Texinfo - Page Headings Go to the previous , next section. Page Headings Most printed manuals contain headings along the top of every page except the title and copyright pages.
Some manuals also contain footings.
Texinfo provides standard page heading formats for manuals that are printed on one side of each sheet of paper and for manuals that are printed on both sides of the paper. Usually, you will use one or other of these formats, but you can specify your own format, if you wish. By convention, a book is printed on both sides of each sheet of paper. Reports, however, are often printed on just one side of paper, and chapters begin on a fresh page immediately following the end of the preceding chapter. In short or informal reports, chapters often do not begin on a new page at all, but are separated from the preceding text by a small amount of whitespace.
