 `@raisesections' and `@lowersections'
 =====================================
 
   The `@raisesections' and `@lowersections' commands raise and lower
 the hierarchical level of chapters, sections, subsections and the like.
 The `@raisesections' command changes sections to chapters, subsections
 to sections, and so on.  The `@lowersections' command changes chapters
 to sections, sections to subsections, and so on.
 
   An `@lowersections' command is useful if you wish to include text
 that is written as an outer or standalone Texinfo file in another
 Texinfo file as an inner, included file.  If you write the command at
 the beginning of the file, all your `@chapter' commands are formatted
 as if they were `@section' commands, all your `@section' command are
 formatted as if they were `@subsection' commands, and so on.
 
   `@raisesections' raises a command one level in the chapter
 structuring hierarchy:
 
        Change           To
      
      @subsection     @section,
      @section        @chapter,
      @heading        @chapheading,
                etc.
 
   `@lowersections' lowers a command one level in the chapter
 structuring hierarchy:
 
        Change           To
      
      @chapter        @section,
      @subsection     @subsubsection,
      @heading        @subheading,
                etc.
 
   An `@raisesections' or `@lowersections' command changes only those
 structuring commands that follow the command in the Texinfo file.
 Write an `@raisesections' or `@lowersections' command on a line of its
 own.
 
   An `@lowersections' command cancels an `@raisesections' command, and
 vice versa.  Typically, the commands are used like this:
 
      @lowersections
      @include somefile.texi
      @raisesections
 
   Without the `@raisesections', all the subsequent sections in your
 document will be lowered.
 
   Repeated use of the commands continue to raise or lower the
 hierarchical level a step at a time.
 
   An attempt to raise above `chapters' reproduces chapter commands; an
 attempt to lower below `subsubsections' reproduces subsubsection
 commands.
