`@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 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.  (Note: `@sp',
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.
