I tried:
---
@macro mychapter{NAME}
@chapter \NAME\
@end macro
@node Top
@top Top
@menu
* chap::
@end menu
@node chap
@mychapter{chap}
@bye
---
or:
---
@macro mychapter
@chapter @c
@end macro
@node Top
@top Top
@menu
* chap::
@end menu
@node chap
@mychapter chap
@bye
---
Or the latter without `@c'. They all give:
foo.texi:12: Node `chap' requires a sectioning command (e.g. @unnumbered).
./foo.texi:5: Next field of node `Top' not pointed to.
./foo.texi:12: This node (chap) has the bad Prev.
./foo.texi:12: `chap' has no Up field.
makeinfo: Removing output file `foo.info' due to errors; use --force to preserve.
I also tried:
---
@alias mychapter = chapter
@node Top
@top Top
@menu
* chap::
@end menu
@node chap
@mychapter chap
@bye
---
which gives:
foo.texi:10: Node `chap' requires a sectioning command (e.g. @unnumbered).
foo.texi:11: Unknown command `mychapter'.
./foo.texi:3: Next field of node `Top' not pointed to.
./foo.texi:10: This node (chap) has the bad Prev.
./foo.texi:10: `chap' has no Up field.
makeinfo: Removing output file `foo.info' due to errors; use --force to preserve.
