You can tell TeX to continue running and ignore just this error by - typing RET at the `?' prompt. - - 2. You can tell TeX to continue running and to ignore all errors as - best it can by typing `r RET' at the `?' prompt. - - This is often the best thing to do. However, beware: the one error - may produce a cascade of additional error messages as its - consequences are felt through the rest of the file. (To stop TeX - when it is producing such an avalanche of error messages, type - `C-d' (or `C-c C-d', if you are running a shell inside Emacs - Version 18.)) - - 3. You can tell TeX to stop this run by typing `x RET' at the `?' - prompt. - - Please note that if you are running TeX inside Emacs, you need to -switch to the shell buffer and line at which TeX offers the `?' prompt. - - Sometimes TeX will format a file without producing error messages -even though there is a problem. This usually occurs if a command is -not ended but TeX is able to continue processing anyhow. For example, -if you fail to end an itemized list with the `@end itemize' command, -TeX will write a DVI file that you can print out. The only error -message that TeX will give you is the somewhat mysterious comment that - - (@end occurred inside a group at level 1) - -However, if you print the DVI file, you will find that the text of the -file that follows the itemized list is entirely indented as if it were -part of the last item in the itemized list. The error message is the -way TeX says that it expected to find an `@end' command somewhere in -the file; but that it could not determine where it was needed. - - Another source of notoriously hard-to-find errors is a missing `@end -group' command. If you ever are stumped by incomprehensible errors, -look for a missing `@end group' command first. - - If the Texinfo file lacks header lines, TeX may stop in the -beginning of its run and display output that looks like the following. -The `*' indicates that TeX is waiting for input. - - This is TeX, Version 2.0 for Berkeley UNIX - (preloaded format=plain-cm 87.10.25) - (test.texinfo [1]) - * - -In this case, simply type `\end RET' after the asterisk. Then write -the header lines in the Texinfo file and run the TeX command again. -(Note the use of the backslash, `\'. TeX uses `\' instead of `@'; and -in this circumstance, you are working directly with TeX, not with -Texinfo.) - - -File: texi.info, Node: Using texinfo-show-structure, Next: Using occur, Prev: Debugging with TeX, Up: Catching Mistakes - -Using `texinfo-show-structure' -============================== - - It is not always easy to keep track of the nodes, chapters, -sections, and subsections of a Texinfo file. This is especially true -if you are revising or adding to a Texinfo file that someone else has -written. - - In GNU Emacs, in Texinfo mode, the `texinfo-show-structure' command -lists all the lines that begin with the @-commands that specify the -structure: `@chapter', `@section', `@appendix', and so on. With an -argument (`C-u' as prefix argument, if interactive), the command also -shows the `@node' lines. The `texinfo-show-structure' command is bound -to `C-c C-s' in Texinfo mode, by default. - - The lines are displayed in a buffer called the `*Occur*' buffer. -For example, when `texinfo-show-structure' was run on an earlier -version of this appendix, it produced the following: - - Lines matching "^@\\(chapter \\|sect\\|sub\\|unnum\\|major\\| - heading \\|appendix\\)" in buffer texinfo.texi. - 4:@appendix Formatting Mistakes - 52:@appendixsec Catching Errors with Info Formatting - 222:@appendixsec Catching Errors with @TeX{} Formatting - 338:@appendixsec Using @code{texinfo-show-structure} - 407:@appendixsubsec Using @code{occur} - 444:@appendixsec Finding Badly Referenced Nodes - 513:@appendixsubsec Running @code{Info-validate} - 573:@appendixsubsec Splitting a File Manually - - This says that lines 4, 52, and 222 of `texinfo.texi' begin with the -`@appendix', `@appendixsec', and `@appendixsec' commands respectively. -If you move your cursor into the `*Occur*' window, you can position the -cursor over one of the lines and use the `C-c C-c' command -(`occur-mode-goto-occurrence'), to jump to the corresponding spot in -the Texinfo file. *Note Using Occur: (emacs)Other Repeating Search, -for more information about `occur-mode-goto-occurrence'. - - The first line in the `*Occur*' window describes the "regular -expression" specified by TEXINFO-HEADING-PATTERN. This regular -expression is the pattern that `texinfo-show-structure' looks for. -*Note Using Regular Expressions: (emacs)Regexps, for more information. - - When you invoke the `texinfo-show-structure' command, Emacs will -display the structure of the whole buffer. If you want to see the -structure of just a part of the buffer, of one chapter, for example, -use the `C-x n' (`narrow-to-region') command to mark the region. -(*Note Narrowing: (emacs)Narrowing.) This is how the example used -above was generated. (To see the whole buffer again, use `C-x w' -(`widen').) - - If you call `texinfo-show-structure' with a prefix argument by -typing `C-u C-c C-s', it will list lines beginning with `@node' as well -as the lines beginning with the @-sign commands for `@chapter', -`@section', and the like. - - You can remind yourself of the structure of a Texinfo file by -looking at the list in the `*Occur*' window; and if you have mis-named -a node or left out a section, you can correct the mistake. - - -File: texi.info, Node: Using occur, Next: Running Info-Validate, Prev: Using texinfo-show-structure, Up: Catching Mistakes - -Using `occur' -============= - - Sometimes the `texinfo-show-structure' command produces too much -information. Perhaps you want to remind yourself of the overall -structure of a Texinfo file, and are overwhelmed by the detailed list -produced by `texinfo-show-structure'. In this case, you can use the -`occur' command directly. To do this, type - - `M-x occur' - -and then, when prompted, type a "regexp", a regular expression for the -pattern you want to match. (*Note Regular Expressions: -(emacs)Regexps.) The `occur' command works from the current location -of the cursor in the buffer to the end of the buffer. If you want to -run `occur' on the whole buffer, place the cursor at the beginning of -the buffer. - - For example, to see all the lines that contain the word `@chapter' -in them, just type `@chapter'. This will produce a list of the -chapters. It will also list all the sentences with `@chapter' in the -middle of the line. - - If you want to see only those lines that start with the word -`@chapter', type `^@chapter' when prompted by `occur'. If you want to -see all the lines that end with a word or phrase, end the last word -with a `$'; for example, `catching mistakes$'. This can be helpful -when you want to see all the nodes that are part of the same chapter or -section and therefore have the same `Up' pointer. - - *Note Using Occur: (emacs)Other Repeating Search, for more -information. - - -File: texi.info, Node: Running Info-Validate, Prev: Using occur, Up: Catching Mistakes - -Finding Badly Referenced Nodes -============================== - - You can use the `Info-validate' command to check whether any of the -`Next', `Previous', `Up' or other node pointers fail to point to a -node. This command checks that every node pointer points to an -existing node. The `Info-validate' command works only on Info files, -not on Texinfo files. - - The `makeinfo' program validates pointers automatically, so you do -not need to use the `Info-validate' command if you are using -`makeinfo'. You only may need to use `Info-validate' if you are unable -to run `makeinfo' and instead must create an Info file using -`texinfo-format-region' or `texinfo-format-buffer', or if you write an -Info file from scratch. - -* Menu: - -* Using Info-validate:: How to run `Info-validate'. -* Unsplit:: How to create an unsplit file. -* Tagifying:: How to tagify a file. -* Splitting:: How to split a file manually. - - -File: texi.info, Node: Using Info-validate, Next: Unsplit, Up: Running Info-Validate - -Running `Info-validate' ------------------------ - - To use `Info-validate', visit the Info file you wish to check and -type: - - M-x Info-validate - -(Note that the `Info-validate' command requires an upper case `I'. You -may also need to create a tag table before running `Info-validate'. -*Note Tagifying::.) - - If your file is valid, you will receive a message that says "File -appears valid". However, if you have a pointer that does not point to -a node, error messages will be displayed in a buffer called `*problems -in info file*'. - - For example, `Info-validate' was run on a test file that contained -only the first node of this manual. One of the messages said: - - In node "Overview", invalid Next: Texinfo Mode - -This meant that the node called `Overview' had a `Next' pointer that -did not point to anything (which was true in this case, since the test -file had only one node in it). - - Now suppose we add a node named `Texinfo Mode' to our test case but -we do not specify a `Previous' for this node. Then we will get the -following error message: - - In node "Texinfo Mode", should have Previous: Overview - -This is because every `Next' pointer should be matched by a `Previous' -(in the node where the `Next' points) which points back. - - `Info-validate' also checks that all menu entries and cross -references point to actual nodes. - - Note that `Info-validate' requires a tag table and does not work -with files that have been split. (The `texinfo-format-buffer' command -automatically splits large files.) In order to use `Info-validate' on -a large file, you must run `texinfo-format-buffer' with an argument so -that it does not split the Info file; and you must create a tag table -for the unsplit file. - - -File: texi.info, Node: Unsplit, Next: Tagifying, Prev: Using Info-validate, Up: Running Info-Validate - -Creating an Unsplit File ------------------------- - - You can run `Info-validate' only on a single Info file that has a -tag table. The command will not work on the indirect subfiles that are -generated when a master file is split. If you have a large file -(longer than 70,000 bytes or so), you need to run the -`texinfo-format-buffer' or `makeinfo-buffer' command in such a way that -it does not create indirect subfiles. You will also need to create a -tag table for the Info file. After you have done this, you can run -`Info-validate' and look for badly referenced nodes. - - The first step is to create an unsplit Info file. - - To prevent `texinfo-format-buffer' from splitting a Texinfo file -into smaller Info files, give a prefix to the `M-x -texinfo-format-buffer' command: - - C-u M-x texinfo-format-buffer - -or else - - C-u C-c C-e C-b - -When you do this, Texinfo will not split the file and will not create a -tag table for it. - - -File: texi.info, Node: Tagifying, Next: Splitting, Prev: Unsplit, Up: Running Info-Validate - -Tagifying a File ----------------- - - After creating an unsplit Info file, you must create a tag table for -it. Visit the Info file you wish to tagify and type: - - M-x Info-tagify - -(Note the upper case I in `Info-tagify'.) This creates an Info file -with a tag table that you can validate. - - The third step is to validate the Info file: - - M-x Info-validate - -(Note the upper case I in `Info-validate'.) In brief, the steps are: - - C-u M-x texinfo-format-buffer - M-x Info-tagify - M-x Info-validate - - After you have validated the node structure, you will be able to -rerun `texinfo-format-buffer' in the normal way so it will construct a -tag table and split the file automatically, or you can make the tag -table and split the file manually. - - -File: texi.info, Node: Splitting, Prev: Tagifying, Up: Running Info-Validate - -Splitting a File Manually -------------------------- - - You should split a large file or else let the -`texinfo-format-buffer' or `makeinfo-buffer' command do it for you -automatically. (Generally you will let one of the formatting commands -do this job for you. *Note Create an Info File::.) - - The split-off files are called the indirect subfiles. - - Info files are split to save memory. With smaller files, Emacs does -not have make such a large buffer to hold the information. - - If an Info file has more than 30 nodes, you should also make a tag -table for it. *Note Using Info-validate::, for information about -creating a tag table. (Again, tag tables are usually created -automatically by the formatting command; you only need to create a tag -table yourself if you are doing the job manually. Most likely, you -will do this for a large, unsplit file on which you have run -`Info-validate'.) - - Visit the Info file you wish to tagify and split and type the two -commands: - - M-x Info-tagify - M-x Info-split - -(Note that the `I' in `Info' is upper case.) - - When you use the `Info-split' command, the buffer is modified into a -(small) Info file which lists the indirect subfiles. This file should -be saved in place of the original visited file. The indirect subfiles -are written in the same directory the original file is in, with names -generated by appending `-' and a number to the original file name. - - The primary file still functions as an Info file, but it contains -just the tag table and a directory of subfiles. - - -File: texi.info, Node: Refilling Paragraphs, Next: Command Syntax, Prev: Catching Mistakes, Up: Top - -Refilling Paragraphs -******************** - - The `@refill' command refills and, optionally, indents the first -line of a paragraph.(1) The `@refill' command is no longer important, -but we describe it here because you once needed it. You will see it in -many old Texinfo files. - - Without refilling, paragraphs containing long @-constructs may look -bad after formatting because the formatter removes @-commands and -shortens some lines more than others. In the past, neither -`texinfo-format-region' nor `texinfo-format-buffer' refilled paragraphs -automatically. The `@refill' command had to be written at the end of -every paragraph to cause these formatters to fill them. (Both TeX and -`makeinfo' have always refilled paragraphs automatically.) Now, all -the Info formatters automatically fill and indent those paragraphs that -need to be filled and indented. - - The `@refill' command causes both the `texinfo-format-region' -command and the `texinfo-format-buffer' command to refill a paragraph -in the Info file *after* all the other processing has been done. For -this reason, you can not use `@refill' with a paragraph containing -either `@*' or `@w{ ... }' since the refilling action will override -those two commands. - - The `texinfo-format-region' and `texinfo-format-buffer' commands now -automatically append `@refill' to the end of each paragraph that should -be filled. They do not append `@refill' to the ends of paragraphs that -contain `@*' or `@w{ ...}' and therefore do not refill or indent them. - - ---------- Footnotes ---------- - - (1) Perhaps the command should have been called the -`@refillandindent' command, but `@refill' is shorter and the name was -chosen before indenting was possible. - - -File: texi.info, Node: Command Syntax, Next: Obtaining TeX, Prev: Refilling Paragraphs, Up: Top - -@-Command Syntax -**************** - - The character `@' is used to start special Texinfo commands. (It -has the same meaning that `\' has in PlainTeX.) Texinfo has four types -of @-command: - -1. Non-alphabetic commands. - These commands consist of an @ followed by a punctuation mark or - other character that is not part of the alphabet. Non-alphabetic - commands are almost always part of the text within a paragraph, - and never take any argument. The two characters (@ and the other - one) are complete in themselves; none is followed by braces. The - non-alphabetic commands are: `@.', `@:', `@*', `@@', `@{', and - `@}'. - -2. Alphabetic commands that do not require arguments. - These commands start with @ followed by a word followed by left- - and right-hand braces. These commands insert special symbols in - the document; they do not require arguments. For example, - `@dots{}' => `...', `@equiv{}' => `==', `@TeX{}' => `TeX', and - `@bullet{}' => `*'. - -3. Alphabetic commands that require arguments within braces. - These commands start with @ followed by a letter or a word, - followed by an argument within braces. For example, the command - `@dfn' indicates the introductory or defining use of a term; it is - used as follows: `In Texinfo, @@-commands are @dfn{mark-up} - commands.' - -4. Alphabetic commands that occupy an entire line. - These commands occupy an entire line. The line starts with @, - followed by the name of the command (a word); for example, - `@center' or `@cindex'. If no argument is needed, the word is - followed by the end of the line. If there is an argument, it is - separated from the command name by a space. Braces are not used. - - Thus, the alphabetic commands fall into classes that have different -argument syntaxes. You cannot tell to which class a command belongs by -the appearance of its name, but you can tell by the command's meaning: -if the command stands for a glyph, it is in class 2 and does not -require an argument; if it makes sense to use the command together with -other text as part of a paragraph, the command is in class 3 and must -be followed by an argument in braces; otherwise, it is in class 4 and -uses the rest of the line as its argument. - - The purpose of having a different syntax for commands of classes 3 -and 4 is to make Texinfo files easier to read, and also to help the GNU -Emacs paragraph and filling commands work properly. There is only one -exception to this rule: the command `@refill', which is always used at -the end of a paragraph immediately following the final period or other -punctuation character. `@refill' takes no argument and does *not* -require braces. `@refill' never confuses the Emacs paragraph commands -because it cannot appear at the beginning of a line. - - -File: texi.info, Node: Obtaining TeX, Next: New Features, Prev: Command Syntax, Up: Top - -How to Obtain TeX -***************** - - TeX is freely redistributable.
