That should have cleared things up. Anyway, in addition to what DJ Delorie said about CR-LF translation, there is one other quirk: the text of the prologue before the first node is NOT counted, except for the first subfile. In the following example, the text at the beginning of each info subfile upto the first "^_" marker is only counted once, in the first subfile. The rest of subfiles logically begin after this preamble. This is Info file cpp.info, produced by Makeinfo-1.55 from the input file cpp.texi. This file documents the GNU C Preprocessor.
