<h3 class="section">2.1 Texinfo Mode Overview</h3>

<p>Texinfo mode provides special features for working with Texinfo files.
You can:
</p>
<ul>
<li> Insert frequently used @-commands.

</li><li> Automatically create <code>@node</code> lines.

</li><li> Show the structure of a Texinfo source file.

</li><li> Automatically create or update the &lsquo;Next&rsquo;,
&lsquo;Previous&rsquo;, and &lsquo;Up&rsquo; pointers of a node.

</li><li> Automatically create or update menus.

</li><li> Automatically create a master menu.

</li><li> Format a part or all of a file for Info.

</li><li> Typeset and print part or all of a file.
</li></ul>

<p>Perhaps the two most helpful features are those for inserting frequently
used @-commands and for creating node pointers and menus.
