 TeX Formatting Requirements Summary
 ===================================
 
   Every Texinfo file that is to be input to TeX must begin with a
 `\input' command and must contain an `@setfilename' command:
 
      \input texinfo
      @setfilename ARG-NOT-USED-BY-TEX
 
 The first command instructs TeX to load the macros it needs to process
 a Texinfo file and the second command opens auxiliary files.
 
   Every Texinfo file must end with a line that terminates TeX's
 processing and forces out unfinished pages:
 
      @bye
 
   Strictly speaking, these lines are all a Texinfo file needs to be
 processed successfully by TeX.
 
   Usually, however, the beginning includes an `@settitle' command to
 define the title of the printed manual, an `@setchapternewpage'
 command, a title page, a copyright page, and permissions.  Besides an
 `@bye', the end of a file usually includes indices and a table of
 contents.  (And of course most manuals contain a body of text as well.)
