<span id="majorheading-_0026-chapheading"></span><span id="index-majorheading"></span>
<span id="index-chapheading"></span>
<p>The <code>@majorheading</code> and <code>@chapheading</code> commands produce
chapter-like headings in the body of a document.
</p>
<p>However, neither command produces an entry in the table of contents,
and neither command causes TeX to start a new page in a printed
manual.
</p>
<p>In TeX, a <code>@majorheading</code> command generates a larger vertical
whitespace before the heading than a <code>@chapheading</code> command but
is otherwise the same.
</p>
<p>In Info and plain text, the <code>@majorheading</code> and
<code>@chapheading</code> commands produce the same output as
<code>@chapter</code>: the title is printed on a line by itself with a line
of asterisks underneath. Similarly for HTML. The only difference is
the lack of numbering and the lack of any association with nodes.
See <a href="_0040chapter.html"><code>@chapter</code></a>.
