<p>Texinfo mode provides special features for working with Texinfo files.
You can:
</p>
<ul class="itemize mark-bullet">
<li>Insert frequently used @-commands.
</li><li>Automatically create <code class="code">@node</code> lines.
</li><li>Show the structure of a Texinfo source file.
</li><li>Automatically create or update the &lsquo;Next&rsquo;,
&lsquo;Previous&rsquo;, and &lsquo;Up&rsquo; pointers of a node.
</li><li>Automatically create or update menus.
</li><li>Automatically create a master menu.
</li><li>Format a part or all of a file for Info.
</li><li>Typeset and print part or all of a file.
</li></ul>
<p>Perhaps the two most helpful features are those for inserting frequently
used @-commands and for creating node pointers and menus.
