Using Texinfo Mode
******************
You may edit a Texinfo file with any text editor you choose. A
Texinfo file is no different from any other ASCII file. However, GNU
Emacs comes with a special mode, called Texinfo mode, that provides
Emacs commands and tools to help ease your work.
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.
