Sample File with @include

Next: Evolution of Include Files  Prev: Include File Requirements

Here is an example of a complete outer Texinfo file with @include files within it before running texinfo-multiple-files-update, which would insert a main or master menu:

\input texinfo @c -*-texinfo-*-

@setfilename  include-example.info
@settitle Include Example




@setchapternewpage odd
@titlepage
@sp 12
@center @titlefont{Include Example}
@sp 2

@end titlepage



@ifinfo
@node Top, First, , (dir)
@top Master Menu
@end ifinfo



@include foo.texinfo
@include bar.texinfo
@include concept-index.texinfo



@summarycontents
@contents

@bye
An included file, such as `foo.texinfo', might look like this:

@node First, Second, , Top
@chapter First Chapter

Contents of first chapter ...
The full contents of `concept-index.texinfo' might be as simple as this:

@node Concept Index, , Second, Top
@unnumbered Concept Index

@printindex cp
The outer Texinfo source file for The GNU Emacs Lisp Reference Manual is named `elisp.texi'. This outer file contains a master menu with 417 entries and a list of 41 @include files.
