<a name="index-Beginning-a-Texinfo-file"></a>
<a name="index-Texinfo-file-beginning"></a>
<a name="index-File-beginning"></a>
<p>Certain pieces of information must be provided at the beginning of a
Texinfo file, such as the name for the output file(s), the title of the
document, and the Top node. A table of contents is also generally
produced here.
</p>
<p>This chapter expands on the minimal complete Texinfo source file
previously given (see <a href="Six-Parts.html#Six-Parts">Six Parts</a>). It describes the numerous
commands for handling the traditional frontmatter items in Texinfo.
</p>
<a name="index-Frontmatter_002c-text-in"></a>
<p>Straight text outside of any command before the Top node should be
avoided. Such text is treated differently in the different output
formats: at the time of writing, it is visible in TeX and HTML, by
default not shown in Info readers, and so on.
