<p>TeX does not begin to generate page headings for a standard Texinfo
file until it reaches the <code>@end titlepage</code> command. Thus, the
title and copyright pages are not numbered. The <code>@end
titlepage</code> command causes TeX to begin to generate page headings
according to a standard format specified by the
<code>@setchapternewpage</code> command that precedes the
<code>@titlepage</code> section.
</p>
<p>There are four possibilities:
</p>
<dl compact="compact">
<dt>No <code>@setchapternewpage</code> command</dt>
<dd><p>Cause TeX to specify the single-sided heading format, with chapters
on new pages. This is the same as <code>@setchapternewpage on</code>.
</p>
</dd>
<dt><code>@setchapternewpage on</code></dt>
<dd><p>Specify the single-sided heading format, with chapters on new pages.
</p>
</dd>
<dt><code>@setchapternewpage off</code></dt>
<dd><p>Cause TeX to start a new chapter on the same page as the last page
of the preceding chapter, after skipping some vertical whitespace.
Also cause TeX to typeset for single-sided printing. (You can
override the headers format with the <code>@headings double</code> command;
see <a href="_0040headings.html"><code>@headings</code></a>.)
</p>
</dd>
<dt><code>@setchapternewpage odd</code></dt>
<dd><p>Specify the double-sided heading format, with chapters on new pages.
</p></dd>
</dl>
<p>Texinfo lacks a <code>@setchapternewpage even</code> command.
