makeinfo
The makeinfo
program has a feature for automatically creating
node pointers for a hierarchically organized file that lacks
them.
When you take advantage of this feature, you do not need to write the
`Next', `Previous', and `Up' pointers after the name of a node.
However, you must write a sectioning command, such as @chapter
or @section
, on the line immediately following each truncated
@node
line. You cannot write a comment line after a node
line; the section line must follow it immediately.
In addition, you must follow the `Top' @node
line with a line beginning
with @top
to mark the `Top' node in the file. See section @top
.
Finally, you must write the name of each node (except for the `Top' node) in a menu that is one or more hierarchical levels above the node's hierarchical level.
This node pointer insertion feature in makeinfo
is an
alternative to the menu and pointer creation and update commands in
Texinfo mode. (See section Updating Nodes and Menus.) It is especially
helpful to people who do not use GNU Emacs for writing Texinfo
documents.
