Texinfo Mode Summary
====================
In Texinfo mode, each set of commands has default keybindings that
begin with the same keys. All the commands that are custom-created for
Texinfo mode begin with `C-c'. The keys are somewhat mnemonic.
Insert Commands
---------------
The insert commands are invoked by typing `C-c' twice and then the
first letter of the @-command to be inserted. (It might make more
sense mnemonically to use `C-c C-i', for `custom insert', but `C-c C-c'
is quick to type.)
C-c C-c c Insert `@code'.
C-c C-c d Insert `@dfn'.
C-c C-c e Insert `@end'.
C-c C-c i Insert `@item'.
C-c C-c n Insert `@node'.
C-c C-c s Insert `@samp'.
C-c C-c v Insert `@var'.
C-c C-c { Insert braces.
C-c C-c ]
C-c C-c } Move out of enclosing braces.
C-c C-c C-d Insert a node's section title
in the space for the description
in a menu entry line.
Show Structure
--------------
The `texinfo-show-structure' command is often used within a narrowed
region.
C-c C-s List all the headings.
The Master Update Command
-------------------------
The `texinfo-master-menu' command creates a master menu; and can be
used to update every node and menu in a file as well.
C-c C-u m
M-x texinfo-master-menu
Create or update a master menu.
C-u C-c C-u m With `C-u' as a prefix argument, first
create or update all nodes and regular
menus, and then create a master menu.
Update Pointers
---------------
The update pointer commands are invoked by typing `C-c C-u' and then
either `C-n' for `texinfo-update-node' or `C-e' for
`texinfo-every-node-update'.
C-c C-u C-n Update a node.
C-c C-u C-e Update every node in the buffer.
Update Menus
------------
Invoke the update menu commands by typing `C-c C-u' and then either
`C-m' for `texinfo-make-menu' or `C-a' for `texinfo-all-menus-update'.
To update both nodes and menus at the same time, precede `C-c C-u C-a'
with `C-u'.
C-c C-u C-m Make or update a menu.
C-c C-u C-a Make or update all
menus in a buffer.
C-u C-c C-u C-a With `C-u' as a prefix argument,
first create or update all nodes and
then create or update all menus.
Format for Info
---------------
The Info formatting commands that are written in Emacs Lisp are
invoked by typing `C-c C-e' and then either `C-r' for a region or `C-b'
for the whole buffer.
The Info formatting commands that are written in C and based on the
`makeinfo' program are invoked by typing `C-c C-m' and then either
`C-r' for a region or `C-b' for the whole buffer.
Use the `texinfo-format...' commands:
C-c C-e C-r Format the region.
C-c C-e C-b Format the buffer.
Use `makeinfo':
C-c C-m C-r Format the region.
C-c C-m C-b Format the buffer.
C-c C-m C-l Recenter the `makeinfo' output buffer.
C-c C-m C-k Kill the `makeinfo' formatting job.
Typeset and Print
-----------------
The TeX typesetting and printing commands are invoked by typing `C-c
C-t' and then another control command: `C-r' for `texinfo-tex-region',
`C-b' for `texinfo-tex-buffer', and so on.
C-c C-t C-r Run TeX on the region.
C-c C-t C-b Run `texi2dvi' on the buffer.
C-c C-t C-i Run `texindex'.
C-c C-t C-p Print the DVI file.
C-c C-t C-q Show the print queue.
C-c C-t C-d Delete a job from the print queue.
C-c C-t C-k Kill the current TeX formatting job.
C-c C-t C-x Quit a currently stopped TeX formatting job.
C-c C-t C-l Recenter the output buffer.
Other Updating Commands
-----------------------
The remaining updating commands do not have standard keybindings
because they are rarely used.
M-x texinfo-insert-node-lines
Insert missing `@node' lines in region.
With `C-u' as a prefix argument,
use section titles as node names.
M-x texinfo-multiple-files-update
Update a multi-file document.
With `C-u 2' as a prefix argument,
create or update all nodes and menus
in all included files first.
M-x texinfo-indent-menu-description

M-x texinfo-sequential-node-update
Insert node pointers in strict sequence.
