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;
     see Note: The `@headings' Command.)

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

Texinfo lacks an `@setchapternewpage even' command.
