3.2.4 '@settitle': Set the Document Title
-----------------------------------------

A Texinfo file should contain a line that looks like this:

     @settitle TITLE

  Write the '@settitle' command at the beginning of a line and follow it
on the same line by the title.  Do not write anything else on the line.
The '@settitle' command should precede everything that generates actual
output.  The best place for it is right after the '@setfilename' command
(described in the previous section).

  This command tells TeX the title to use in a header or footer for
double-sided output, in case such headings are output.  For more on
headings for TeX, see Note: Heading Generation.

  In the HTML file produced by 'makeinfo', TITLE serves as the document
'<title>'.  It also becomes the default document description in the
'<head>' part (Note: @documentdescription).

  When the title page is used in the output, the title in the
'@settitle' 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 '@settitle' title; on the title page, the version number generally
appears as an '@subtitle' so it would be omitted from the '@title'.
Note: @titlepage.
