20.4 Sample File with '@include'
================================

Here is an example of an outer Texinfo file with '@include' files within
it before running 'texinfo-multiple-files-update', which would insert a
main or master menu:

     \input texinfo @c -*-texinfo-*-
     @setfilename include-example.info
     @settitle Include Example

     ... Note: Sample Texinfo Files, for
     examples of the rest of the frontmatter ...

     @ifnottex
     @node Top
     @top Include Example
     @end ifnottex

     @include foo.texinfo
     @include bar.texinfo
     @include concept-index.texinfo
     @bye

  An included file, such as 'foo.texinfo', might look like this:

     @node First
     @chapter First Chapter

     Contents of first chapter ...

  The full contents of 'concept-index.texinfo' might be as simple as
this:

     @node Concept Index
     @unnumbered Concept Index

     @printindex cp

  The outer Texinfo source file for 'The GNU Emacs Lisp Reference
Manual' is named 'elisp.texi'.  This outer file contains a master menu
with 417 entries and a list of 41 '@include' files.
