (emacs)Other Repeating Search, for more information about `occur-mode-goto-occurrence'. The first line in the `*Occur*' window describes the "regular expression" specified by TEXINFO-HEADING-PATTERN. This regular expression is the pattern that `texinfo-show-structure' looks for. *Note Using Regular Expressions: (emacs)Regexps, for more information. When you invoke the `texinfo-show-structure' command, Emacs will display the structure of the whole buffer. If you want to see the structure of just a part of the buffer, of one chapter, for example, use the `C-x n n' (`narrow-to-region') command to mark the region. (*Note Narrowing: (emacs)Narrowing.) This is how the example used above was generated. (To see the whole buffer again, use `C-x n w' (`widen').) If you call `texinfo-show-structure' with a prefix argument by typing `C-u C-c C-s', it will list lines beginning with `@node' as well as the lines beginning with the @-sign commands for `@chapter', `@section', and the like. You can remind yourself of the structure of a Texinfo file by looking at the list in the `*Occur*' window; and if you have mis-named a node or left out a section, you can correct the mistake.  File: texinfo, Node: Using occur, Next: Running Info-Validate, Prev: Using texinfo-show-structure, Up: Catching Mistakes Using `occur' ============= Sometimes the `texinfo-show-structure' command produces too much information. Perhaps you want to remind yourself of the overall structure of a Texinfo file, and are overwhelmed by the detailed list produced by `texinfo-show-structure'. In this case, you can use the `occur' command directly. To do this, type M-x occur and then, when prompted, type a "regexp", a regular expression for the pattern you want to match. (*Note Regular Expressions: (emacs)Regexps.) The `occur' command works from the current location of the cursor in the buffer to the end of the buffer. If you want to run `occur' on the whole buffer, place the cursor at the beginning of the buffer. For example, to see all the lines that contain the word `@chapter' in them, just type `@chapter'. This will produce a list of the chapters. It will also list all the sentences with `@chapter' in the middle of the line. If you want to see only those lines that start with the word `@chapter', type `^@chapter' when prompted by `occur'. If you want to see all the lines that end with a word or phrase, end the last word with a `$'; for example, `catching mistakes$'. This can be helpful when you want to see all the nodes that are part of the same chapter or section and therefore have the same `Up' pointer. *Note Using Occur: (emacs)Other Repeating Search, for more information.  File: texinfo, Node: Running Info-Validate, Prev: Using occur, Up: Catching Mistakes Finding Badly Referenced Nodes ============================== You can use the `Info-validate' command to check whether any of the `Next', `Previous', `Up' or other node pointers fail to point to a node. This command checks that every node pointer points to an existing node. The `Info-validate' command works only on Info files, not on Texinfo files. The `makeinfo' program validates pointers automatically, so you do not need to use the `Info-validate' command if you are using `makeinfo'. You only may need to use `Info-validate' if you are unable to run `makeinfo' and instead must create an Info file using `texinfo-format-region' or `texinfo-format-buffer', or if you write an Info file from scratch. * Menu: * Using Info-validate:: How to run `Info-validate'. * Unsplit:: How to create an unsplit file. * Tagifying:: How to tagify a file. * Splitting:: How to split a file manually.  File: texinfo, Node: Using Info-validate, Next: Unsplit, Prev: Running Info-Validate, Up: Running Info-Validate Running `Info-validate' ----------------------- To use `Info-validate', visit the Info file you wish to check and type: M-x Info-validate Note that the `Info-validate' command requires an upper case `I'. You may also need to create a tag table before running `Info-validate'. *Note Tagifying::. If your file is valid, you will receive a message that says "File appears valid". However, if you have a pointer that does not point to a node, error messages will be displayed in a buffer called `*problems in info file*'. For example, `Info-validate' was run on a test file that contained only the first node of this manual. One of the messages said: In node "Overview", invalid Next: Texinfo Mode This meant that the node called `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). Now suppose we add a node named `Texinfo Mode' to our test case but we do not specify a `Previous' for this node. Then we will get the following error message: In node "Texinfo Mode", should have Previous: Overview This is because every `Next' pointer should be matched by a `Previous' (in the node where the `Next' points) which points back. `Info-validate' also checks that all menu entries and cross references point to actual nodes. `Info-validate' requires a tag table and does not work with files that have been split. (The `texinfo-format-buffer' command automatically splits large files.) In order to use `Info-validate' on a large file, you must run `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.  File: texinfo, Node: Unsplit, Next: Tagifying, Prev: Using Info-validate, Up: Running Info-Validate Creating an Unsplit File ------------------------ You can run `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 `texinfo-format-buffer' or `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 `Info-validate' and look for badly referenced nodes. The first step is to create an unsplit Info file. To prevent `texinfo-format-buffer' from splitting a Texinfo file into smaller Info files, give a prefix to the `M-x texinfo-format-buffer' command: C-u M-x texinfo-format-buffer or else 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.  File: texinfo, Node: Tagifying, Next: Splitting, Prev: Unsplit, Up: Running Info-Validate 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: M-x Info-tagify (Note the upper case `I' in `Info-tagify'.) This creates an Info file with a tag table that you can validate. The third step is to validate the Info file: M-x Info-validate (Note the upper case `I' in `Info-validate'.) In brief, the steps are: C-u M-x texinfo-format-buffer M-x Info-tagify M-x Info-validate After you have validated the node structure, you can rerun `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.  File: texinfo, Node: Splitting, Prev: Tagifying, Up: Running Info-Validate Splitting a File Manually ------------------------- You should split a large file or else let the `texinfo-format-buffer' or `makeinfo-buffer' command do it for you automatically. (Generally you will let one of the formatting commands do this job for you. *Note Creating an Info File::.) The split-off files are called the indirect subfiles. Info files are split to save memory. With smaller files, Emacs does not have make such a large buffer to hold the information. If an Info file has more than 30 nodes, you should also make a tag table for it. *Note 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 `Info-validate'.) Visit the Info file you wish to tagify and split and type the two commands: M-x Info-tagify M-x Info-split (Note that the `I' in `Info' is upper case.) When you use the `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 `-' and a number to the original file name. The primary file still functions as an Info file, but it contains just the tag table and a directory of subfiles.  File: texinfo, Node: Refilling Paragraphs, Next: Command Syntax, Prev: Catching Mistakes, Up: Top Refilling Paragraphs ******************** The `@refill' command refills and, optionally, indents the first line of a paragraph.(1) (*note Refilling Paragraphs-Footnote-1::) The `@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. 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 `texinfo-format-region' command nor the `texinfo-format-buffer' command refilled paragraphs automatically. The `@refill' command had to be written at the end of every paragraph to cause these formatters to fill them. (Both TeX and `makeinfo' have always refilled paragraphs automatically.) Now, all the Info formatters automatically fill and indent those paragraphs that need to be filled and indented. The `@refill' command causes `texinfo-format-region' and `texinfo-format-buffer' to refill a paragraph in the Info file _after_ all the other processing has been done. For this reason, you can not use `@refill' with a paragraph containing either `@*' or `@w{ ... }' since the refilling action will override those two commands. The `texinfo-format-region' and `texinfo-format-buffer' commands now automatically append `@refill' to the end of each paragraph that should be filled. They do not append `@refill' to the ends of paragraphs that contain `@*' or `@w{ ...}' and therefore do not refill or indent them.  File: texinfo, Node: Refilling Paragraphs-Footnotes, Up: Refilling Paragraphs (1) Perhaps the command should have been called the `@refillandindent' command, but `@refill' is shorter and the name was chosen before indenting was possible.  File: texinfo, Node: Command Syntax, Next: Obtaining TeX, Prev: Refilling Paragraphs, Up: Top @-Command Syntax **************** The character `@' is used to start special Texinfo commands. (It has the same meaning that `\' has in plain TeX.) Texinfo has four types of @-command: 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: `@.', `@:', `@*', `@SPACE', `@TAB', `@NL', `@@', `@{', and `@}'. 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, `@dots{}' => `...', `@equiv{}' => `==', `@TeX{}' => `TeX', and `@bullet{}' => `*'. 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 `@dfn' indicates the introductory or defining use of a term; it is used as follows: `In Texinfo, @@-commands are @dfn{mark-up} commands.' 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, `@center' or `@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. 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. 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 `@refill', which is always used at the end of a paragraph immediately following the final period or other punctuation character. `@refill' takes no argument and does _not_ require braces. `@refill' never confuses the Emacs paragraph commands because it cannot appear at the beginning of a line.

File: texinfo, Node: GNU Free Documentation License, Up: Copying This Manual GNU Free Documentation License ============================== Version 1.1, March 2000 Copyright (C) 2000 Free Software Foundation, Inc. 59 Temple Place, Suite 330, Boston, MA 02111-1307, USA Everyone is permitted to copy and distribute verbatim copies of this license document, but changing it is not allowed. 0. PREAMBLE The purpose of this License is to make a manual, textbook, or other written document "free" in the sense of freedom: to assure everyone the effective freedom to copy and redistribute it, with or without modifying it, either commercially or noncommercially. Secondarily, this License preserves for the author and publisher a way to get credit for their work, while not being considered responsible for modifications made by others. This License is a kind of "copyleft", which means that derivative works of the document must themselves be free in the same sense. It complements the GNU General Public License, which is a copyleft license designed for free software. We have designed this License in order to use it for manuals for free software, because free software needs free documentation: a free program should come with manuals providing the same freedoms that the software does. But this License is not limited to software manuals; it can be used for any textual work, regardless of subject matter or whether it is published as a printed book. We recommend this License principally for works whose purpose is instruction or reference. 1. APPLICABILITY AND DEFINITIONS This License applies to any manual or other work that contains a notice placed by the copyright holder saying it can be distributed under the terms of this License. The "Document", below, refers to any such manual or work. Any member of the public is a licensee, and is addressed as "you". A "Modified Version" of the Document means any work containing the Document or a portion of it, either copied verbatim, or with modifications and/or translated into another language. A "Secondary Section" is a named appendix or a front-matter section of the Document that deals exclusively with the relationship of the publishers or authors of the Document to the Document's overall subject (or to related matters) and contains nothing that could fall directly within that overall subject. (For example, if the Document is in part a textbook of mathematics, a Secondary Section may not explain any mathematics.) The relationship could be a matter of historical connection with the subject or with related matters, or of legal, commercial, philosophical, ethical or political position regarding them. The "Invariant Sections" are certain Secondary Sections whose titles are designated, as being those of Invariant Sections, in the notice that says that the Document is released under this License. The "Cover Texts" are certain short passages of text that are listed, as Front-Cover Texts or Back-Cover Texts, in the notice that says that the Document is released under this License. A "Transparent" copy of the Document means a machine-readable copy, represented in a format whose specification is available to the general public, whose contents can be viewed and edited directly and straightforwardly with generic text editors or (for images composed of pixels) generic paint programs or (for drawings) some widely available drawing editor, and that is suitable for input to text formatters or for automatic translation to a variety of formats suitable for input to text formatters. A copy made in an otherwise Transparent file format whose markup has been designed to thwart or discourage subsequent modification by readers is not Transparent. A copy that is not "Transparent" is called "Opaque". Examples of suitable formats for Transparent copies include plain ASCII without markup, Texinfo input format, LaTeX input format, SGML or XML using a publicly available DTD, and standard-conforming simple HTML designed for human modification. Opaque formats include PostScript, PDF, proprietary formats that can be read and edited only by proprietary word processors, SGML or XML for which the DTD and/or processing tools are not generally available, and the machine-generated HTML produced by some word processors for output purposes only. The "Title Page" means, for a printed book, the title page itself, plus such following pages as are needed to hold, legibly, the material this License requires to appear in the title page. For works in formats which do not have any title page as such, "Title Page" means the text near the most prominent appearance of the work's title, preceding the beginning of the body of the text. 2. VERBATIM COPYING You may copy and distribute the Document in any medium, either commercially or noncommercially, provided that this License, the copyright notices, and the license notice saying this License applies to the Document are reproduced in all copies, and that you add no other conditions whatsoever to those of this License. You may not use technical measures to obstruct or control the reading or further copying of the copies you make or distribute. However, you may accept compensation in exchange for copies. If you distribute a large enough number of copies you must also follow the conditions in section 3. You may also lend copies, under the same conditions stated above, and you may publicly display copies. 3. COPYING IN QUANTITY If you publish printed copies of the Document numbering more than 100, and the Document's license notice requires Cover Texts, you must enclose the copies in covers that carry, clearly and legibly, all these Cover Texts: Front-Cover Texts on the front cover, and Back-Cover Texts on the back cover. Both covers must also clearly and legibly identify you as the publisher of these copies. The front cover must present the full title with all words of the title equally prominent and visible. You may add other material on the covers in addition. Copying with changes limited to the covers, as long as they preserve the title of the Document and satisfy these conditions, can be treated as verbatim copying in other respects. If the required texts for either cover are too voluminous to fit legibly, you should put the first ones listed (as many as fit reasonably) on the actual cover, and continue the rest onto adjacent pages. If you publish or distribute Opaque copies of the Document numbering more than 100, you must either include a machine-readable Transparent copy along with each Opaque copy, or state in or with each Opaque copy a publicly-accessible computer-network location containing a complete Transparent copy of the Document, free of added material, which the general network-using public has access to download anonymously at no charge using public-standard network protocols. If you use the latter option, you must take reasonably prudent steps, when you begin distribution of Opaque copies in quantity, to ensure that this Transparent copy will remain thus accessible at the stated location until at least one year after the last time you distribute an Opaque copy (directly or through your agents or retailers) of that edition to the public. It is requested, but not required, that you contact the authors of the Document well before redistributing any large number of copies, to give them a chance to provide you with an updated version of the Document. 4. MODIFICATIONS You may copy and distribute a Modified Version of the Document under the conditions of sections 2 and 3 above, provided that you release the Modified Version under precisely this License, with the Modified Version filling the role of the Document, thus licensing distribution and modification of the Modified Version to whoever possesses a copy of it. In addition, you must do these things in the Modified Version: A. Use in the Title Page (and on the covers, if any) a title distinct from that of the Document, and from those of previous versions (which should, if there were any, be listed in the History section of the Document). You may use the same title as a previous version if the original publisher of that version gives permission. B. List on the Title Page, as authors, one or more persons or entities responsible for authorship of the modifications in the Modified Version, together with at least five of the principal authors of the Document (all of its principal authors, if it has less than five). C. State on the Title page the name of the publisher of the Modified Version, as the publisher. D. Preserve all the copyright notices of the Document. E. Add an appropriate copyright notice for your modifications adjacent to the other copyright notices. F. Include, immediately after the copyright notices, a license notice giving the public permission to use the Modified Version under the terms of this License, in the form shown in the Addendum below. G. Preserve in that license notice the full lists of Invariant Sections and required Cover Texts given in the Document's license notice. H. Include an unaltered copy of this License. I. Preserve the section entitled "History", and its title, and add to it an item stating at least the title, year, new authors, and publisher of the Modified Version as given on the Title Page. If there is no section entitled "History" in the Document, create one stating the title, year, authors, and publisher of the Document as given on its Title Page, then add an item describing the Modified Version as stated in the previous sentence. J. Preserve the network location, if any, given in the Document for public access to a Transparent copy of the Document, and likewise the network locations given in the Document for previous versions it was based on. These may be placed in the "History" section. You may omit a network location for a work that was published at least four years before the Document itself, or if the original publisher of the version it refers to gives permission. K. In any section entitled "Acknowledgments" or "Dedications", preserve the section's title, and preserve in the section all the substance and tone of each of the contributor acknowledgments and/or dedications given therein. L. Preserve all the Invariant Sections of the Document, unaltered in their text and in their titles. Section numbers or the equivalent are not considered part of the section titles. M. Delete any section entitled "Endorsements". Such a section may not be included in the Modified Version. N. Do not retitle any existing section as "Endorsements" or to conflict in title with any Invariant Section. If the Modified Version includes new front-matter sections or appendices that qualify as Secondary Sections and contain no material copied from the Document, you may at your option designate some or all of these sections as invariant. To do this, add their titles to the list of Invariant Sections in the Modified Version's license notice. These titles must be distinct from any other section titles. You may add a section entitled "Endorsements", provided it contains nothing but endorsements of your Modified Version by various parties--for example, statements of peer review or that the text has been approved by an organization as the authoritative definition of a standard. You may add a passage of up to five words as a Front-Cover Text, and a passage of up to 25 words as a Back-Cover Text, to the end of the list of Cover Texts in the Modified Version. Only one passage of Front-Cover Text and one of Back-Cover Text may be added by (or through arrangements made by) any one entity. If the Document already includes a cover text for the same cover, previously added by you or by arrangement made by the same entity you are acting on behalf of, you may not add another; but you may replace the old one, on explicit permission from the previous publisher that added the old one. The author(s) and publisher(s) of the Document do not by this License give permission to use their names for publicity for or to assert or imply endorsement of any Modified Version. 5. COMBINING DOCUMENTS You may combine the Document with other documents released under this License, under the terms defined in section 4 above for modified versions, provided that you include in the combination all of the Invariant Sections of all of the original documents, unmodified, and list them all as Invariant Sections of your combined work in its license notice. The combined work need only contain one copy of this License, and multiple identical Invariant Sections may be replaced with a single copy. If there are multiple Invariant Sections with the same name but different contents, make the title of each such section unique by adding at the end of it, in parentheses, the name of the original author or publisher of that section if known, or else a unique number. Make the same adjustment to the section titles in the list of Invariant Sections in the license notice of the combined work. In the combination, you must combine any sections entitled "History" in the various original documents, forming one section entitled "History"; likewise combine any sections entitled "Acknowledgments", and any sections entitled "Dedications". You must delete all sections entitled "Endorsements." 6. COLLECTIONS OF DOCUMENTS You may make a collection consisting of the Document and other documents released under this License, and replace the individual copies of this License in the various documents with a single copy that is included in the collection, provided that you follow the rules of this License for verbatim copying of each of the documents in all other respects. You may extract a single document from such a collection, and distribute it individually under this License, provided you insert a copy of this License into the extracted document, and follow this License in all other respects regarding verbatim copying of that document. 7. AGGREGATION WITH INDEPENDENT WORKS A compilation of the Document or its derivatives with other separate and independent documents or works, in or on a volume of a storage or distribution medium, does not as a whole count as a Modified Version of the Document, provided no compilation copyright is claimed for the compilation. Such a compilation is called an "aggregate", and this License does not apply to the other self-contained works thus compiled with the Document, on account of their being thus compiled, if they are not themselves derivative works of the Document. If the Cover Text requirement of section 3 is applicable to these copies of the Document, then if the Document is less than one quarter of the entire aggregate, the Document's Cover Texts may be placed on covers that surround only the Document within the aggregate. Otherwise they must appear on covers around the whole aggregate. 8. TRANSLATION Translation is considered a kind of modification, so you may distribute translations of the Document under the terms of section 4. Replacing Invariant Sections with translations requires special permission from their copyright holders, but you may include translations of some or all Invariant Sections in addition to the original versions of these Invariant Sections. You may include a translation of this License provided that you also include the original English version of this License. In case of a disagreement between the translation and the original English version of this License, the original English version will prevail. 9. TERMINATION You may not copy, modify, sublicense, or distribute the Document except as expressly provided for under this License. Any other attempt to copy, modify, sublicense or distribute the Document is void, and will automatically terminate your rights under this License. However, parties who have received copies, or rights, from you under this License will not have their licenses terminated so long as such parties remain in full compliance. 10. FUTURE REVISIONS OF THIS LICENSE The Free Software Foundation may publish new, revised versions of the GNU Free Documentation License from time to time. Such new versions will be similar in spirit to the present version, but may differ in detail to address new problems or concerns. See `http://www.gnu.org/copyleft/'. Each version of the License is given a distinguishing version number. If the Document specifies that a particular numbered version of this License "or any later version" applies to it, you have the option of following the terms and conditions either of that specified version or of any later version that has been published (not as a draft) by the Free Software Foundation.
