The `Top' Node Summary
----------------------
You can help readers by writing a summary in the `Top' node, after
the `@top' line, before the main or master menu. The summary should
briefly describe the Info file. You should also write the version
number of the program to which the manual applies in this section. This
helps the reader keep track of which manual is for which version of the
program. If the manual changes more frequently than the program or is
independent of it, you should also include an edition number for the
manual. (The title page should also contain this information: see
titlepage.)
Put the whole of the `Top' node, including the `@top' sectioning
command line if you have one, between `@ifinfo' and `@end ifinfo' so
none of the text appears in the printed output (Conditionals).
(You may want to repeat the brief description from the `Top' node within
`@iftex' ... `@end iftex' at the beginning of the first chapter, for those who
read the printed manual.)
