`@top'
======

  The `@top' command is a special sectioning command that you use only
after an `@node Top' line at the beginning of a Texinfo file.  The
`@top' command tells the `makeinfo' formatter which node is the `Top'
node, so it can use it as the root of the node tree if your manual uses
implicit pointers.  It has the same typesetting effect as `@unnumbered'
(Note: `@unnumbered' and `@appendix'.).  For
detailed information, see Note: The `@top' Command.


  The `@top' node and its menu (if any) is conventionally wrapped in an
`@ifnottex' conditional so that it will appear only in Info and HTML
output, not TeX.
