3.2.2 Start of Header
---------------------

A start-of-header line is a Texinfo comment that looks like this:

     @c %**start of header

  Write the start-of-header line on the second line of a Texinfo file.
Follow the start-of-header line with '@setfilename' and '@settitle'
lines and, optionally, with other commands that globally affect the
document formatting, such as '@synindex' or '@footnotestyle'; and then
by an end-of-header line (Note: End of Header).

  The start- and end-of-header lines allow you to format only part of a
Texinfo file for Info or printing.  Note: texinfo-format commands.

  The odd string of characters, '%**', is to ensure that no other
comment is accidentally taken for a start-of-header line.  You can
change it if you wish by setting the 'tex-start-of-header' and/or
'tex-end-of-header' Emacs variables.  Note: Texinfo Mode Printing.
