 `@settitle'
 -----------
 
   In order to be made into a printed manual, a Texinfo file must contain
 a line that looks like this:
 
      @settitle TITLE
 
   Write the `@settitle' command at the beginning of a line and follow
 it on the same line by the title.  This tells TeX the title to use in a
 header or footer.  Do not write anything else on the line; anything on
 the line after the command is considered part of the title, including a
 comment.
 
   Conventionally, when TeX formats a Texinfo file for double-sided
 output, the title is printed in the left-hand (even-numbered) page
 headings and the current chapter title is printed in the right-hand
 (odd-numbered) page headings.  (TeX learns the title of each chapter
 from each `@chapter' command.)  Page footers are not printed.
 
   Even if you are printing in a single-sided style, TeX looks for an
 `@settitle' command line, in case you include the manual title in the
 heading.
 
   The `@settitle' command should precede everything that generates
 actual output in TeX.
 
   Although the title in the `@settitle' command is usually the same as
 the title on the title page, it does not affect the title as it appears
 on the title page.  Thus, the two do not need not match exactly;  and
 the title in the `@settitle' command can be a shortened or expanded
 version of the title as it appears on the title page. (
 `@titlepage' titlepage.)
 
   TeX prints page headings only for that text that comes after the
 `@end titlepage' command in the Texinfo file, or that comes after an
 `@headings' command that turns on headings.  ( The `@headings'
 Command headings on off, for more information.)
 
   You may, if you wish, create your own, customized headings and
 footings.   Page Headings Headings, for a detailed discussion of
 this process.
