<span id="Texinfo-Mode-Summary-1"></span><h3 class="section">D.8 Texinfo Mode Summary</h3>
<p>In Texinfo mode, each set of commands has default keybindings that
begin with the same keys. All the commands that are custom-created
for Texinfo mode begin with <kbd>C-c</kbd>. The keys are somewhat
mnemonic.
</p>
<span id="Insert-Commands"></span><h4 class="subheading">Insert Commands</h4>
<p>The insert commands are invoked by typing <kbd>C-c</kbd> twice and then the
first letter of the @-command to be inserted. (It might make more
sense mnemonically to use <kbd>C-c C-i</kbd>, for ‘custom insert’, but
<kbd>C-c C-c</kbd> is quick to type.)
</p>
<div class="example">
<pre class="example">C-c C-c c <span class="roman">Insert</span> ‘<samp>@code</samp>’.
C-c C-c d <span class="roman">Insert</span> ‘<samp>@dfn</samp>’.
C-c C-c e <span class="roman">Insert</span> ‘<samp>@end</samp>’.
C-c C-c i <span class="roman">Insert</span> ‘<samp>@item</samp>’.
C-c C-c n <span class="roman">Insert</span> ‘<samp>@node</samp>’.
C-c C-c s <span class="roman">Insert</span> ‘<samp>@samp</samp>’.
C-c C-c v <span class="roman">Insert</span> ‘<samp>@var</samp>’.
C-c { <span class="roman">Insert braces.</span>
C-c ]
C-c } <span class="roman">Move out of enclosing braces.</span>
</pre><pre class="example">C-c C-c C-d <span class="roman">Insert a node’s section title</span>
<span class="roman">in the space for the description</span>
<span class="roman">in a menu entry line.</span>
</pre></div>
<span id="Show-Structure"></span><h4 class="subheading">Show Structure</h4>
<p>The <code>texinfo-show-structure</code> command is often used within a
narrowed region.

</pre></div>
<span id="The-Master-Update-Command"></span><h4 class="subheading">The Master Update Command</h4>
<p>The <code>texinfo-master-menu</code> command creates a master menu; and can
be used to update every node and menu in a file as well.
</p>
<div class="example">
<pre class="example">C-c C-u m
M-x texinfo-master-menu
<span class="roman">Create or update a master menu.</span>

<span class="roman">menus, and then create a master menu.</span>
</pre></div>
<span id="Update-Pointers"></span><h4 class="subheading">Update Pointers</h4>
<p>The update pointer commands are invoked by typing <kbd>C-c C-u</kbd> and
then either <kbd>C-n</kbd> for <code>texinfo-update-node</code> or <kbd>C-e</kbd> for
<code>texinfo-every-node-update</code>.
</p>
<div class="example">
<pre class="example">C-c C-u C-n <span class="roman">Update a node.</span>

<span id="Update-Menus"></span><h4 class="subheading">Update Menus</h4>
<p>Invoke the update menu commands by typing <kbd>C-c C-u</kbd>
and then either <kbd>C-m</kbd> for <code>texinfo-make-menu</code> or
<kbd>C-a</kbd> for <code>texinfo-all-menus-update</code>. To update
both nodes and menus at the same time, precede <kbd>C-c C-u
C-a</kbd> with <kbd>C-u</kbd>.
</p>
<div class="example">
<pre class="example">C-c C-u C-m <span class="roman">Make or update a menu.</span>

</pre></div>
<span id="Format-for-Info"></span><h4 class="subheading">Format for Info</h4>
<p>The Info formatting commands that are written in Emacs Lisp are
invoked by typing <kbd>C-c C-e</kbd> and then either <kbd>C-r</kbd> for a region
or <kbd>C-b</kbd> for the whole buffer.
</p>
<p>The Info formatting commands that are written in C and based on the
<code>makeinfo</code> program are invoked by typing <kbd>C-c C-m</kbd> and then
either <kbd>C-r</kbd> for a region or <kbd>C-b</kbd> for the whole buffer.
</p>
<p>Use the <code>texinfo-format…</code> commands:
</p>
<div class="example">
<pre class="example">C-c C-e C-r <span class="roman">Format the region.</span>
C-c C-e C-b <span class="roman">Format the buffer.</span>
</pre></div>
<p>Use <code>makeinfo</code>:
</p>
<div class="example">
<pre class="example">C-c C-m C-r <span class="roman">Format the region.</span>
C-c C-m C-b <span class="roman">Format the buffer.</span>
C-c C-m C-l <span class="roman">Recenter the <code>makeinfo</code> output buffer.</span>
C-c C-m C-k <span class="roman">Kill the <code>makeinfo</code> formatting job.</span>
</pre></div>
<span id="Typeset-and-Print"></span><h4 class="subheading">Typeset and Print</h4>
<p>The TeX typesetting and printing commands are invoked by typing
<kbd>C-c C-t</kbd> and then another control command: <kbd>C-r</kbd> for
<code>texinfo-tex-region</code>, <kbd>C-b</kbd> for <code>texinfo-tex-buffer</code>,
and so on.
</p>
<div class="example">
<pre class="example">C-c C-t C-r <span class="roman">Run TeX on the region.</span>
C-c C-t C-b <span class="roman">Run</span> <code>texi2dvi</code> <span class="roman">on the buffer.</span>

C-c C-t C-l <span class="roman">Recenter the output buffer.</span>
</pre></div>
<span id="Other-Updating-Commands-2"></span><h4 class="subheading">Other Updating Commands</h4>
<p>The remaining updating commands do not have standard keybindings because
they are rarely used.
</p>
<div class="example">
<pre class="example">M-x texinfo-insert-node-lines
<span class="roman">Insert missing <code>@node</code> lines in region.</span>
