3.4.5 Heading Generation

Like all @end commands (see Quotations and Examples), the @end titlepage command must be written at the beginning of a line by itself, with only one space between the @end and the titlepage. It not only marks the end of the title and copyright pages, but also causes TeX to start generating page headings and page numbers.

Texinfo has two standard page heading formats, one for documents printed on one side of each sheet of paper (single-sided printing), and the other for documents printed on both sides of each sheet (double-sided printing).

In full generality, you can control the headings in different ways:

• The conventional way is to write a @setchapternewpage command before the title page commands, if required, and then have the @end titlepage command start generating page headings in the manner desired.

  Most documents are formatted with the standard single-sided or double-sided headings, (sometimes) using @setchapternewpage odd for double-sided printing and (almost always) no @setchapternewpage command for single-sided printing (see @setchapternewpage).

• Alternatively, you can use the @headings command to prevent page headings from being generated or to start them for either single or double-sided printing. Write a @headings command immediately after the @end titlepage command. To turn off headings, write @headings off. See @headings.
• Or, you may specify your own page heading and footing format. See Headings.
