This behaves quite differently from the other sectioning commands, to fit with the way such “parts” are conventionally used in books. </p> <p>No <code>@node</code> command is associated with <code>@part</code>. Just write the command on a line by itself, including the part title, at the place in the document you want to mark off as starting that part. For example: </p> <div class="example"> <pre class="example">@part Part I:@* The beginning </pre></div> <p>As can be inferred from this example, no automatic numbering or labeling of the <code>@part</code> text is done. The text is taken as-is. </p> <p>Because parts are not associated with nodes, no general text can follow the <code>@part</code> line. To produce the intended output, it must be followed by a chapter-level command (including its node). Thus, to continue the example: </p> <div class="example"> <pre class="example">@part Part I:@* The beginning @node Introduction @chapter Introduction ... </pre></div> <p>In the TeX output, the <code>@part</code> text is included in both the normal and short tables of contents (see <a href="Contents.html">Generating a Table of Contents</a>), without a page number (since that is the normal convention). In addition, a “part page” is output in the body of the document, with just the <code>@part</code> text. In the example above, the <code>@*</code> causes a line break on the part page (but is replaced with a space in the tables of contents). This part page is always forced to be on an odd (right-hand) page, regardless of the chapter pagination (see <a href="_0040setchapternewpage.html"><code>@setchapternewpage</code>: Blank Pages Before Chapters</a>). </p> <p>In the HTML output, the <code>@part</code> text is similarly included in the tables of contents, and a heading is included in the main document text, as part of the following chapter or appendix node. </p> <p>In the XML and DocBook output, the <code><part></code> element includes all the following chapters, up to the next <code><part></code>. A <code><part></code> containing chapters is also closed at an appendix. </p> <p>In the Info and plain text output, <code>@part</code> has no effect. </p> <p><code>@part</code> is ignored when raising or lowering sections (see next section). That is, it is never lowered and nothing can be raised to it. </p> </div> <hr> <div class="header"> <p> Next: <a href="Raise_002flower-sections.html">Raise/lower Sections: <code>@raisesections</code> and <code>@lowersections</code></a>, Previous: <a href="_0040subsubsection.html"><code>@subsection</code> and Other Subsub Commands</a>, Up: <a href="Chapter-Structuring.html">Chapter Structuring</a> [<a href="index.html#SEC_Contents" title="Table of contents" rel="contents">Contents</a>][<a href="Command-and-Variable-Index.html" title="Index" rel="index">Index</a>]</p> </div> </body> </html>
