‘texinfo’ uses a pre-defined scheme,
or class, to convert headlines into Texinfo structuring commands.
For example, a top level headline appears as
@chapter if it should be numbered or as
@unnumbered otherwise. If you need to use a
different set of commands, e.g., to start with @part
instead of @chapter, install a new class in
org-texinfo-classes, then activate it with
#+TEXINFO_CLASS keyword. Export process defaults to
org-texinfo-default-class when there is no such
keyword in the document.
If a headline’s level has no associated structuring command, or is below a certain threshold see Export settings, that headline becomes a list in Texinfo output.
As an exception, a headline with a non-nil
:APPENDIX: property becomes an appendix,
independently on its level and the class used.
Each regular sectioning structure creates a menu entry, named
after the heading. You can provide a different, e.g., shorter,
title in :ALT_TITLE: property (see Table of
contents). Optionally, you can specify a description for the
item in :DESCRIPTION: property. E.g.,
* Controlling Screen Display :PROPERTIES: :ALT_TITLE: Display :DESCRIPTION: Controlling Screen Display :END:
