 Creating Pointers with `makeinfo'
 =================================
 
   The `makeinfo' program has a feature for automatically defining node
 pointers for a hierarchically organized file.
 
   When you take advantage of this feature, you do not need to write the
 `Next', `Previous', and `Up' pointers after the name of a node.
 However, you must write a sectioning command, such as `@chapter' or
 `@section', on the line immediately following each truncated `@node'
 line (except that comment lines may intervene).
 
   In addition, you must follow the `Top' `@node' line with a line
 beginning with `@top' to mark the `Top' node in the file.  
 `@top' makeinfo top.
 
   Finally, you must write the name of each node (except for the `Top'
 node) in a menu that is one or more hierarchical levels above the
 node's hierarchical level.
 
   This node pointer insertion feature in `makeinfo' relieves you from
 the need to update menus and pointers manually or with Texinfo mode
 commands.  ( Updating Nodes and Menus.)
