<h3 class="section">7.6 Referring to Other Info Files</h3>

<p><a name="index-Referring-to-other-Info-files-359"></a><a name="index-Nodes-in-other-Info-files-360"></a><a name="index-Other-Info-files_0027-nodes-361"></a><a name="index-Going-to-other-Info-files_0027-nodes-362"></a><a name="index-Info_003b-other-files_0027-nodes-363"></a>
You can create a menu entry that enables a reader in Info to go to a
node in another Info file by writing the file name in parentheses just
before the node name.  In this case, you should use the three-part menu
entry format, which saves the reader from having to type the file
name.

  <p>The format looks like this:

<pre class="example">     @menu
     * <var>first-entry-name</var>:(<var>filename</var>)<var>nodename</var>.     <var>description</var>
     * <var>second-entry-name</var>:(<var>filename</var>)<var>second-node</var>. <var>description</var>
     @end menu
</pre>
  <p>For example, to refer directly to the &lsquo;<samp><span class="samp">Outlining</span></samp>&rsquo; and
&lsquo;<samp><span class="samp">Rebinding</span></samp>&rsquo; nodes in the <cite>Emacs Manual</cite>, you would write a
menu like this:

<pre class="example">     @menu
     * Outlining: (emacs)Outline Mode. The major mode for
                                      editing outlines.
     * Rebinding: (emacs)Rebinding.    How to redefine the
                                      meaning of a key.
     @end menu
</pre>
  <p>If you do not list the node name, but only name the file, then Info
presumes that you are referring to the `Top' node.

  <p>The <samp><span class="file">dir</span></samp> file that contains the main menu for Info has menu
entries that list only file names.  These take you directly to the `Top'
nodes of each Info document.  (See <a href="Installing-an-Info-File.html#Installing-an-Info-File">Installing an Info File</a>.)

  <p>For example:

<pre class="example">     * Info: (info).         Documentation browsing system.
     * Emacs: (emacs).       The extensible, self-documenting
                            text editor.
</pre>
  <p class="noindent">(The <samp><span class="file">dir</span></samp> top level directory for the Info system is an Info file,
not a Texinfo file, but a menu entry looks the same in both types of
file.)

  <p>The GNU Emacs Texinfo mode menu updating commands only work with nodes
within the current buffer, so you cannot use them to create menus that
refer to other files.  You must write such menus by hand.
