<span id="The-_0040headings-Command"></span><h4 class="subsection">3.7.3 The <code>@headings</code> Command</h4>
<span id="headings-on-off"></span><span id="index-headings"></span>
<p>The <code>@headings</code> command is rarely used. It specifies what kind of
page headings and footings to print on each page. Usually, this is
controlled by the <code>@setchapternewpage</code> command. You need the
<code>@headings</code> command only if the <code>@setchapternewpage</code> command
does not do what you want, or if you want to turn off predefined page
headings prior to defining your own. Write a <code>@headings</code> command
immediately after the <code>@end titlepage</code> command.
</p>
<p>You can use <code>@headings</code> as follows:
</p>
<dl compact="compact">
<dt><code>@headings off</code></dt>
<dd><p>Turn off printing of page headings.
</p>
</dd>
<dt><code>@headings single</code></dt>
<dd><p>Turn on page headings appropriate for single-sided printing.
</p>
</dd>
<dt><code>@headings double</code></dt>
<dd><p>Turn on page headings appropriate for double-sided printing.
</p>
</dd>
<dt><code>@headings singleafter</code></dt>
<dt><code>@headings doubleafter</code></dt>
<dd><p>Turn on <code>single</code> or <code>double</code> headings, respectively, after the
current page is output.
</p>
</dd>
<dt><code>@headings on</code></dt>
<dd><p>Turn on page headings: <code>single</code> if ‘<samp>@setchapternewpage
on</samp>’, <code>double</code> otherwise.
</p></dd>
</dl>
<p>For example, suppose you write <code>@setchapternewpage off</code> before the
<code>@titlepage</code> command to tell TeX to start a new chapter on the
same page as the end of the last chapter. This command also causes
TeX to typeset page headers for single-sided printing. To cause
TeX to typeset for double sided printing, write <code>@headings
double</code> after the <code>@end titlepage</code> command.
</p>
<p>You can stop TeX from generating any page headings at all by
writing <code>@headings off</code> on a line of its own immediately after the
line containing the <code>@end titlepage</code> command, like this:
</p>
<div class="example">
<pre class="example">@end titlepage
@headings off
</pre></div>
<p>The <code>@headings off</code> command overrides the <code>@end titlepage</code>
command, which would otherwise cause TeX to print page headings.
</p>
<p>You can also specify your own style of page heading and footing.
See <a href="Headings.html">Page Headings</a>, for more information.
