Stand-alone GNU Info

If you do not know how to use Info, but have a working Info reader, you should read the Info manual before this one (see Top in Info), as it includes more background information and a thorough tutorial.

This documentation describes the stand-alone Info reader that is part of the Texinfo distribution, not the Info reader that is part of GNU Emacs.
