@value Example
You can use the @value command to limit the number of places you
need to change when you record an update to a manual. Here is how it is
done in The GNU Make Manual:
@set EDITION 0.35 Beta @set VERSION 3.63 Beta @set UPDATED 14 August 1992 @set UPDATE-MONTH August 1992
@ifinfo section, for people reading the
Texinfo file:
This is Edition @value{EDITION},
last updated @value{UPDATED},
of @cite{The GNU Make Manual},
for @code{make}, version @value{VERSION}.
@title GNU Make
@subtitle A Program for Directing Recompilation
@subtitle Edition @value{EDITION}, ...
@subtitle @value{UPDATE-MONTH}
(On a printed cover, a date listing the month and the year looks less
fussy than a date listing the day as well as the month and year.)
This is Edition @value{EDITION}
of the @cite{GNU Make Manual},
last updated @value{UPDATED}
for @code{make} Version @value{VERSION}.
After you format the manual, the text in the first @ifinfo
section looks like this:
This is Edition 0.35 Beta, last updated 14 August 1992, of `The GNU Make Manual', for `make', Version 3.63 Beta.
When you update the manual, change only the values of the flags; you do not need to edit the three sections.
