The commands are called “update” commands because their most frequent use is for updating a Texinfo file after you have worked on it; but you can use them to insert the ‘Next’, ‘Previous’, and ‘Up’ pointers into an <code>@node</code> line that has none and to create menus in a file that has none. </p> <p>If you do not use any updating commands, you need to write menus by hand, which is a tedious task. </p> <ul class="section-toc"> <li><a href="Updating-Commands.html" accesskey="1">The Updating Commands</a></li> <li><a href="Updating-Requirements.html" accesskey="2">Updating Requirements</a></li> <li><a href="Other-Updating-Commands.html" accesskey="3">Other Updating Commands</a></li> </ul> </div> </body> </html>
