 Texinfo File Header
 ===================
 
   Texinfo files start with at least three lines that provide Info and
 TeX with necessary information.  These are the `\input texinfo' line,
 the `@settitle' line, and the `@setfilename' line.
 
   Also, if you want to format just part of the Texinfo file, you must
 write the `@settitle' and `@setfilename' lines between start-of-header
 and end-of-header lines.  The start- and end-of-header lines are
 optional, but they do no harm, so you might as well always include them.
 
   Any command that affects document formatting as a whole makes sense to
 include in the header.  `@synindex' ( synindex), for instance,
 is another command often included in the header.   GNU Sample
 Texts, for complete sample texts.
 
   Thus, the beginning of a Texinfo file generally looks like this:
 
      \input texinfo   @c -*-texinfo-*-
      @c %**start of header
      @setfilename sample.info
      @settitle Sample Manual 1.0
      @c %**end of header
