Sample File with @include

Here is an example of an outer Texinfo file with @include files within it before running texinfo-multiple-files-update, which would insert a main or master menu:

     \input texinfo @c -*-texinfo-*-
     @setfilename include-example.info
     @settitle Include Example
     
     ... See Sample Texinfo Files, for
     examples of the rest of the frontmatter ...
     
     @ifnottex
     @node Top
     @top Include Example
     @end ifnottex
     
     @include foo.texinfo
     @include bar.texinfo
     @include concept-index.texinfo
     @bye
     

An included file, such as foo.texinfo, might look like this:

     @node First
     @chapter First Chapter
     
     Contents of first chapter ...
     

The full contents of concept-index.texinfo might be as simple as this:

     @node Concept Index
     @unnumbered Concept Index
     
     @printindex cp
     

The outer Texinfo source file for The GNU Emacs Lisp Reference Manual is named elisp.texi. This outer file contains a master menu with 417 entries and a list of 41 @include files.
