<h4 class="subsection">3.3.2 <code>@insertcopying</code>: Include Permissions Text</h4>

<p><a name="index-insertcopying-185"></a><a name="index-Copying-text_002c-including-186"></a><a name="index-Permissions-text_002c-including-187"></a><a name="index-Including-permissions-text-188"></a>
The <code>@insertcopying</code> command is simply written on a line by
itself, like this:

<pre class="example">     @insertcopying
</pre>
  <p>This inserts the text previously defined by <code>@copying</code>.  To meet
legal requirements, it must be used on the copyright page in the printed
manual (see <a href="Copyright.html#Copyright">Copyright</a>).

  <p>The <code>@copying</code> command itself causes the permissions text to
appear in an Info file <em>before</em> the first node.  The text is also
copied into the beginning of each split Info output file, as is legally
necessary.  This location implies a human reading the manual using Info
does <em>not</em> see this text (except when using the advanced Info
command <kbd>g *</kbd>), but this does not matter for legal purposes,
because the text is present.

  <p>Similarly, the <code>@copying</code> text is automatically included at the
beginning of each HTML output file, as an HTML comment.  Again, this
text is not visible (unless the reader views the HTML source).

  <p>The permissions text defined by <code>@copying</code> also appears
automatically at the beginning of the XML output file.
