 Tree Structure of Sections
 ==========================
 
   A Texinfo file is usually structured like a book with chapters,
 sections, subsections, and the like.  This structure can be visualized
 as a tree (or rather as an upside-down tree) with the root at the top
 and the levels corresponding to chapters, sections, subsection, and
 subsubsections.
 
   Here is a diagram that shows a Texinfo file with three chapters, each
 of which has two sections.
 
                                Top
                                 |
               -------------------------------------
              |                  |                  |
           Chapter 1          Chapter 2          Chapter 3
              |                  |                  |
           --------           --------           --------
          |        |         |        |         |        |
       Section  Section   Section  Section   Section  Section
         1.1      1.2       2.1      2.2       3.1      3.2
 
   In a Texinfo file that has this structure, the beginning of Chapter 2
 looks like this:
 
      @node    Chapter 2,  Chapter 3, Chapter 1, top
      @chapter Chapter 2
 
   The chapter structuring commands are described in the sections that
 follow; the `@node' and `@menu' commands are described in following
 chapters. ( Nodes, and see  Menus.)
