(texinfo)Catching Mistakes

Formatting Mistakes
*******************

  Besides mistakes in the content of your documentation, there are two
kinds of mistake you can make with Texinfo:  you can make mistakes with
@-commands, and you can make mistakes with the structure of the nodes
and chapters.

  Emacs has two tools for catching the @-command mistakes and two for
catching structuring mistakes.

  For finding problems with @-commands, you can run TeX or a region
formatting command on the region that has a problem; indeed, you can
run these commands on each region as you write it.

  For finding problems with the structure of nodes and chapters, you
can use `C-c C-s' (`texinfo-show-structure') and the related `occur'
command and you can use the `M-x Info-validate' command.
