The `Top' Node and Master Menu
==============================

  The `Top' node is the node from which you enter an Info file.

  A `Top' node should contain a brief description of the Info file and
an extensive, master menu for the whole Info file.  This helps the
reader understand what the Info file is about.  Also, you should write
the version number of the program to which the Info file applies; or,
at least, the edition number.

  The contents of the `Top' node should appear only in the Info file;
none of it should appear in printed output, so enclose it between
`@ifinfo' and `@end ifinfo' commands.  (TeX does not print either an
`@node' line or a menu; they appear only in Info; strictly speaking,
you are not required to enclose these parts between `@ifinfo' and `@end
ifinfo', but it is simplest to do so.  Note: Conditionally Visible
Text.)
