<p>Use the <code>@cite</code> command for the name of a book that lacks a
companion Info file. The command produces italics in the printed
manual, and quotation marks in the Info file.
</p>
<p>If a book is written in Texinfo, it is better to use a cross-reference
command since a reader can easily follow such a reference in Info.
See <a href="_0040xref.html"><code>@xref</code></a>.
