texinfo-multiple-files-update
texinfo-multiple-files-update is an interactive autoloaded compiled Lisp function in `texnfo-upd.el
'.
(texinfo-multiple-files-update OUTER-FILE &optional MAKE-MASTER-MENU UPDATE-EVERYTHING)
Update first node pointers in each file included in OUTER-FILE;
create or update the `Top' level node pointers and the main menu in
the outer file that refers to such nodes. This does not create or
update menus or pointers within the included files.
With optional MAKE-MASTER-MENU argument (prefix arg, if interactive),
insert a master menu in OUTER-FILE in addition to creating or updating
pointers in the first @node line in each included file and creating or
updating the `Top' level node pointers of the outer file. This does
not create or update other menus and pointers within the included
files.
With optional UPDATE-EVERYTHING argument (numeric prefix arg, if
interactive), update all the menus and all the `Next', `Previous', and
`Up' pointers of all the files included in OUTER-FILE before inserting
a master menu in OUTER-FILE. Also, update the `Top' level node
pointers of OUTER-FILE. Do NOT invoke this command with a numeric prefix
arg, if your files use @node lines without the `Next', `Previous', `Up'
pointers, because this could produce invalid Texinfo files due to known
deficiencies in `texinfo-update-node': it does not support the @ignore
and @if... directives.
Notes:
* this command does NOT save any files--you must save the
outer file and any modified, included files.
* except for the `Top' node, this command does NOT handle any
pre-existing nodes in the outer file; hence, indices must be
enclosed in an included file.
Requirements:
* each of the included files must contain exactly one highest
hierarchical level node,
* this highest node must be the first node in the included file,
* each highest hierarchical level node must be of the same type.
Thus, normally, each included file contains one, and only one,
chapter.
