C.1 Short Sample

Here is a complete, short sample Texinfo file. You can see this file, with comments, in the first chapter. See Short Sample.

In a nutshell: The makeinfo program transforms a Texinfo source file such as this into an Info file or HTML; and TeX typesets it for a printed manual. 


\input texinfo
