 <p>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&mdash;that is, a region.
 </p>
 <p>You can use either the <code class="code">texinfo-format-region</code> or the
 <code class="code">makeinfo-region</code> command to format a region:
 </p>
 <dl class="table">
 <dd><a class="index-entry-id" id="index-texinfo_002dformat_002dregion-1"></a>
 </dd>
 <dt><kbd class="kbd">C-c C-e C-r</kbd></dt>
 <dt><kbd class="kbd">M-x texinfo-format-region</kbd></dt>
 <dt><kbd class="kbd">C-c C-m C-r</kbd></dt>
 <dt><kbd class="kbd">M-x makeinfo-region</kbd></dt>
 <dd><p>Format the current region for Info.
 </p></dd>
 </dl>

 <p>You can use either the <code class="code">texinfo-format-buffer</code> or the
 <code class="code">makeinfo-buffer</code> command to format a whole buffer:
 </p>
 <dl class="table">
 <dd><a class="index-entry-id" id="index-texinfo_002dformat_002dbuffer-1"></a>
 </dd>
 <dt><kbd class="kbd">C-c C-e C-b</kbd></dt>
 <dt><kbd class="kbd">M-x texinfo-format-buffer</kbd></dt>
 <dt><kbd class="kbd">C-c C-m C-b</kbd></dt>
 <dt><kbd class="kbd">M-x makeinfo-buffer</kbd></dt>
 <dd><p>Format the current buffer for Info.
 </p></dd>
 </dl>

 <p>For example, after writing a Texinfo file, you can type the following:
 </p>
 <div class="example">
 <pre class="example-preformatted">C-u C-c C-u m
 </pre><pre class="exdent">or
 </pre><pre class="example-preformatted">C-u M-x texinfo-master-menu
 </pre></div>

 <p>This updates all the nodes and menus.  Then type the following to create
 an Info file:
 </p>
 <div class="example">
 <pre class="example-preformatted">C-c C-m C-b
 </pre><pre class="exdent">or
 </pre><pre class="example-preformatted">M-x makeinfo-buffer
 </pre></div>

 <p>See <a class="xref" href="Creating-an-Info-File.html">Creating an Info File</a> for details about Info formatting.
