To move forward through the text and see another +screen full, press <SPC>, the Space bar. To move back up, press the +key labeled `Backspace' or `DEL' (on some keyboards, this key might be +labeled `Delete'). + + Here are 40 lines of junk, so you can try <SPC> and <DEL> and see +what they do. At the end are instructions of what you should do next. + +This is line 20 +This is line 21 +This is line 22 +This is line 23 +This is line 24 +This is line 25 +This is line 26 +This is line 27 +This is line 28 +This is line 29 +This is line 30 +This is line 31 +This is line 32 +This is line 33 +This is line 34 +This is line 35 +This is line 36 +This is line 37 +This is line 38 +This is line 39 +This is line 40 +This is line 41 +This is line 42 +This is line 43 +This is line 44 +This is line 45 +This is line 46 +This is line 47 +This is line 48 +This is line 49 +This is line 50 +This is line 51 +This is line 52 +This is line 53 +This is line 54 +This is line 55 +This is line 56 +This is line 57 +This is line 58 +This is line 59 + + If you have managed to get here, go back to the beginning with `DEL' +(or <BACKSPACE>), and come back here again, then you understand the +about the `Space' and `Backspace' keys. So now type an `n' --just one +character; don't type the quotes and don't type the Return key +afterward-- to get to the normal start of the course. + + +File: info.info, Node: Help, Next: Help-P, Prev: Help-Small-Screen, Up: Getting Started + +1.2 How to use Info +=================== + +You are talking to the program Info, for reading documentation. + + There are two ways to use Info: from within Emacs or as a stand-alone +reader that you can invoke from a shell using the command `info'. + + Right now you are looking at one "Node" of Information. A node +contains text describing a specific topic at a specific level of +detail. This node's topic is "how to use Info". The mode line says +that this is node `Help' in the file `info'. + + The top line of a node is its "header". This node's header (look at +it now) says that the `Next' node after this one is the node called +`Help-P'. An advanced Info command lets you go to any node whose name +you know. In the stand-alone Info reader program, the header line +shows the names of this node and the info file as well. In Emacs, the +header line is duplicated in a special typeface, and the duplicate +remains at the top of the window all the time even if you scroll +through the node. + + Besides a `Next', a node can have a `Previous' or an `Up' links, or +both. As you can see, this node has all of these links. + + Now it is time to move on to the `Next' node, named `Help-P'. + +>> Type `n' to move there. Type just one character; + do not type the quotes and do not type a <RET> afterward. + +`>>' in the margin means it is really time to try a command. + +>> If you are in Emacs and have a mouse, and if you already practiced + typing `n' to get to the next node, click now with the middle + mouse button on the `Next' link to do the same "the mouse way". + + +File: info.info, Node: Help-P, Next: Help-^L, Prev: Help, Up: Getting Started + +1.3 Returning to the Previous node +================================== + +This node is called `Help-P'. The `Previous' node, as you see, is +`Help', which is the one you just came from using the `n' command. +Another `n' command now would take you to the next node, `Help-^L'. + +>> But do not type `n' yet. First, try the `p' command, + or click the middle mouse button on the `Prev' link. That + takes you to the `Previous' node. Then use `n' to return here. + + If you read this in Emacs, you will see an `Info' item in the menu +bar, close to its right edge. Clicking the mouse on the `Info' +menu-bar item opens a menu of commands which include `Next' and `Prev' +(and also some others which you didn't yet learn about). + + This all probably seems insultingly simple so far, but _please don't_ +start skimming. Things will get complicated soon enough! Also, please +do not try a new command until you are told it is time to. You could +make Info skip past an important warning that was coming up. + +>> Now do an `n', or click the middle mouse button on the `Next' + link, to get to the node `Help-^L' and learn more. + + +File: info.info, Node: Help-^L, Next: Help-Inv, Prev: Help-P, Up: Getting Started + +1.4 The Space, DEL, B and ^L commands +===================================== + +This node's mode line tells you that you are now at node `Help-^L', and +the header line tells you that `p' would get you back to `Help-P'. The +node's title is highlighted and may be underlined as well; it says what +the node is about. + + This is a big node and it does not all fit on your display screen. +You can tell that there is more that is not visible because you can see +the string `--Top-----' rather than `--All----' near the bottom right +corner of the screen. + + The <SPC>, <BACKSPACE> (or <DEL>)(1) and `b' commands exist to allow +you to "move around" in a node that does not all fit on the screen at +once. <SPC> moves forward, to show what was below the bottom of the +screen. <DEL> or <BACKSPACE> moves backward, to show what was above +the top of the screen (there is not anything above the top until you +have typed some spaces). + +>> Now try typing a <SPC> (afterward, type a <BACKSPACE> to + return here). + + When you type the <SPC>, the two lines that were at the bottom of the +screen appear at the top, followed by more lines. <DEL> or <BACKSPACE> +takes the two lines from the top and moves them to the bottom, +_usually_, but if there are not a full screen's worth of lines above +them they may not make it all the way to the bottom. + + If you are reading this in Emacs, note that the header line is always +visible, never scrolling off the display. That way, you can always see +the `Next', `Prev', and `Up' links, and you can conveniently go to one +of these links at any time by clicking the middle mouse button on the +link. + + <SPC> and <DEL> not only move forward and backward through the +current node. They also move between nodes. <SPC> at the end of a +node moves to the next node; <DEL> (or <BACKSPACE>) at the beginning of +a node moves to the previous node. In effect, these commands scroll +through all the nodes in an Info file as a single logical sequence. +You can read an entire manual top to bottom by just typing <SPC>, and +move backward through the entire manual from bottom to top by typing +<DEL> (or <BACKSPACE>). + + In this sequence, a node's subnodes appear following their parent. +If a node has a menu, <SPC> takes you into the subnodes listed in the +menu, one by one. Once you reach the end of a node, and have seen all +of its subnodes, <SPC> takes you to the next node or to the parent's +next node. + + Many keyboards nowadays have two scroll keys labeled `PageUp' and +`PageDown' (or maybe `Prior' and `Next'). If your keyboard has these +keys, you can use them to move forward and backward through the text of +one node, like <SPC> and <BACKSPACE> (or <DEL>). However, <PAGEUP> and +<PAGEDOWN> keys never scroll beyond the beginning or the end of the +current node. + + If your screen is ever garbaged, you can tell Info to display it +again by typing `C-l' (`Control-L', that is--hold down <CTRL> and type +`L' or `l'). + +>> Type `C-l' now. + + To move back to the beginning of the node you are on, you can type +the <BACKSPACE> key (or <DEL>) many times. You can also type `b' just +once. `b' stands for "beginning." + +>> Try that now. (We have put in enough verbiage to push this past + the first screenful, but screens are so big nowadays that perhaps it + isn't enough. You may need to shrink your Emacs or Info window.) + Then come back, by typing <SPC> one or more times. + + If your screen is very tall, all of this node might fit at once. In +that case, `b' won't do anything. But you could observe the effect of +the `b' key if you use a smaller window. + + You have just learned a considerable number of commands. If you want +to use one but have trouble remembering which, you should type a `?' +(in Emacs it runs the `Info-summary' command) which displays a brief +list of commands. When you are finished looking at the list, make it +go away by typing a <SPC> repeatedly. + +>> Type a <?> now. Press <SPC> to see consecutive screenfuls of + the list until finished. Then type <SPC> several times. If + you are using Emacs, the help will then go away automatically. + + (If you are using the stand-alone Info reader, type `C-x 0' to return +here, that is--press and hold <CTRL>, type an `x', then release <CTRL> +and `x', and press `0'--a zero, not the letter "o".) + + From now on, you will encounter large nodes without warning, and will +be expected to know how to use <SPC> and <BACKSPACE> to move around in +them without being told. Since not all terminals have the same size +screen, it would be impossible to warn you anyway. + +>> Now type `n', or click the middle mouse button on the `Next' link, + to visit the next node. + + ---------- Footnotes ---------- + + (1) The key which we call "Backspace or DEL" in this manual is +labeled differently on different keyboards. Look for a key which is a +little ways above the <ENTER> or <RET> key and which you normally use +outside Emacs to erase the character before the cursor, i.e. the +character you typed last. It might be labeled `Backspace' or `<-' or +`DEL', or sometimes `Delete'. + + +File: info.info, Node: Help-Inv, Next: Help-M, Prev: Help-^L, Up: Getting Started + +1.5 Invisible text in Emacs Info +================================ + +Before discussing menus, we need to make some remarks that are only +relevant to users reading Info using Emacs. Users of the stand-alone +version can skip this node by typing `]' now. + + In Emacs, certain text that appears in the stand-alone version is +normally hidden, technically because it has the `invisibility' +property. Invisible text is really a part of the text. It becomes +visible (by default) after killing and yanking, it appears in printed +output, it gets saved to file just like any other text, and so on. +Thus it is useful to know it is there. + + You can make invisible text visible by using the command `M-x +visible-mode'. Visible mode is a minor mode, so using the command a +second time will make the text invisible again. Watch the effects of +the command on the "menu" below and the top line of this node. + + If you prefer to _always_ see the invisible text, you can set +`Info-hide-note-references' to `nil'. Enabling Visible mode +permanently is not a real alternative, because Emacs Info also uses +(although less extensively) another text property that can change the +text being displayed, the `display' property. Only the invisibility +property is affected by Visible mode. When, in this tutorial, we refer +to the `Emacs' behavior, we mean the _default_ Emacs behavior. + + Now type `]', to learn about the `]' and `[' commands. + +* Menu: + +* ]: Help-]. Node telling about ]. +* stuff: Help-]. Same node. +* Help-]:: Yet again, same node. + + +File: info.info, Node: Help-], Up: Help-Inv + +1.5.1 The `]' and `[' commands +------------------------------ + +If you type `n' now, you get an error message saying that this node has +no next node. Similarly, if you type `p', the error message tells you +that there is no previous node. (The exact message depends on the Info +reader you use.) This is because `n' and `p' carry you to the next and +previous node _at the same level_. The present node is contained in a +menu (see next) of the node you came from, and hence is considered to +be at a lower level. It is the only node in the previous node's menu +(even though it was listed three times). Hence it has no next or +previous node that `n' or `p' could move to. + + If you systematically move through a manual by typing `n', you run +the risk of skipping many nodes. You do not run this risk if you +systematically use `<SPC>', because, when you scroll to the bottom of a +node and type another `<SPC>', then this carries you to the following +node in the manual _regardless of level_. If you immediately want to +go to that node, without having to scroll to the bottom of the screen +first, you can type `]'. + + Similarly, `<BACKSPACE>' carries you to the preceding node regardless +of level, after you scrolled to the beginning of the present node. If +you want to go to the preceding node immediately, you can type `['. + + For instance, typing this sequence will come back here in three steps: +`[ n ['. To do the same backward, type `] p ]'. + + Now type `]' to go to the next node and learn about menus. + + +File: info.info, Node: Help-M, Next: Help-Xref, Prev: Help-Inv, Up: Getting Started + +1.6 Menus and the `m' command +============================= + +With only the `n' (next), `p' (previous), `<SPC>', `<BACKSPACE>', `]' +and `[' commands for moving between nodes, nodes are restricted to a +linear sequence. Menus allow a branching structure. A menu is a list +of other nodes you can move to. It is actually just part of the text +of the node formatted specially so that Info can interpret it. The +beginning of a menu is always identified by a line which starts with +`* Menu:'. A node contains a menu if and only if it has a line in it +which starts that way. The only menu you can use at any moment is the +one in the node you are in. To use a menu in any other node, you must +move to that node first. + + After the start of the menu, each line that starts with a `*' +identifies one subtopic. The line usually contains a brief name for +the subtopic (followed by a `:', normally hidden in Emacs), the name of +the node that talks about that subtopic (again, normally hidden in +Emacs), and optionally some further description of the subtopic. Lines +in the menu that do not start with a `*' have no special meaning--they +are only for the human reader's benefit and do not define additional +subtopics. Here is an example: + + * Foo: Node about FOO. This tells about FOO. + + The subtopic name is Foo, and the node describing it is `Node about +FOO'. The rest of the line is just for the reader's Information. [[ +But this line is not a real menu item, simply because there is no line +above it which starts with `* Menu:'. Also, in a real menu item, the +`*' would appear at the very start of the line. This is why the +"normally hidden" text in Emacs, namely `: Node about FOO.', is +actually visible in this example, even when Visible mode is off.]] + + When you use a menu to go to another node (in a way that will be +described soon), what you specify is the subtopic name, the first thing +in the menu line. Info uses it to find the menu line, extracts the +node name from it, and goes to that node. The reason that there is +both a subtopic name and a node name is that the node name must be +meaningful to the computer and may therefore have to be ugly looking. +The subtopic name can be chosen just to be convenient for the user to +specify. Often the node name is convenient for the user to specify and +so both it and the subtopic name are the same. There is an +abbreviation for this: + + * Foo:: This tells about FOO. + +This means that the subtopic name and node name are the same; they are +both `Foo'. (The `::' is normally hidden in Emacs.) + +>> Now use <SPC> to find the menu in this node, then come back to + the front with a `b' and some <SPC>s. As you see, a menu is + actually visible in its node. If you cannot find a menu in a node + by looking at it, then the node does not have a menu and the + `m' command is not available. + + If you keep typing <SPC> once the menu appears on the screen, it will +move to another node (the first one in the menu). If that happens, +type <BACKSPACE> to come back. + + The command to go to one of the subnodes is `m'. This is very +different from the commands you have used: it is a command that prompts +you for more input. + + The Info commands you know do not need additional input; when you +type one of them, Info processes it instantly and then is ready for +another command. The `m' command is different: it needs to know the +"name of the subtopic". Once you have typed `m', Info tries to read +the subtopic name. + + Now, in the stand-alone Info, look for the line containing many +dashes near the bottom of the screen. (This is the stand-alone +equivalent for the mode line in Emacs.) There is one more line beneath +that one, but usually it is blank. (In Emacs, this is the echo area.) +When it is blank, Info is ready for a command, such as `n' or `b' or +<SPC> or `m'. If that line contains text ending in a colon, it means +Info is reading more input for the last command. You can't type an +Info command then, because Info is trying to read input, not commands. +You must either give the input and finish the command you started, or +type `Control-g' to cancel the command. When you have done one of +those things, the input entry line becomes blank again. Then you can +type Info commands again. + + The command to go to a subnode via a menu is `m'. After you type the +`m', the line at the bottom of the screen says `Menu item: '. You must +then type the name of the subtopic you want, and end it with a <RET>. +In Emacs, `m' runs the command `Info-menu'. + + You can abbreviate the subtopic name. If the abbreviation is not +unique, the first matching subtopic is chosen. Some menus put the +shortest possible abbreviation for each subtopic name in capital +letters, so you can see how much you need to type. It does not matter +whether you use upper case or lower case when you type the subtopic. +You should not put any spaces at the end, or inside of the item name, +except for one space where a space appears in the item in the menu. + + You can also use the "completion" feature to help enter the subtopic +name. If you type the <TAB> key after entering part of a name, it will +fill in more of the name--as much as Info can deduce from the part you +have entered. + + If you move the cursor to one of the menu subtopic lines, then you do +not need to type the argument: you just type a <RET>, and it stands for +the subtopic of the line you are on. You can also click the middle +mouse button directly on the subtopic line to go there. + + Here is a menu to give you a chance to practice. This menu gives you +three ways of going to one place, Help-FOO: + +* Menu: + +* Foo: Help-FOO. A node you can visit for fun. +* Bar: Help-FOO. We have made two ways to get to the same place. +* Help-FOO:: And yet another! + + (Turn Visible mode on if you are using Emacs.) + +>> Now type just an `m' and see what happens: + + Now you are "inside" an `m' command. Commands cannot be used now; +the next thing you will type must be the name of a subtopic. + + You can change your mind about doing the `m' by typing `Control-g'. + +>> Try that now; notice the bottom line clear. + +>> Then type another `m'. + +>> Now type `BAR', the item name. Do not type <RET> yet. + + While you are typing the item name, you can use the <DEL> (or +<BACKSPACE>) key to cancel one character at a time if you make a +mistake. + +>> Press <DEL> to cancel the `R'. You could type another `R' + to replace it. But you do not have to, since `BA' is a valid + abbreviation. + +>> Now you are ready to go. Type a <RET>. + + After visiting `Help-FOO', you should return here. + + Another way to move to the menu subtopic lines and between them is to +type <TAB>. Each time you type a <TAB>, you move to the next subtopic +line. To move to a previous subtopic line, type `M-<TAB>'--that is, +press and hold the <META> key and then press <TAB>. (On some +keyboards, the <META> key might be labeled `Alt'.) + + Once you move cursor to a subtopic line, press <RET> to go to that +subtopic's node. + + If your terminal supports a mouse, you have yet another way of going +to a subtopic. Move your mouse pointer to the subtopic line, somewhere +between the beginning `*' and the colon `:' which ends the subtopic's +brief name. You will see the subtopic's name change its appearance +(usually, its background color will change), and the shape of the mouse +pointer will change if your platform supports that. After a while, if +you leave the mouse on that spot, a small window will pop up, saying +"Mouse-2: go to that node", or the same message may appear at the +bottom of the screen. + + `Mouse-2' is the second button of your mouse counting from the +left--the middle button on a 3-button mouse. (On a 2-button mouse, you +may have to press both buttons together to "press the middle button".) +The message tells you pressing `Mouse-2' with the current position of +the mouse pointer (on subtopic in the menu) will go to that subtopic. + + More generally, `Mouse-2' in an Info buffer finds the nearest link to +another node and goes there. For example, near a cross reference it +acts like `f', in a menu it acts like `m', on the node's header line it +acts like `n', `p', or `u', etc. At end of the node's text `Mouse-2' +moves to the next node, or up if there's no next node. + +>> Type `n' to see more commands. + + +File: info.info, Node: Help-FOO, Up: Help-M + +1.6.1 The `u' command +--------------------- + +Congratulations! This is the node `Help-FOO'. It has an `Up' pointer +`Help-M', the node you just came from via the `m' command. This is the +usual convention--the nodes you reach from a menu have `Up' nodes that +lead back to the menu. Menus move Down in the tree, and `Up' moves Up. +`Previous', on the other hand, is usually used to "stay on the same +level but go backwards". + + You can go back to the node `Help-M' by typing the command `u' for +"Up" (the Emacs command run by `u' is `Info-up'). That puts you at the +_front_ of the node--to get back to where you were reading you have to +type some <SPC>s. (Some Info readers, such as the one built into +Emacs, put you at the same place where you were reading in `Help-M'.) + + Another way to go Up is to click `Mouse-2' on the `Up' pointer shown +in the header line (provided that you have a mouse). + +>> Now type `u' to move back up to `Help-M'. + + +File: info.info, Node: Help-Xref, Next: Help-Int, Prev: Help-M, Up: Getting Started + +1.7 Following Cross-References +============================== + +In Info documentation, you will see many "cross references". Cross +references look like this: *Note Cross: Help-Cross. That text is a +real, live cross reference, whose name is `Cross' and which points to +the node named `Help-Cross'. (The node name is hidden in Emacs. Do +`M-x visible-mode' to show or hide it.) + + There are two ways to follow a cross reference. You can move the +cursor to it and press <RET>, just as in a menu. <RET> follows the +cross reference that the cursor is on. Or you can type `f' and then +specify the name of the cross reference (in this case, `Cross') as an +argument. In Emacs Info, `f' runs `Info-follow-reference', + + In the `f' command, you select the cross reference with its name, so +it does not matter where the cursor was. If the cursor is on or near a +cross reference, `f' suggests that reference name in parentheses as the +default; typing <RET> will follow that reference. However, if you type +a different reference name, `f' will follow the other reference which +has that name. + +>> Type `f', followed by `Cross', and then <RET>. + + As you enter the reference name, you can use the <DEL> (or +<BACKSPACE>) key to edit your input. If you change your mind about +following any reference, you can use `Control-g' to cancel the command. +Completion is available in the `f' command; you can complete among all +the cross reference names in the current node by typing a <TAB>. + + To get a list of all the cross references in the current node, you +can type `?' after an `f'. The `f' continues to await a cross +reference name even after displaying the list, so if you don't actually +want to follow a reference, you should type a `Control-g' to cancel the +`f'. + +>> Type `f?' to get a list of the cross references in this node. Then + type a `Control-g' and see how the `f' gives up. + + The <TAB> and `M-<TAB>' key, which move between menu items in a menu, +also move between cross references outside of menus. + + Sometimes a cross reference (or a node) can lead to another file (in +other words another "manual"), or, on occasion, even a file on a remote +machine (although Info files distributed with Emacs or the stand-alone +Info avoid using remote links). Such a cross reference looks like +this: *Note Overview of Texinfo: (texinfo)Top. (After following this +link, type `l' to get back to this node.) Here the name `texinfo' +between parentheses (shown in the stand-alone version) refers to the +file name. This file name appears in cross references and node names +if it differs from the current file. In Emacs, the file name is hidden +(along with other text). (Use `M-x visible-mode' to show or hide it.) + + The remainder of this node applies only to the Emacs version. If you +use the stand-alone version, you can type `n' immediately. + + To some users, switching manuals is a much bigger switch than +switching sections. These users like to know that they are going to be +switching to another manual (and which one) before actually doing so, +especially given that, if one does not notice, Info commands like `t' +(see the next node) can have confusing results. + + If you put your mouse over the cross reference and if the cross +reference leads to a different manual, then the information appearing +in a separate box (tool tip) or in the echo area, will mention the file +the cross reference will carry you to (between parentheses). This is +also true for menu subtopic names. If you have a mouse, just leave it +over the `Overview' cross reference above and watch what happens. + + If you always like to have that information available without having +to move your mouse over the cross reference, set +`Info-hide-note-references' to a value other than t (*note Emacs Info +Variables::). You might also want to do that if you have a lot of +cross references to files on remote machines and have non-permanent or +slow access, since otherwise you might not be able to distinguish +between local and remote links. + +>> Now type `n' to learn more commands. + + +File: info.info, Node: Help-Int, Next: Help-Q, Prev: Help-Xref, Up: Getting Started + +1.8 Some intermediate Info commands +=================================== + +The introductory course is almost over; please continue a little longer +to learn some intermediate-level commands. + + Most Info files have an index, which is actually a large node +containing little but a menu. The menu has one menu item for each +topic listed in the index. (As a special feature, menus for indices +may also include the line number within the node of the index entry. +This allows Info readers to go to the exact line of an entry, not just +the start of the containing node.) + + You can get to the index from the main menu of the file with the `m' +command; then you can use the `m' command again in the index node to go +to the node that describes the topic you want. + + There is also a short-cut Info command, `i', which does all of that +for you. It searches the index for a given topic (a string) and goes +to the node which is listed in the index for that topic. *Note Info +Search::, for a full explanation. + + If you have been moving around to different nodes and wish to retrace +your steps, the `l' command (`l' for "last") will do that, one +node-step at a time. As you move from node to node, Info records the +nodes where you have been in a special history list. The `l' command +revisits nodes in the history list; each successive `l' command moves +one step back through the history. + + In Emacs, `l' runs the command `Info-last'. + +>> Try typing `p p n' and then three `l''s, pausing in between +to see what each `l' does. You should wind up right back here. + + Note the difference between `l' and `p': `l' moves to where _you_ +last were, whereas `p' always moves to the node which the header says +is the `Previous' node (from this node, the `Prev' link leads to +`Help-Xref'). + + The `d' command (`Info-directory' in Emacs) gets you instantly to the +Directory node. This node, which is the first one you saw when you +entered Info, has a menu which leads (directly or indirectly, through +other menus), to all the nodes that exist. The Directory node lists +all the manuals and other Info documents that are, or could be, +installed on your system. + +>> Try doing a `d', then do an `l' to return here (yes, + _do_ return). + + The `t' command moves to the `Top' node of the manual. This is +useful if you want to browse the manual's main menu, or select some +specific top-level menu item. The Emacs command run by `t' is +`Info-top-node'. + + Clicking `Mouse-2' on or near a cross reference also follows the +reference. You can see that the cross reference is mouse-sensitive by +moving the mouse pointer to the reference and watching how the +underlying text and the mouse pointer change in response. + +>> Now type `n' to see the last node of the course. + + *Note Expert Info::, for more advanced Info features. + + +File: info.info, Node: Expert Info, Next: Creating an Info File, Prev: Getting Started, Up: Top + +2 Info for Experts +****************** + +This chapter describes various Info commands for experts. (If you are +using a stand-alone Info reader, there are additional commands specific +to it, which are documented in several chapters of *Note GNU Info: +(info-stnd)Top.) + + This chapter also explains how to write an Info as distinct from a +Texinfo file. (However, in most cases, writing a Texinfo file is +better, since you can use it to make a printed manual or produce other +formats, such as HTML and DocBook, as well as for generating Info +files.) *Note Overview of Texinfo: (texinfo)Top. + +* Menu: + +* Advanced:: Advanced Info commands: g, e, and 1 - 9. +* Info Search:: How to search Info documents for specific subjects. +* Add:: Describes how to add new nodes to the hierarchy. + Also tells what nodes look like. +* Menus:: How to add to or create menus in Info nodes. +* Cross-refs:: How to add cross-references to Info nodes. +* Tags:: How to make tags tables for Info files. +* Checking:: Checking an Info File +* Emacs Info Variables:: Variables modifying the behavior of Emacs Info. + + +File: info.info, Node: Advanced, Next: Info Search, Up: Expert Info + +2.1 Advanced Info Commands +========================== + +Here are some more Info commands that make it easier to move around. + +`g' goes to a node by name +-------------------------- + +If you know a node's name, you can go there by typing `g', the name, +and <RET>. Thus, `gTop<RET>' would go to the node called `Top' in this +file. (This is equivalent to `t', see *Note Help-Int::.) +`gAdvanced<RET>' would come back here. `g' in Emacs runs the command +`Info-goto-node'. + + Unlike `m', `g' does not allow the use of abbreviations. But it does +allow completion, so you can type <TAB> to complete a partial node name. + + To go to a node in another file, you can include the file name in the +node name by putting it at the front, in parentheses. Thus, +`g(dir)Top<RET>' would go to the Info Directory node, which is the node +`Top' in the Info file `dir'. Likewise, `g(emacs)Top<RET>' goes to the +top node of the Emacs manual. + + The node name `*' specifies the whole file. So you can look at all +of the current file by typing `g*<RET>' or all of any other file with +`g(FILENAME)<RET>'. + +`1' - `9' choose a menu subtopic by its number +---------------------------------------------- + +If you begrudge each character of type-in which your system requires, +you might like to use the commands `1', `2', `3', `4', ..., `9'. They +are short for the `m' command together with a name of a menu subtopic. +`1' goes through the first item in the current node's menu; `2' goes +through the second item, etc. In the stand-alone reader, `0' goes +through the last menu item; this is so you need not count how many +entries are there. In Emacs, the digit keys run the command +`Info-nth-menu-item'. + + If your display supports multiple fonts, colors or underlining, and +you are using Emacs' Info mode to read Info files, the third, sixth and +ninth menu items have a `*' that stands out, either in color or in some +other attribute, such as underline; this makes it easy to see at a +glance which number to use for an item. + + Some terminals don't support either multiple fonts, colors or +underlining. If you need to actually count items, it is better to use +`m' instead, and specify the name, or use <TAB> to quickly move between +menu items. + +`e' makes Info document editable +-------------------------------- + +The Info command `e' changes from Info mode to an ordinary Emacs +editing mode, so that you can edit the text of the current node. Type +`C-c C-c' to switch back to Info. The `e' command is allowed only if +the variable `Info-enable-edit' is non-`nil'. + + The `e' command only works in Emacs, where it runs the command +`Info-edit'. The stand-alone Info reader doesn't allow you to edit the +Info file, so typing `e' there goes to the end of the current node. + +`M-n' creates a new independent Info buffer in Emacs +---------------------------------------------------- + +If you are reading Info in Emacs, you can select a new independent Info +buffer in another window by typing `M-n'. The new buffer starts out as +an exact copy of the old one, but you will be able to move +independently between nodes in the two buffers. (In Info mode, `M-n' +runs the Emacs command `clone-buffer'.) + + In Emacs Info, you can also produce new Info buffers by giving a +numeric prefix argument to the `m' and `g' commands. `C-u m' and `C-u +g' go to a new node in exactly the same way that `m' and `g' do, but +they do so in a new Info buffer which they select in another window. + + +File: info.info, Node: Info Search, Next: Add, Prev: Advanced, Up: Expert Info + +2.2 How to search Info documents for specific subjects +====================================================== + +The commands which move between and inside nodes allow you to read the +entire manual or its large portions. But what if you need to find some +information in the manual as fast as you can, and you don't know or +don't remember in what node to look for it? This need arises when you +use a manual as a "reference", or when it is impractical to read the +entire manual before you start using the programs it describes. + + Info has powerful searching facilities that let you find things +quickly. You can search either the manual indices or its text. + + Since most subjects related to what the manual describes should be +indexed, you should try the index search first. The `i' command +prompts you for a subject and then looks up that subject in the +indices. If it finds an index entry with the subject you typed, it +goes to the node to which that index entry points. You should browse +through that node to see whether the issue you are looking for is +described there. If it isn't, type `,' one or more times to go through +additional index entries which match your subject. + + The `i' command finds all index entries which include the string you +typed _as a substring_. For each match, Info shows in the echo area +the full index entry it found. Often, the text of the full index entry +already gives you enough information to decide whether it is relevant +to what you are looking for, so we recommend that you read what Emacs +shows in the echo area before looking at the node it displays. + + Since `i' looks for a substring, you can search for subjects even if +you are not sure how they are spelled in the index. For example, +suppose you want to find something that is pertinent to commands which +complete partial input (e.g., when you type <TAB>). If you want to +catch index entries that refer to "complete", "completion", and +"completing", you could type `icomplet<RET>'. + + Info documents which describe programs should index the commands, +options, and key sequences that the program provides. If you are +looking for a description of a command, an option, or a key, just type +their names when `i' prompts you for a topic. For example, if you want +to read the description of what the `C-f' key does, type `i C - f +<RET>'. Here `C-f' are 3 literal characters `C', `-', and `f', not the +"Control-f" command key you type inside Emacs to run the command bound +to `C-f'. + + In Emacs, `i' runs the command `Info-index'. + + If you don't know what manual documents something, try the `M-x +info-apropos' command. It prompts for a string and then looks up that +string in all the indices of all the Info documents installed on your +system. + + The `s' command allows you to search a whole file for a string. It +switches to the next node if and when that is necessary. You type `s' +followed by the string to search for, terminated by <RET>. To search +for the same string again, just `s' followed by <RET> will do. The +file's nodes are scanned in the order they are in in the file, which +has no necessary relationship to the order that they may be in the tree +structure of menus and `next' pointers. But normally the two orders +are not very different. In any case, you can always do a `b' to find +out what node you have reached, if the header is not visible (this can +happen, because `s' puts your cursor at the occurrence of the string, +not at the beginning of the node). + + In Emacs, `Meta-s' is equivalent to `s'. That is for compatibility +with other GNU packages that use `M-s' for a similar kind of search +command. Both `s' and `M-s' run in Emacs the command `Info-search'. + + +File: info.info, Node: Add, Next: Menus, Prev: Info Search, Up: Expert Info + +2.3 Adding a new node to Info +============================= + +To add a new topic to the list in the Info directory, you must: + + 1. Create some nodes, in some file, to document that topic. + + 2. Put that topic in the menu in the directory. *Note Menu: Menus. + + Usually, the way to create the nodes is with Texinfo (*note Overview +of Texinfo: (texinfo)Top.); this has the advantage that you can also +make a printed manual or HTML from them. You would use the +`@dircategory' and `@direntry' commands to put the manual into the Info +directory. However, if you want to edit an Info file manually and +install it manually, here is how. + + The new node can live in an existing documentation file, or in a new +one. It must have a `^_' character before it (invisible to the user; +this node has one but you cannot see it), and it ends with either a +`^_', a `^L' ("formfeed"), or the end of file.(1) + + The `^_' starting a node must be followed by a newline or a `^L' +newline, after which comes the node's header line. The header line +must give the node's name (by which Info finds it), and state the names +of the `Next', `Previous', and `Up' nodes (if there are any). As you +can see, this node's `Up' node is the node `Expert Info'. The `Next' +node is `Menus'. + + The keywords "Node", "Next", "Previous", and "Up" may appear in any +order, anywhere in the header line, but the recommended order is the +one in this sentence. Each keyword must be followed by a colon, spaces +and tabs, and then the appropriate name. The name may be terminated +with a tab, a comma, or a newline. A space does not end it; node names +may contain spaces. The case of letters in the names is insignificant. + + A node name has two forms. A node in the current file is named by +what appears after the `Node: ' in that node's first line. For +example, this node's name is `Add'. A node in another file is named by +`(FILENAME)NODE-WITHIN-FILE', as in `(info)Add' for this node. If the +file name starts with "./", then it is relative to the current +directory; otherwise, it is relative starting from the standard +directory for Info files of your site. The name `(FILENAME)Top' can be +abbreviated to just `(FILENAME)'. By convention, the name `Top' is used +for the "highest" node in any single file--the node whose `Up' points +out of the file. The `Directory' node is `(dir)', it points to a file +`dir' which holds a large menu listing all the Info documents installed +on your site. The `Top' node of a document file listed in the +`Directory' should have an `Up: (dir)' in it. + + The node name `*' is special: it refers to the entire file. Thus, +`g*' shows you the whole current file. The use of the node `*' is to +make it possible to make old-fashioned, unstructured files into nodes +of the tree. + + The `Node:' name, in which a node states its own name, must not +contain a file name, since when Info searches for a node, it does not +expect a file name to be there. The `Next', `Previous' and `Up' names +may contain them. In this node, since the `Up' node is in the same +file, it was not necessary to use one. + + Note that the nodes in this file have a file name in the header line. +The file names are ignored by Info, but they serve as comments to help +identify the node for the user. + + ---------- Footnotes ---------- + + (1) If you put in a `^L' to end a new node, be sure that there is a +`^_' after it to start the next one, since `^L' cannot _start_ a node. +Also, a nicer way to make a node boundary be a page boundary as well is +to put a `^L' _right after_ the `^_'. + + +File: info.info, Node: Menus, Next: Cross-refs, Prev: Add, Up: Expert Info + +2.4 How to Create Menus +======================= + +Any node in the Info hierarchy may have a "menu"--a list of subnodes. +The `m' command searches the current node's menu for the topic which it +reads from the terminal. + + A menu begins with a line starting with `* Menu:'. The rest of the +line is a comment. After the starting line, every line that begins +with a `* ' lists a single topic. The name of the topic-what the user +must type at the `m''s command prompt to select this topic--comes right +after the star and space, and is followed by a colon, spaces and tabs, +and the name of the node which discusses that topic. The node name, +like node names following `Next', `Previous' and `Up', may be +terminated with a tab, comma, or newline; it may also be terminated +with a period. + + If the node name and topic name are the same, then rather than giving +the name twice, the abbreviation `* NAME::' may be used (and should be +used, whenever possible, as it reduces the visual clutter in the menu). + + It is considerate to choose the topic names so that they differ from +each other very near the beginning--this allows the user to type short +abbreviations. In a long menu, it is a good idea to capitalize the +beginning of each item name which is the minimum acceptable +abbreviation for it (a long menu is more than 5 or so entries). + + The nodes listed in a node's menu are called its "subnodes", and it +is their "superior". They should each have an `Up:' pointing at the +superior. It is often useful to arrange all or most of the subnodes in +a sequence of `Next' and `Previous' pointers so that someone who wants +to see them all need not keep revisiting the Menu. + + The Info Directory is simply the menu of the node `(dir)Top'--that +is, node `Top' in file `.../info/dir'. You can put new entries in that +menu just like any other menu. The Info Directory is _not_ the same as +the file directory called `info'. It happens that many of Info's files +live in that file directory, but they do not have to; and files in that +directory are not automatically listed in the Info Directory node. + + Also, although the Info node graph is claimed to be a "hierarchy", in +fact it can be _any_ directed graph. Shared structures and pointer +cycles are perfectly possible, and can be used if they are appropriate +to the meaning to be expressed. There is no need for all the nodes in +a file to form a connected structure. In fact, this file has two +connected components. You are in one of them, which is under the node +`Top'; the other contains the node `Help' which the `h' command goes +to. In fact, since there is no garbage collector, nothing terrible +happens if a substructure is not pointed to, but such a substructure is +rather useless since nobody can ever find out that it exists. + + +File: info.info, Node: Cross-refs, Next: Tags, Prev: Menus, Up: Expert Info + +2.5 Creating Cross References +============================= + +A cross reference can be placed anywhere in the text, unlike a menu +item which must go at the front of a line. A cross reference looks +like a menu item except that it has `*note' instead of `*'. It +_cannot_ be terminated by a `)', because `)''s are so often part of +node names. If you wish to enclose a cross reference in parentheses, +terminate it with a period first. Here are two examples of cross +references pointers: + + *Note details: commands. (See *note 3: Full Proof.) + +_These are just examples._ The places they "lead to" do not really +exist! + +* Menu: + +* Help-Cross:: Target of a cross-reference. + + +File: info.info, Node: Help-Cross, Up: Cross-refs + +2.5.1 The node reached by the cross reference in Info +----------------------------------------------------- + +This is the node reached by the cross reference named `Cross'. + + While this node is specifically intended to be reached by a cross +reference, most cross references lead to nodes that "belong" someplace +else far away in the structure of an Info document. So you cannot +expect this node to have a `Next', `Previous' or `Up' links pointing +back to where you came from. In general, the `l' (el) command is the +only way to get back there. + +>> Type `l' to return to the node where the cross reference was. + + +File: info.info, Node: Help-Q, Prev: Help-Int, Up: Getting Started + +2.6 Quitting Info +================= + +To get out of Info, back to what you were doing before, type `q' for +"Quit". This runs `Info-exit' in Emacs. + + This is the end of the basic course on using Info. You have learned +how to move in an Info document, and how to follow menus and cross +references. This makes you ready for reading manuals top to bottom, as +new users should do when they learn a new package. + + Another set of Info commands is useful when you need to find +something quickly in a manual--that is, when you need to use a manual +as a reference rather than as a tutorial. We urge you to learn these +search commands as well. If you want to do that now, follow this cross +reference to *Note Info Search::. + + Yet another set of commands are meant for experienced users; you can +find them by looking in the Directory node for documentation on Info. +Finding them will be a good exercise in using Info in the usual manner. + +>> Type `d' to go to the Info directory node; then type + `mInfo' and Return, to get to the node about Info and + see what other help is available. + + +File: info.info, Node: Tags, Next: Checking, Prev: Cross-refs, Up: Expert Info + +2.7 Tags Tables for Info Files +============================== + +You can speed up the access to nodes of a large Info file by giving it +a tags table. Unlike the tags table for a program, the tags table for +an Info file lives inside the file itself and is used automatically +whenever Info reads in the file. + + To make a tags table, go to a node in the file using Emacs Info mode +and type `M-x Info-tagify'. Then you must use `C-x C-s' to save the +file. Info files produced by the `makeinfo' command that is part of +the Texinfo package always have tags tables to begin with. + + Once the Info file has a tags table, you must make certain it is up +to date. If you edit an Info file directly (as opposed to editing its +Texinfo source), and, as a result of deletion of text, any node moves +back more than a thousand characters in the file from the position +recorded in the tags table, Info will no longer be able to find that +node. To update the tags table, use the `Info-tagify' command again. + + An Info file tags table appears at the end of the file and looks like +this: + + ^_^L + Tag Table: + File: info, Node: Cross-refs^?21419 + File: info, Node: Tags^?22145 + ^_ + End Tag Table + +Note that it contains one line per node, and this line contains the +beginning of the node's header (ending just after the node name), a +`DEL' character, and the character position in the file of the +beginning of the node. + + +File: info.info, Node: Checking, Next: Emacs Info Variables, Prev: Tags, Up: Expert Info + +2.8 Checking an Info File +========================= + +When creating an Info file, it is easy to forget the name of a node when +you are making a pointer to it from another node. If you put in the +wrong name for a node, this is not detected until someone tries to go +through the pointer using Info. Verification of the Info file is an +automatic process which checks all pointers to nodes and reports any +pointers which are invalid. Every `Next', `Previous', and `Up' is +checked, as is every menu item and every cross reference. In addition, +any `Next' which does not have a `Previous' pointing back is reported. +Only pointers within the file are checked, because checking pointers to +other files would be terribly slow. But those are usually few. + + To check an Info file, do `M-x Info-validate' while looking at any +node of the file with Emacs Info mode. + + +File: info.info, Node: Emacs Info Variables, Prev: Checking, Up: Expert Info + +2.9 Emacs Info-mode Variables +============================= + +The following variables may modify the behavior of Info-mode in Emacs; +you may wish to set one or several of these variables interactively, or +in your `~/.emacs' init file. *Note Examining and Setting Variables: +(emacs)Examining. The stand-alone Info reader program has its own set +of variables, described in *Note Manipulating Variables: +(info-stnd)Variables. + +`Info-directory-list' + The list of directories to search for Info files. Each element is + a string (directory name) or `nil' (try default directory). If not + initialized Info uses the environment variable `INFOPATH' to + initialize it, or `Info-default-directory-list' if there is no + `INFOPATH' variable in the environment. + + If you wish to customize the Info directory search list for both + Emacs info and stand-alone Info, it is best to set the `INFOPATH' + environment variable, since that applies to both programs. + +`Info-additional-directory-list' + A list of additional directories to search for Info documentation + files. These directories are not searched for merging the `dir' + file. + +`Info-fontify' + When set to a non-`nil' value, enables highlighting of Info files. + The default is `t'. You can change how the highlighting looks by + customizing the faces `info-node', `info-xref', + `info-header-xref', `info-header-node', `info-menu-5', + `info-menu-header', and `info-title-N-face' (where N is the level + of the section, a number between 1 and 4). To customize a face, + type `M-x customize-face <RET> FACE <RET>', where FACE is one of + the face names listed here. + +`Info-use-header-line' + If non-`nil', Emacs puts in the Info buffer a header line showing + the `Next', `Prev', and `Up' links. A header line does not scroll + with the rest of the buffer, making these links always visible. + +`Info-hide-note-references' + As explained in earlier nodes, the Emacs version of Info normally + hides some text in menus and cross-references. You can completely + disable this feature, by setting this option to `nil'. Setting it + to a value that is neither `nil' nor `t' produces an intermediate + behavior, hiding a limited amount of text, but showing all text + that could potentially be useful. + +`Info-scroll-prefer-subnodes' + If set to a non-`nil' value, <SPC> and <BACKSPACE> (or <DEL>) keys + in a menu visit subnodes of the current node before scrolling to + its end or beginning, respectively. For example, if the node's + menu appears on the screen, the next <SPC> moves to a subnode + indicated by the following menu item. Setting this option to + `nil' results in behavior similar to the stand-alone Info reader + program, which visits the first subnode from the menu only when you + hit the end of the current node. The default is `nil'. + +`Info-enable-active-nodes' + When set to a non-`nil' value, allows Info to execute Lisp code + associated with nodes. The Lisp code is executed when the node is + selected. The Lisp code to be executed should follow the node + delimiter (the `DEL' character) and an `execute: ' tag, like this: + + ^_execute: (message "This is an active node!") + +`Info-enable-edit' + Set to `nil', disables the `e' (`Info-edit') command. A non-`nil' + value enables it. *Note Edit: Add. + + +File: info.info, Node: Creating an Info File, Next: Index, Prev: Expert Info, Up: Top + +3 Creating an Info File from a Texinfo File +******************************************* + +`makeinfo' is a utility that converts a Texinfo file into an Info file; +`texinfo-format-region' and `texinfo-format-buffer' are GNU Emacs +functions that do the same. + + *Note Overview of Texinfo: (texinfo)Top, to learn how to write a +Texinfo file. + + *Note Creating an Info File: (texinfo)Creating an Info File, to learn +how to create an Info file from a Texinfo file. + + *Note Installing an Info File: (texinfo)Installing an Info File, to +learn how to install an Info file after you have created one. + + +File: info.info, Node: Index, Prev: Creating an Info File, Up: Top + +Index +***** + +This is an alphabetical listing of all the commands, variables, and +topics discussed in this document. + + +* Menu: + +* 1 through 9 (Info mode): Advanced.
