 Defining New Texinfo Commands
 *****************************
 
   Texinfo provides several ways to define new commands:
 
    * A Texinfo "macro" allows you to define a new Texinfo command as any
      sequence of text and/or existing commands (including other
      macros).  The macro can have any number of "parameters"--text you
      supply each time you use the macro.
 
      Incidentally, these macros have nothing to do with the `@defmac'
      command, which is for documenting macros in the subject of the
      manual ( Def Cmd Template).
 
    * `@alias' is a convenient way to define a new name for an existing
      command.
 
    * `@definfoenclose' allows you to define new commands with
      customized output in the Info file.
