| |
| <p>A Texinfo file is usually structured like a book with chapters, |
| sections, subsections, and the like. This structure can be visualized |
| as a tree (or rather as an upside-down tree) with the root at the top |
| and the levels corresponding to chapters, sections, subsection, and |
| subsubsections. |
| </p> |
| <p>Here is a diagram that shows a Texinfo file with three chapters, each |
| with two sections. |
| </p> |
| <div class="example"> |
| <div class="group"><pre class="example-preformatted"> Top |
| | |
| ------------------------------------- |
| | | | |
| Chapter 1 Chapter 2 Chapter 3 |
| | | | |
| -------- -------- -------- |
| | | | | | | |
| Section Section Section Section Section Section |
| 1.1 1.2 2.1 2.2 3.1 3.2 |
| |
| </pre></div></div> |
| |
| <p>In a Texinfo file that has this structure, the beginning of Chapter 2 |
| would be written like this: |
| </p> |
| <div class="example"> |
| <div class="group"><pre class="example-preformatted">@node Chapter 2 |
| @chapter Chapter 2 |
| </pre></div></div> |
| |
| <p>For purposes of example, here is how it would be written with |
| explicit node pointers: |
| </p> |
| <div class="example"> |
| <div class="group"><pre class="example-preformatted">@node Chapter 2, Chapter 3, Chapter 1, Top |
| @chapter Chapter 2 |
| </pre></div></div> |
| |
| <p>The chapter structuring commands are described in the sections that |
| follow; the <code class="code">@node</code> command is described in |
| the previous chapter (see <a class="pxref" href="Nodes.html">Nodes</a>). |
