23.1 Creating an Info File
==========================

'makeinfo' is a program that converts a Texinfo file into an Info file,
HTML file, or plain text.  'texinfo-format-region' and
'texinfo-format-buffer' are GNU Emacs functions that convert Texinfo to
Info.

  For information on installing the Info file in the Info system, Note:
