Comments
========
You can write comments in a Texinfo file that will not appear in
either the Info file or the printed manual by using the `@comment'
command (which may be abbreviated to `@c'). Such comments are for the
person who reads the Texinfo file. All the text on a line that follows
either `@comment' or `@c' is a comment; the rest of the line does not
appear in either the Info file or the printed manual. (Often, you can
write the `@comment' or `@c' in the middle of a line, and only the text
that follows after the `@comment' or `@c' command does not appear; but
some commands, such as `@settitle' and `@setfilename', work on a whole
line. You cannot use `@comment' or `@c' in a line beginning with such
a command.)
You can write long stretches of text that will not appear in either
the Info file or the printed manual by using the `@ignore' and `@end
ignore' commands. Write each of these commands on a line of its own,
starting each command at the beginning of the line. Text between these
two commands does not appear in the processed output. You can use
`@ignore' and `@end ignore' for writing comments. Often, `@ignore' and
`@end ignore' is used to enclose a part of the copying permissions that
applies to the Texinfo source file of a document, but not to the Info
or printed version of the document.
