C.1 Short Sample
================

Here is a complete, short sample Texinfo file, without any commentary.
You can see this file, with comments, in the first chapter.  Note: Short
Sample.

  In a nutshell: The 'makeinfo' program transforms a Texinfo source file
such as this into an Info file or HTML; and TeX typesets it for a
printed manual.


     \input texinfo   @c -*-texinfo-*-
     @c %**start of header
     @setfilename sample.info
     @settitle Sample Manual 1.0
     @c %**end of header

     @copying
     This is a short example of a complete Texinfo file.
