5.5 '@majorheading', '@chapheading': Chapter-level Headings
===========================================================

The '@majorheading' and '@chapheading' commands produce chapter-like
headings in the body of a document.

  However, neither command produces an entry in the table of contents,
and neither command causes TeX to start a new page in a printed manual.

  In TeX, an '@majorheading' command generates a larger vertical
whitespace before the heading than an '@chapheading' command but is
otherwise the same.

  In Info and plain text, the '@majorheading' and '@chapheading'
commands produce the same output as '@chapter': the title is printed on
a line by itself with a line of asterisks underneath.  Similarly for
HTML.  The only difference is the lack of numbering and the lack of any
association with nodes.  Note: @chapter.
