The Title and Copyright Pages

A manual's name and author are usually printed on a title page. Sometimes copyright information is printed on the title page as well; more often, copyright information is printed on the back of the title page.

The title and copyright pages appear in the printed manual, but not in the Info file. Because of this, it is possible to use several slightly obscure TeX typesetting commands that cannot be used in an Info file. In addition, this part of the beginning of a Texinfo file contains the text of the copying permissions that will appear in the printed manual.

See section Titlepage Copying Permissions, for the standard text for the copyright permissions.

• titlepage: Create a title for the printed document.
• titlefont center sp: The @titlefont, @center, and @sp commands.
• title subtitle author: The @title, @subtitle, and @author commands.
• Copyright & Permissions: How to write the copyright notice and include copying permissions.
• end titlepage: Turn on page headings after the title and copyright pages.
• headings on off: An option for turning headings on and off and double or single sided printing.
