<h3 class="section">3.2 Texinfo File Header</h3>
<a name="index-Header-for-Texinfo-files"></a>
<a name="index-Texinfo-file-header"></a>
<p>Texinfo files start with at least two lines. These are the
<code>\input texinfo</code> line and the <code>@settitle</code> line.
</p>
<p>Also, if you want to format just part of the Texinfo file in Emacs,
you must write the <code>@settitle</code> line between start-of-header and
end-of-header lines. These start- and end-of-header lines are optional,
but they do no harm, so you might as well always include them.
</p>
<p>Any command that affects document formatting as a whole makes sense to
include in the header. <code>@synindex</code> (see <a href="_0040synindex.html#g_t_0040synindex"><code>@synindex</code></a>),
for instance, is another command often included in the header.
</p>
<p>Thus, the beginning of a Texinfo file looks approximately
like this:
</p>
<div class="example">
<pre class="example">\input texinfo
@settitle Sample Manual 1.0
</pre></div>
<p>(See <a href="GNU-Sample-Texts.html#GNU-Sample-Texts">GNU Sample Texts</a> for complete sample texts.)
