(texinfo) Titlepage & Copyright Page
 
 `@titlepage'
 ------------
 
   Start the material for the title page and following copyright page
 with `@titlepage' on a line by itself and end it with `@end titlepage'
 on a line by itself.
 
   The `@end titlepage' command starts a new page and turns on page
 numbering.  ( Page Headings Headings, for details about how to
 generate page headings.)  All the material that you want to appear on
 unnumbered pages should be put between the `@titlepage' and `@end
 titlepage' commands.  You can force the table of contents to appear
 there with the `@setcontentsaftertitlepage' command ( Contents).
 
   By using the `@page' command you can force a page break within the
 region delineated by the `@titlepage' and `@end titlepage' commands and
 thereby create more than one unnumbered page.  This is how the
 copyright page is produced.  (The `@titlepage' command might perhaps
 have been better named the `@titleandadditionalpages' command, but that
 would have been rather long!)
 
   When you write a manual about a computer program, you should write the
 version of the program to which the manual applies on the title page.
 If the manual changes more frequently than the program or is independent
 of it, you should also include an edition number(1) (
 titlepage-Footnote-1) for the manual.  This helps readers keep track
 of which manual is for which version of the program.  (The `Top' node
 should also contain this information; see  `@top' makeinfo top.)
 
   Texinfo provides two main methods for creating a title page.  One
 method uses the `@titlefont', `@sp', and `@center' commands to generate
 a title page in which the words on the page are centered.
 
   The second method uses the `@title', `@subtitle', and `@author'
 commands to create a title page with black rules under the title and
 author lines and the subtitle text set flush to the right hand side of
 the page.  With this method, you do not specify any of the actual
 formatting of the title page.  You specify the text you want, and
 Texinfo does the formatting.
 
   You may use either method, or you may combine them; see the examples
 in the sections below.
 
   For extremely simple applications, and for the bastard title page in
 traditional book front matter, Texinfo also provides a command
 `@shorttitlepage' which takes a single argument as the title.  The
 argument is typeset on a page by itself and followed by a blank page.
