Texinfo mode

texinfo-mode is used to edit Texinfo source files, it is automatically selected for files ending in `.texi' or `.texinfo'. It provides a few basic key bindings to take some of the tedium out of editing these files.

Paragraphs are separated by the regexp `^@node', i.e. each node is a separate paragraph.

The special commands are,
