Do not write anything else on the line. The <code>@settitle</code> command should precede everything that generates actual output. The best place for it is right after the <code>@setfilename</code> command (described in the previous section). </p> <p>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 <a href="Heading-Generation.html">Heading Generation</a>. </p> <span id="index-_003ctitle_003e-HTML-tag"></span> <p>In the HTML file produced by <code>makeinfo</code>, <var>title</var> serves as the document ‘<samp><title></samp>’. It also becomes the default document description in the ‘<samp><head></samp>’ part. </p> <p>When the title page is used in the output, the title in the <code>@settitle</code> command does not affect the title as it appears on the title page. Thus, the two do not need not to match exactly. A practice we recommend is to include the version or edition number of the manual in the <code>@settitle</code> title; on the title page, the version number generally appears as a <code>@subtitle</code> so it would be omitted from the <code>@title</code>. See <a href="_0040titlepage.html"><code>@titlepage</code></a>. </p> </div> </body> </html>
