In hard copy output, the manual’s name and author are usually printed on
a title page. Copyright information is usually printed on the back
(verso) of the title page. This segment must be enclosed between
@titlepage
and @end titlepage
commands:
@titlepage @title Sample Title
@c The following two commands start the copyright page. @page @vskip 0pt plus 1filll @insertcopying @end titlepage
We use the @insertcopying
command to
include the permission text from the previous section, instead of
writing it out again.
The title and copyright pages appear in printed manuals, but not in
most other output formats. In HTML, the best way to get a title page
similar to printed manuals is to set the NO_TOP_NODE_OUTPUT
customization variable (see NO_TOP_NODE_OUTPUT
).
