21.8 TeX Formatting Requirements Summary
Every Texinfo file that is to be input to TeX must begin with a
\input
command and must contain an @setfilename
command:
\input texinfo @setfilename arg-not-used-by-TeX
The first command instructs TeX to load the macros it needs to process a Texinfo file and the second command opens auxiliary files.
Every Texinfo file must end with a line that terminates TeX’s processing and forces out unfinished pages:
@bye
Strictly speaking, these lines are all a Texinfo file needs to be processed successfully by TeX.
Usually, however, the beginning includes an @settitle
command to
define the title of the printed manual, an @setchapternewpage
command, a title page, a copyright page, and permissions. Besides an
@bye
, the end of a file usually includes indices and a table of
contents. (And of course most manuals contain a body of text as well.)
For more information, see:
