<p>Here is an example of an outer Texinfo file with <code>@include</code> files
within it before running <code>texinfo-multiple-files-update</code>, which
would insert a main or master menu:
</p>
<div class="example">
<pre class="example">\input texinfo @c -*-texinfo-*-
@settitle Include Example
</pre><pre class="example">
... See <a href="Sample-Texinfo-Files.html">Sample Texinfo Files</a>, for
examples of the rest of the frontmatter ...
</pre><pre class="example">@ifnottex
@node Top
@top Include Example
@end ifnottex
</pre><pre class="example">
</pre><pre class="example">@include foo.texinfo
@include bar.texinfo
@include concept-index.texinfo
@bye
</pre></div>
<p>An included file, such as <samp>foo.texinfo</samp>, might look like this:
</p>
<div class="example">
<pre class="example">@node First
@chapter First Chapter
Contents of first chapter …
</pre></div>
<p>The full contents of <samp>concept-index.texinfo</samp> might be as simple as this:
</p>
<div class="example">
<pre class="example">@node Concept Index
@unnumbered Concept Index
@printindex cp
</pre></div>
<p>The outer Texinfo source file for <cite>The GNU Emacs Lisp Reference
Manual</cite> is named <samp>elisp.texi</samp>. This outer file contains a master
menu with 417 entries and a list of 41 <code>@include</code>
files.
