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.
