D.3 Specifying the Type of Heading
==================================

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;
     Note: @headings.)

'@setchapternewpage odd'
     Specify the double-sided heading format, with chapters on new
     pages.

Texinfo lacks an '@setchapternewpage even' command.
