E.6.2 Creating an Unsplit File
------------------------------

You can run 'Info-validate' only on a single Info file that has a tag
table.  The command will not work on the indirect subfiles that are
generated when a master file is split.  If you have a large file (longer
than 300,000 bytes or so), you need to run the 'texinfo-format-buffer'
or 'makeinfo-buffer' command in such a way that it does not create
indirect subfiles.  You will also need to create a tag table for the
Info file.  After you have done this, you can run 'Info-validate' and
look for badly referenced nodes.

  The first step is to create an unsplit Info file.  To prevent
'texinfo-format-buffer' from splitting a Texinfo file into smaller Info
files, give a prefix to the 'M-x texinfo-format-buffer' command:

     C-u M-x texinfo-format-buffer

or else

     C-u C-c C-e C-b

When you do this, Texinfo will not split the file and will not create a
tag table for it.
