In the doc/texinfo.texi file:

The @code{makeinfo} program automatically determines node pointers
for a hierarchically organized document.  For it do to do this, each
@code{@@node} command should be followed immediately by a sectioning
command such as @code{@@chapter} or @code{@@section} (except that
comment lines may intervene).  Finally, you must follow the `Top'
[...]

Concerning "For it do to do this", I suppose that the first "do"
should not be there. But it is still a bit difficult to parse and
it should be simplified, IMHO. Replace it by "To this end"?

And I've attached a patch fixing 2 typos.
