Formatting for Info
===================

   Texinfo mode provides several commands for formatting part or all of
a Texinfo file for Info.  Often, when you are writing a document, you
want to format only part of a file--that is, a region.

   You can use either the `texinfo-format-region' or the
`makeinfo-region' command to format a region:

`C-c C-e C-r'
`M-x texinfo-format-region'
`C-c C-m C-r'
`M-x makeinfo-region'
     Format the current region for Info.

   You can use either the `texinfo-format-buffer' or the
`makeinfo-buffer' command to format a whole buffer:

`C-c C-e C-b'
`M-x texinfo-format-buffer'
`C-c C-m C-b'
`M-x makeinfo-buffer'
     Format the current buffer for Info.

   For example, after writing a Texinfo file, you can type the
following:

     C-u C-c C-u m
or
     C-u M-x texinfo-master-menu

This updates all the nodes and menus.  Then type the following to create
an Info file:

     C-c C-m C-b
or
     M-x makeinfo-buffer

   For the Info formatting commands to work, the file *must* include a
line that has `@setfilename' in its header.

   Not all systems support the `makeinfo'-based formatting commands.
