Specifying the Type of Heading
Next: How to Make Your Own Headings Prev: Standard Heading Formats
TEX does not begin to generate page headings for a standard Texinfo file until it reaches the @end titlepage command. Thus, the title and copyright pages are not numbered. The @end titlepage command causes TEX to begin to generate page headings according to a standard format specified by the @setchapternewpage command that precedes the @titlepage section.
There are four possibilities:
- No
@setchapternewpage command
- Cause TEX to specify the single-sided heading format, with chapters on new pages. This is the same as
@setchapternewpage on.
-
@setchapternewpage on
- Specify the single-sided heading format, with chapters on new pages.
-
@setchapternewpage off
- Cause TEX to start a new chapter on the same page as the last page of the preceding chapter, after skipping some vertical whitespace. Also cause TEX to typeset for single-sided printing. (You can override the headers format with the
@headings double command; see The @headings Command.)
-
@setchapternewpage odd
- Specify the double-sided heading format, with chapters on new pages.
Texinfo lacks an @setchapternewpage even command.
