;;; Commentary:

;; Known bug: update commands fail to ignore @ignore, and fail to DTRT
;; with the @if... directives (so expect trouble when the manual uses
;; different @node lines or @menu items in @iftex and in @ifnottex).

;; Summary: how to use the updating commands

;; The node and menu updating functions automatically

;;   * insert missing `@node' lines,
;;   * insert the `Next', `Previous' and `Up' pointers of a node,
;;   * insert or update the menu for a section,
;;   * create a master menu for a Texinfo source file.
;;
;; With a prefix argument, the `texinfo-update-node' and
;; `texinfo-make-menu' functions do their jobs in the region.
;;
;; Important note: We do NOT recommend use of these commands to update
;; the `Next', `Previous' and `Up' pointers on @node lines.  Most
;; manuals, including those whose Texinfo files adhere to the structure
;; described below, don't need these pointers, because makeinfo will
;; generate them automatically (see the node "makeinfo Pointer
;; Creation" in the Texinfo manual).  By contrast, due to known bugs
;; described above, texinfo-update-node etc. could produce incorrect
;; pointers, and thus make a perfectly valid Texinfo file into an
;; invalid one.  You _have_ been warned!
;;
;; In brief, the functions for creating or updating nodes and menus, are:
;;
;;     texinfo-update-node (&optional beginning end)
;;     texinfo-every-node-update ()
;;     texinfo-sequential-node-update (&optional region-p)
;;
;;     texinfo-make-menu (&optional beginning end)
;;     texinfo-all-menus-update ()
;;     texinfo-master-menu ()
;;
;;     texinfo-insert-node-lines  (&optional title-p)
;;
;;     texinfo-indent-menu-description (column &optional region-p)

;; The `texinfo-column-for-description' variable specifies the column to
;; which menu descriptions are indented.

;; Texinfo file structure
;; ----------------------

;; To use the updating commands, you must structure your Texinfo file
;; hierarchically.  Each `@node' line, with the exception of the top
;; node, must be accompanied by some kind of section line, such as an
;; `@chapter' or `@section' line.  Each node-line/section-line
;; combination must look like this:

;;      @node    Lists and Tables, Cross References, Structuring, Top
;;      @comment node-name,        next,             previous,    up
;;      @chapter Making Lists and Tables

;; or like this (without the `@comment' line):

;;      @node    Lists and Tables, Cross References, Structuring, Top
;;      @chapter Making Lists and Tables

;; If the file has a `top' node, it must be called `top' or `Top' and
;; be the first node in the file.


;;; The update node functions described in detail

;; The `texinfo-update-node' command with no prefix argument inserts
;; the correct next, previous and up pointers for the node in which
;; point is located (i.e., for the node preceding point).

;; With prefix argument, the `texinfo-update-node' function inserts the
;; correct next, previous and up pointers for the nodes inside the
;; region.

;; It does not matter whether the  `@node' line has pre-existing
;; `Next', `Previous', or `Up' pointers in it.  They are removed.

;; Warning: Since the pre-existing pointers are replaced with the ones
;; computed by `texinfo-update-node', and since this function has
;; known bugs with the more advanced Texinfo features (see above), it
;; could produce an invalid Texinfo file.  You are well advised not to
;; use this function, except if you know what you are doing and
;; exercise extreme caution.  Keep in mind that most manuals do not
;; need the `Next', `Previous', and `Up' pointers to be present on the
;; @node lines; makeinfo will automatically generate them when it
;; produces the Info or HTML versions of the manual.

;; The `texinfo-every-node-update' function runs `texinfo-update-node'
;; on the whole buffer.

;; The `texinfo-sequential-node-update' function inserts the
;; immediately following and preceding node into the `Next' or
;; `Previous' pointers regardless of their hierarchical level.  This is
;; only useful for certain kinds of text, like a novel, which you go
;; through sequentially.


;;; The menu making functions described in detail

;; The `texinfo-make-menu' function without an argument creates or
;; updates a menu for the section encompassing the node that follows
;; point.  With an argument, it makes or updates menus for the nodes
;; within or part of the marked region.

;; Whenever an existing menu is updated, the descriptions from
;; that menu are incorporated into the new menu.  This is done by copying
;; descriptions from the existing menu to the entries in the new menu
;; that have the same node names.  If the node names are different, the
;; descriptions are not copied to the new menu.

;; Menu entries that refer to other Info files are removed since they
;; are not a node within current buffer.  This is a deficiency.

;; The `texinfo-all-menus-update' function runs `texinfo-make-menu'
;; on the whole buffer.

;; The `texinfo-master-menu' function creates an extended menu located
;; after the top node.  (The file must have a top node.)  This
;; function works only on Texinfo files all of whose menus are
;; present in a single file; use `texinfo-multiple-files-update' for
;; multi-file manuals.  The function constructs a master menu that
;; includes every entry from every other menu.  Use this command to
;; create or update the @detailmenu menu after you've created or
;; updated all the menus in the file, including the menu in the Top
;; node, using the `texinfo-make-menu' or the `texinfo-all-menus-update'
;; command.

;; The `texinfo-indent-menu-description' function indents every
;; description in the menu following point, to the specified column.
;; Non-nil argument (prefix, if interactive) means indent every
;; description in every menu in the region.  This function does not
;; indent second and subsequent lines of a multi-line description.

;; The `texinfo-insert-node-lines' function inserts `@node' before the
;; `@chapter', `@section', and such like lines of a region in a Texinfo
;; file where the `@node' lines are missing.
;;
;; With a non-nil argument (prefix, if interactive), the function not
;; only inserts `@node' lines but also inserts the chapter or section
;; titles as the names of the corresponding nodes; and inserts titles
;; as node names in pre-existing `@node' lines that lack names.
;;
;; Since node names should be more concise than section or chapter
;; titles, you will usually want to manually edit node names so inserted.

;;; Making the master menu

(defun texinfo-master-menu (update-all-nodes-menus-p)
  "Make a master menu for a whole Texinfo file.
Remove pre-existing master menu, if there is one.

This function supports only single-file manuals.  For multi-file
manuals, use `texinfo-multiple-files-update'.

This function creates or updates the @detailmenu section of a
master menu that follows the Top node.  It replaces any existing
detailed menu that follows the top node.  The detailed menu
includes every entry from all the other menus.  By default, the
existing menus, including the menu in the Top node, are not
updated according to the buffer contents, so all the menus should
be updated first using `texinfo-make-menu' or
`texinfo-all-menus-update', which see.  Alternatively, invoke
this function with a prefix argument, see below.

Non-nil, non-numeric argument (C-u prefix, if interactive) means
first update all existing menus in the buffer (incorporating
descriptions from pre-existing menus) before it constructs the
master menu.  If the argument is numeric (e.g., \"C-u 2\"),
update all existing nodes as well, by calling
`texinfo-update-node' on the entire file.  Warning: do NOT
invoke with a numeric argument if your Texinfo file uses @node
lines without the `Next', `Previous', `Up' pointers, as the
result could be an invalid Texinfo file!

The function removes and recreates the detailed part of an already
existing master menu.  This action assumes that the pre-existing
master menu uses the standard `texinfo-master-menu-header' for the
detailed menu.

The master menu has the following format, which is adapted from the
recommendation in the Texinfo Manual:

   * The first part contains the major nodes in the Texinfo file: the
     nodes for the chapters, chapter-like sections, and the major
     appendices.  This includes the indices, so long as they are in
     chapter-like sections, such as unnumbered sections.

   * The second and subsequent parts contain a listing of the other,
     lower level menus, in order.  This way, an inquirer can go
     directly to a particular node if he or she is searching for
     specific information.

Each of the menus in the detailed node listing is introduced by the
title of the section containing the menu.

Indents the first line of descriptions, and leaves trailing whitespace
in a menu that lacks descriptions, so descriptions will format well.
In general, a menu should contain descriptions, because node names and
section titles are often too short to explain a node well."

  "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."
