30: Using `texinfo-show-structure'
31: ==============================
32:
33: It is not always easy to keep track of the nodes, chapters, sections
34: and subsections of a Texinfo file. This is especially true if you
35: are revising or adding to a Texinfo file that someone else has written.
36:
37: In GNU Emacs, in Texinfo mode, there is a command that will list all
38: the lines that begin with the @-commands that specify the structure:
39: @node, @chapter, @section, @appendix and so on. This is the
40: `texinfo-show-structure' command. It is bound to the keyboard
41: command `C-c C-s'. `texinfo-show-structure' displays the lines that
42: begin with the node and chapter structuring @-commands in another
43: window called the `*Occur*' buffer. For example, when
44: `texinfo-show-structure' is run on the first part of this chapter, it
45: produces the following:
46:
47: Lines matching
48: "^@\\(chapter\\|unnum\\|appendix\\|sect\\|sub\\|heading\\|major
49: \\|node\\)" in buffer new-texinfo-manual.texinfo.
50: 2:@node catching mistakes, @-Command Syntax, running info, top
51: 4:@chapter Catching Mistakes
52: 41:@node debugging with info, debugging with tex, , catching mistakes
53: 43:@section Catching errors with Info Formatting
54:
55: This means that lines 2, 4, 41 and 43 began with `@node', `@chapter',
56: `@node', and `@section' respectively. If you move your cursor into
57: the `*Occur*' window, you can position the cursor over one of the
58: lines and use the `C-c C-c' command (`occur-mode-goto-occurrence'),
59: to jump to the corresponding spot in the Texinfo file. *Note :
60: (emacs)Other Repeating Search, for more information about
61: `occur-mode-goto-occurrence'.
62:
63: The first line in the `*Occur*' window describes the "regular
64: expression" specified by TEXINFO-HEADING-PATTERN. This regular
65: expression is the pattern that `texinfo-show-structure' looks for.
66: *Note : (emacs)Regexps, for more information.
67:
68: When you give the `texinfo-show-structure' command, it will show the
69: structure of the whole buffer. If you want to see the structure of
70: just a part of the buffer, of one chapter, for example, use the `C-x
71: n' (`narrow-to-region') command to mark the region. (*Note :
72: (emacs)Narrowing.) This is how the example used above was generated.
73: (To see the whole buffer again, use `C-x w' (`widen').)
74:
75: You can remind yourself of the structure of a Texinfo file by looking
76: at the list in the `*Occur*' window; and if you have mis-named a node
77: or left out a section, you can correct the mistake.

86:
87: Using `occur'
88: -------------
89:
90: Sometimes the `texinfo-show-structure' command produces too much
91: information. Perhaps you want to remind yourself of the overall
92: structure of a Texinfo file, and are overwhelmed by the detailed list
93: produced by `texinfo-show-structure'. In this case, you can use the
94: `occur' command itself. To do this, type
95:
96: `M-x occur'
97:
98: and then, when prompted, type a "regexp", a regular expression for
99: the pattern you want to match. (*Note : (emacs)Regexps.) `occur'
100: works from the current location of the cursor in the buffer to the
101: end of the buffer. If you want to run `occur' on the whole buffer,
102: place the cursor at the beginning of the buffer. For example, to see
103: all the lines that contain the word `@chapter' in them, just type
104: `@chapter'. This will produce a list of the chapters. It will also
105: list all the sentences with `@chapter' in the middle of the line. If
106: you want to see only those lines that start with the word `@chapter',
107: type `^@chapter' when prompted by `occur'. If you want to see all
108: the lines that end with a word or phrase, end the last word with a
109: `$'; for example, `catching mistakes$'. This can be helpful when you
110: want to see all the nodes that are part of the same chapter or
111: section and therefore have the same `Up' pointer.

118:
119: Finding Badly Referenced Nodes
120: ==============================
121:
122: You can check whether any of the `Next', `Previous', `Up' or other
123: node pointers fail to point to a node with the `Info-validate' command.
124: This command checks that every node pointer points to an existing node.
125:
126: To use this command, you first need to load the `info' library and
127: then do `M-x Info-validate'.
128:
129: `M-x load-library RET info RET'
130: `M-x Info-validate'
131:
132: (Note that all the `Info' commands require an uppercase `I'.)
133:
134: If your file is ok, you will receive a message that says ``File
135: appears valid''. However, if you have a pointer that does not point
136: to a node, error messages will be displayed in a buffer called
137: `*problems in info file*'.
138:
139: For example, `Info-validate' was run on a test file that contained
140: only the first node of this manual. One of the messages said:
141:
142: In node "Overview", invalid Next: Texinfo Mode
143:
144: This meant that the node called `Overview' had a `Next' pointer that
145: did not point to anything (which was true in this case, since the
146: test file had only one node in it).
147:
148: Now suppose we add a node named `Texinfo Mode' to our test case but
149: we don't specify a `Previous' for this node. Then we will get the
150: following error message:
151:
152: In node "Texinfo Mode", should have Previous: Overview
153:
154: This is because every `Next' pointer should be matched by a
155: `Previous' (in the node where the `Next' points) which points back.
156:
157: `Info-validate' also checks that all menu items and cross-references
158: point to actual nodes.
159:
160: Significantly, `Info-validate' does not work with large files that
161: have been split. (Info thinks of a large file as being over 100,000
162: bytes, approximately.) In order to use `Info-validate' on a large
163: file, you must run `texinfo-format-buffer' with an argument so that
164: it does not split the Info file, and then create a tag table.

174:
175: Running `Info-validate' on a Large File.
176: ----------------------------------------
177:
178: You can run `Info-validate' only on a single Info file. The command
179: will not work on indirect subfiles that are generated when the master
180: file is split. If you have a large file (longer than 100,000 bytes),
181: you need to run the `texinfo-format-buffer' command in such a way
182: that it does not create indirect subfiles. You will also need to
183: create a tag table. When you have done this, you can run
184: `Info-validate' and look for badly referenced nodes.
185:
186: After you have validated the node structure, you can rerun
187: `texinfo-format-buffer' in the normal way so it will construct the
188: tag table and split the file automatically or, you can make the tag
189: table and split the file manually.
190:
191: To prevent the `texinfo-format-buffer' command from splitting a
192: Texinfo file into smaller Info files, give a prefix to the `M-x
193: texinfo-format-buffer' command:
194:
195: C-u M-x texinfo-format-buffer
196:
197: When you do this, Texinfo will not split the file and will not create
198: a tag table for it.
199:
200: Before you can run `M-x Info-validate' on the Info file, you need to
201: create a tag table for it. In order to do this, you first need to
202: load the `info' library into Emacs with the following command:
203:
204: M-x load-library RET info RET
205:
206: Then you can give the command:
207:
208: M-x Info-tagify
209:
210: This creates a file which you can validate.
211:
212: M-x Info-validate
213:
214: After you have checked the validity of the nodes, you can either run
215: `M-x texinfo-format-buffer' as you would normally, or else tagify and
216: split the file manually with the two commands `Info-tagify' and
217: `Info-split'.

222:
223: Splitting a File Manually
224: -------------------------
225:
226: If the file has more than 100,000 or so bytes in it, you should split
227: it or else let the `texinfo-format-buffer' command do it for you
228: automatically. (Generally you will let `texinfo-format-buffer' do
229: this job for you. *Note Creating an Info File::.)
230:
231: The split off files are called the indirect subfiles.
232:
233: Info files are split to save memory. With smaller files, Emacs does
234: not have make such a large buffer to hold the information. This way,
235: Emacs can save memory.
236:
237: If the Info file has more than 30 nodes, you should also make a tag
238: table for it. *Note Info-Validating a Large File::, for information
239: about creating a tag table.
240:
241: Before running `Info-split', you need to load the `info' library into
242: Emacs by giving the command `M-x load-library RET info RET'. After
243: you have done this, you can give the two commands:
244:
245: M-x Info-tagify
246: M-x Info-split
247:
248: (Note that the `I' in `Info' is uppercase.)
249:
250: When you use the `Info-split' command, the buffer is modified into a
251: (small) Info file which lists the indirect subfiles. This file
252: should be saved in place of the original visited file. The indirect
253: subfiles are written in the same directory the original file is in,
254: with names generated by appending `-' and a number to the original
255: file name.
256:
257: The primary file still functions as an Info file, but it contains
258: just the tag table and a directory of subfiles.

262: File: texinfo, Node: Command Syntax, Next: Include Files, Prev: Catching Mistakes, Up: Top
263:
264: @-Command Syntax
265: ****************
266:
267: The character `@' is used to start special Texinfo commands. (It has
268: the same meaning that `\' has in plain TeX.) Syntactically, there
269: are three classes of @-commands:
270:
271: 1. Non-alphabetic commands: @ followed by a punctuation character.
272: These commands are always part of the text within a paragraph,
273: and never take any argument. The two characters (@ and the
274: other one) are complete in themselves. For example, `@.', `@:',
275: `@{' and `@}'.
276:
277: 2. Alphabetic commands used within a paragraph.
278: These commands have @ followed by a letter or a word, followed
279: by an argument within braces. For example, the command `@dfn'
280: indicates the introductory or defining use of a term; it is used
281: as follows: `In Texinfo, @-commands are @dfn{mark-up} commands.'
282:
283: 3. Alphabetic commands used outside of paragraphs.
284: Each such command occupies an entire line. The line starts with
285: @, followed by the name of the command (a word) such as
286: `@center' or `@cindex'. If no argument is needed, the word is
287: followed by the end of the line. If there is an argument, it is
288: separated from the command name by a space.
289:
290: Thus, the alphabetic commands fall into two classes that have
291: different argument syntax. You cannot tell which class a command
292: falls in by the appearance of its name, but you can tell by the
293: command's meaning: if it makes sense to use the command together with
294: other words as part of a paragraph, the command is in class 2 and
295: must be followed by an argument in braces; otherwise, it is in class
296: 3 and uses the rest of the line as its argument.
297:
298: The purpose of having different syntax for commands of classes 2 and
299: 3 is to make the Texinfo file easier to read, and also to help the
300: GNU Emacs paragraph and filling commands work properly. There is
301: only one exception to this rule: the command `@refill', which is
302: always used at the end of a paragraph immediately following the final
303: period or other punctuation character. `@refill' takes no argument.
304: `@refill' never confuses the Emacs paragraph commands because it
305: cannot start at the beginning of a line.

311: Include Files
312: *************
313:
314: When Info was first created, it was customary to create many small
315: Info files on one subject. By doing this, Emacs did not have to make
316: a large buffer to hold the whole of a large Info file; instead, Emacs
317: allocated just enough memory for the small Info file that was needed
318: at the time. This way, Emacs could avoid wasting memory. Include
319: files were designed as a way to create a single, large printed manual
320: out of several smaller Info files.
321:
322: However, because large Info files can now be split, include files are
323: no longer strictly necessary and they are used infrequently. Most
324: often, they are now used in projects where several different people
325: are writing different sections of a document simultaneously.
326:
327: How Include Files Work
328: ======================
329:
330: In a Texinfo file, a line of the form `@include `filename'' is
331: ignored when the Info file is generated, but in a printed manual it
332: causes the contents of the file `filename' to be processed and
333: included in the manual. The contents of the file `filename' can be
334: ignored by Info because the first file can refer to `filename' with
335: menus as well as cross references. In the Info system, all the
336: information is, as it were, `in one place'. However, when two
337: printed manuals are made from two separate Texinfo files, the two
338: manuals are separate, and even if they give each other as references,
339: the references are to separate documents. Consequently, you will
340: sometimes want to create a comprehensive, printed manual that
341: contains all the necessary information together in one place.
342:
343: `@include' files are special Texinfo files that are used only for
344: making such a comprehensive manual. They are listed inside an outer
345: file that contains nothing but the beginning and end matter of a
346: Texinfo file and a number of `@include' commands listing the included
347: files.
348:
349: An `@include' file--a file that will be listed inside an outer file
350: and processed with the `@include' command--should not start with
351: `\input texinfo', as that has already been done by the outer file,
352: and the character `\' has already been redefined to generate a
353: backslash in the output. Instead, an `@include' file usually begins
354: with a node; it lacks the beginning and ending of a Texinfo file that
355: are described in the chapters on beginning and ending a file. *Note
356: Beginning a File::, and *note Ending a File::.
357:
358: Likewise, an `@include' file should not end with `@bye', since that
359: would terminate TeX processing immediately.
360:
361: Here is an example of a outer Texinfo file with `@include' files
362: within it:
363:
364: \input texinfo @c -*-texinfo-*-
365: @setfilename include

393:
394: TeX Input Initialization
395: ************************
396:
397: You must put an input command on the first line of every Texinfo file
398: to tell TeX to use the `texinfo.tex' file when it is processing the
399: Texinfo source file. Otherwise TeX will not know what to do with the
400: @-commands. (The TeX input command is written as `\input texinfo'.
401: *Note First Line::.)
402:
403: TeX needs to be told where to find the `texinfo.tex' file that you
404: have told it to input. The preferred way to do this is to put
405: `texinfo.tex' in the default inputs directory, which is the
406: `/usr/lib/tex/macros' directory. If this is done (as it usually is
407: when GNU Emacs is installed), TeX will find the file and you don't
408: have to do anything. Alternatively, you can put `texinfo.tex' in the
409: directory in which the Texinfo source file is located.
410:
411: However, you may want to specify the location of the `\input' file
412: yourself. One way to do this is to write the complete path for the
413: file after the `\input' command. Another way is to set the
414: `TEXINPUTS' environment variable in your `.cshrc' or `.profile' file.
415: The `TEXINPUTS' environment variable will tell TeX where to find the
416: `texinfo.tex' file and any other file that you might want TeX to use.
417:
418: Whether you use a `.cshrc' or `.profile' file depends on whether you
419: use `csh' or `sh' for your shell command interpreter. When you use
420: `csh', it looks to the `.cshrc' file for initialization information,
421: and when you use `sh', it looks to the `.profile' file.
422:
423: In a `.cshrc' file, you could use the following `csh' command sequence:
424:
425: setenv TEXINPUTS .:/usr/me/mylib:/usr/lib/tex/macros
426:
427: In a `.profile' file, you could use the following `sh' command
428: sequence:
429:
430: TEXINPUTS=.:/usr/me/mylib:/usr/lib/tex/macros
431: export TEXINPUTS
432:
433: This would cause TeX to look for `\input' file first in the current
434: directory, indicated by the `.', then in a hypothetical user's
435: `me/mylib' directory, and finally in the system library.

441: Standard text for Copying Permissions
442: *************************************
443:
444: Texinfo files should contain sections that tell the readers that they
445: have the right to copy and distribute the Info file, the printed
446: manual and any accompanying software. This appendix contains the
447: standard text of the Free Software Foundation copying permission
448: notice. For an example of the text that could be used for the
449: Distribution, General Public License and NO WARRANTY sections of a
450: document, see the latest version of the ``GNU Emacs Manual''.
451:
452: The texts of the Free Software Foundation copying permission notice
453: in the `@ifinfo' section and in the `@titlepage' section are slightly
454: different.
455:
456: The `@ifinfo' section usually begins with a line that says what the
457: file documents. This is what a person looking at the file will first
458: read if he or she reads the unprocessed Texinfo file or if he or she
459: uses the advanced Info command `g *'. *note info: (info)Expert, for
460: more information. (If the reader uses the regular Info commands, he
461: or she will usually start reading at the first node and skip this
462: first section, which is not in a node.)
463:
464: In the `@ifinfo' section, the summary sentence should be followed by
465: a copyright notice and then by the copying permission notice. One of
466: the copying permission paragraphs is enclosed in `@ignore' and `@end
467: ignore' commands. This paragraph states that the Texinfo file can be
468: processed through TeX and printed, provided the printed manual
469: carries the proper copying permission notice. This paragraph is not
470: made part of the Info file since it is not relevant to the Info file;
471: but it is a mandatory part of the Texinfo file since it permits
472: people to process the Texinfo file in TeX.
473:
474: In the printed manual, the Free Software Foundation copying
475: permission notice follows the copyright notice and publishing
476: information and is located within the region delineated by the
477: `@titlepage' and `@end titlepage' commands. The copying permission
478: notice is exactly the same as the notice in the `@ifinfo' section
479: except that the paragraph enclosed in `@ignore' and `@end ignore'
480: commands is not part of the notice.
481:
482: To make it simpler to copy the permission notice into each section of
483: the Texinfo file, the complete permission notices for each section
484: are reproduced in full below even though most of the information is
485: redundant.
486:
487: Note that you my have to specify the correct name of a section
488: mentioned in the permission notice. For example, in the ``GDB
489: Manual'', the name of the section referring to the General Public
