The Title and Copyright Pages
=============================

  A manual's name and author are usually printed on a title page.
Sometimes copyright information is printed on the title page as well;
more often, copyright information is printed on the back of the title
page.

  The title and copyright pages appear in the printed manual, but not
in the Info file.  Because of this, it is possible to use several
slightly obscure TeX typesetting commands that cannot be used in an
Info file.  In addition, this part of the beginning of a Texinfo file
contains the text of the copying permissions that will appear in the
printed manual.

  You may wish to include titlepage-like information for plain text
output.  Simply place any such leading material between `@ifinfo' and
`@end ifinfo'; `makeinfo' includes this in its plain text output.  It
will not show up in the Info readers.

  Note: GNU Free Documentation License, for the
standard text for the copyright permissions.
