(texinfo)Structuring


Chapter Structuring
*******************

  The "chapter structuring" commands divide a document into a hierarchy
of chapters, sections, subsections, and subsubsections.  These commands
generate large headings; they also provide information for the table of
contents of a printed manual (*note Generating a Table of Contents:
Contents.).

  The chapter structuring commands do not create an Info node structure,
so normally you should put an `@node' command immediately before each
chapter structuring command (Note: Nodes).  The only time you are
likely to use the chapter structuring commands without using the node
structuring commands is if you are writing a document that contains no
cross references and will never be transformed into Info format.

  It is unlikely that you will ever write a Texinfo file that is
intended only as an Info file and not as a printable document.  If you
do, you might still use chapter structuring commands to create a
heading at the top of each node--but you don't need to.
