The Texinfo File Header
=======================

   Texinfo files start with at least three lines that provide Info and
TeX with necessary information.  These are the `input texinfo' line,
the `@settitle' line, and the `@setfilename' line.  If you want to run
TeX on just a part of the Texinfo File, you must write the `@settitle'
and `@setfilename' lines between start-of-header and end-of-header
lines.

   Thus, the beginning of a Texinfo file looks like this:

     input texinfo   @c -*-texinfo-*-
     @setfilename sample.info
     @settitle Sample Document

or else like this:

     input texinfo   @c -*-texinfo-*-
     @c %**start of header
     @setfilename sample.info
     @settitle Sample Document
     @c %**end of header

* Menu:

* First Line                   The first line of a Texinfo file.
* Start of Header              Formatting a region requires this.
* setfilename                  Tell Info the name of the Info file.
* settitle                     Create a title for the printed work.
* setchapternewpage            Start chapters on right-hand pages.
* paragraphindent              An option to specify paragraph indentation.
* End of Header                Formatting a region requires this.
