Thanks for doing this, but unfortunately the capitalization style
you've chosen is wrong. The Texinfo manual says:
* By convention, node names are capitalized just as they would be for
section or chapter titles--initial and significant words are
capitalized; others are not.
IOW, the correct capitalization style is, e.g., "Commands to Set
Tracepoints", not "Commands to set tracepoints". If you can afford
that, please redo the capitalization to use this style.
Thanks again for working on this.
