Overview of Texinfo
*******************

  "Texinfo"(1) (see Overview-Footnotes) is a documentation system
that uses a single source file to produce both 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 "Info
file", with an Info documentation-reading program.)

Using Texinfo: Create a conventional printed book or an Info file.
Info Files: What is an Info file?
Printed Books: Characteristics of a printed book or manual.
Formatting Commands: @-commands are used for formatting.
Conventions: General rules for writing a Texinfo file.
Comments: How to write comments and mark regions that the formatting commands will ignore.
Minimum: What a Texinfo file must have.
Six Parts: Usually, a Texinfo file has six parts.
Short Sample: A short sample Texinfo file.
