3.4.2 @titlefont
, @center
, and @sp
You can use the @titlefont
, @sp
, and @center
commands to create a title page for a printed document. (This is the
first of the two methods for creating a title page in Texinfo.)
Use the @titlefont
command to select a large font suitable for
the title itself. You can use @titlefont
more than once if you
have an especially long title.
For HTML output, each @titlefont
command produces an
<h1>
heading, but the HTML document <title>
is not
affected. For that, you must put an @settitle
command before
the @titlefont
command (see section @settitle
: Set the Document Title).
For example:
@titlefont{Texinfo}
Use the @center
command at the beginning of a line to center
the remaining text on that line. Thus,
@center @titlefont{Texinfo}
centers the title, which in this example is “Texinfo” printed in the title font.
Use the @sp
command to insert vertical space. For example:
@sp 2
This inserts two blank lines on the printed page.
(See section @sp
n: Insert Blank Lines, for more information about the @sp
command.)
A template for this method looks like this:
@titlepage @sp 10 @center @titlefont{name-of-manual-when-printed} @sp 2 @center subtitle-if-any @sp 2 @center author … @end titlepage
The spacing of the example fits an 8.5 by 11 inch manual.
You can in fact use these commands anywhere, not just on a title page, but since they are not logical markup commands, we don’t recommend them.
