(texinfo) First Node

 
 The First Node
 --------------
 
   The first node of a Texinfo file is the "Top" node, except in an
 included file ( Include Files).  The Top node contains the main
 or master menu for the document, and a short summary of the document
 ( Top Node Summary).
 
   The Top node (which must be named `top' or `Top') should have as its
 `Up' node the name of a node in another file, where there is a menu
 that leads to this file.  Specify the file name in parentheses.  If the
 file is to be installed directly in the Info directory file, use
 `(dir)' as the parent of the Top node; this is short for `(dir)top',
 and specifies the Top node in the `dir' file, which contains the main
 menu for the Info system as a whole.  For example, the `@node Top' line
 of this manual looks like this:
 
      @node Top, Copying, , (dir)
 
 (You can use the Texinfo updating commands or the `makeinfo' utility to
 insert these pointers automatically.)
 
   Do not define the `Previous' node of the Top node to be `(dir)', as
 it causes confusing behavior for users: if you are in the Top node and
 hits <DEL> to go backwards, you wind up in the middle of the some other
 entry in the `dir' file, which has nothing to do with what you were
 reading.
 
    Install an Info File, for more information about installing
 an Info file in the `info' directory.
