that uses a single source file to produce both on-line information and
printed output. This means that instead of writing two different
documents, one for the on-line help or other on-line information and
indices. You can, if you wish, make the chapters and sections of the
printed document correspond to the nodes of the on-line information;
and you use the same cross references and indices for both the Info

To make a printed document, you process a Texinfo source file with the
TeX typesetting program. This creates a DVI file that you can typeset
