There are no @node in your manual. If you convert to Info format, by calling for instance texi2any icord.texi you will get a warning: icord.texi: warning: document without nodes and you will get an output Info file that shows nothing upon reading in an Info reader, as there are no nodes. If you convert to plaintext, PDF, or HTML you get something in output, though, for HTML, not split at nodes, but everything on one HTML page. Another issue is that there is no @top command (nor @node Top). If you do not want to add nodes manually, you can have texi2any insert them automatically, but you will still need a @top to have a @node Top created automatically such that the Info reader can find the first node. texi2any -c TREE_TRANSFORMATIONS=insert_nodes_for_sectioning_commands icord.texi Note that you can still starts with a given node, but it is not the usual way to use the Info format. info ./icord.info -n Introduction -- Pat
