`@chapter'
==========

  `@chapter' identifies a chapter in the document.  Write the command
at the beginning of a line and follow it on the same line by the title
of the chapter.

  For example, this chapter in this manual is entitled "Chapter
Structuring"; the `@chapter' line looks like this:

     @chapter Chapter Structuring

  In TeX, the `@chapter' command creates a chapter in the document,
specifying the chapter title.  The chapter is numbered automatically.

  In Info, the `@chapter' command causes the title to appear on a line
by itself, with a line of asterisks inserted underneath.  Thus, in
Info, the above example produces the following output:

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

  Texinfo also provides a command `@centerchap', which is analogous to
`@unnumbered', but centers its argument in the printed output.  This
kind of stylistic choice is not usually offered by Texinfo.
