3.4.5 Heading Generation
------------------------

Like all '@end' commands (Note: Quotations and Examples), the '@end
titlepage' command must be written at the beginning of a line by itself,
with only one space between the '@end' and the 'titlepage'.  It not only
marks the end of the title and copyright pages, but also causes TeX to
start generating page headings and page numbers.

  Texinfo has two standard page heading formats, one for documents
printed on one side of each sheet of paper (single-sided printing), and
the other for documents printed on both sides of each sheet
(double-sided printing).

  In full generality, you can control the headings in different ways:

   * The conventional way is to write an '@setchapternewpage' command
     before the title page commands, if required, and then have the
     '@end titlepage' command start generating page headings in the
     manner desired.

     Most documents are formatted with the standard single-sided or
     double-sided headings, (sometimes) using '@setchapternewpage odd'
     for double-sided printing and (almost always) no
     '@setchapternewpage' command for single-sided printing (Note:
     @setchapternewpage).

   * Alternatively, you can use the '@headings' command to prevent page
     headings from being generated or to start them for either single or
     double-sided printing.  Write an '@headings' command immediately
     after the '@end titlepage' command.  To turn off headings, write
     '@headings off'.  Note: @headings.

   * Or, you may specify your own page heading and footing format.
