<h4 class="subsection">3.2.4 <code>@settitle</code>: Set the document title</h4>
<p><a name="index-settitle-173"></a>
In order to be made into a printed manual, a Texinfo file must contain
a line that looks like this:
<pre class="example"> @settitle <var>title</var>
</pre>
<p>Write the <code>@settitle</code> command at the beginning of a line and
follow it on the same line by the title. This tells TeX the title to
use in a header or footer. Do not write anything else on the line;
anything on the line after the command is considered part of the title,
including what would otherwise be a comment.
<p>The <code>@settitle</code> command should precede everything that generates
actual output. The best place for it is right after the
<code>@setfilename</code> command (see the previous section).
<p><a name="index-g_t_003ctitle_003e-HTML-tag-174"></a>In the HTML file produced by <samp><span class="command">makeinfo</span></samp>, <var>title</var> serves as
the document ‘<samp><span class="samp"><title></span></samp>’. It also becomes the default document
description in the ‘<samp><span class="samp"><head></span></samp>’ part (see <a href="documentdescription.html#documentdescription">documentdescription</a>).
<p>The title in the <code>@settitle</code> command does not affect the title as
it appears on the title page. Thus, the two do not need not match
exactly. A practice we recommend is to include the version or edition
number of the manual in the <code>@settitle</code> title; on the title page,
the version number generally appears as a <code>@subtitle</code> so it would
be omitted from the <code>@title</code>. See <a href="titlepage.html#titlepage">titlepage</a>.
<p>Conventionally, when TeX formats a Texinfo file for double-sided
output, the title is printed in the left-hand (even-numbered) page
headings and the current chapter title is printed in the right-hand
(odd-numbered) page headings. (TeX learns the title of each chapter
from each <code>@chapter</code> command.) By default, no page footer is
printed.
<p>Even if you are printing in a single-sided style, TeX looks for an
<code>@settitle</code> command line, in case you include the manual title
in the heading.
<p>TeX prints page headings only for that text that comes after the
<code>@end titlepage</code> command in the Texinfo file, or that comes
after an <code>@headings</code> command that turns on headings.
(See <a href="headings-on-off.html#headings-on-off">The <code>@headings</code> Command</a>, for more
information.)
<p>You may, if you wish, create your own, customized headings and footings.
See <a href="Headings.html#Headings">Headings</a>, for a detailed discussion of this.
