<p>You can use the <code>@titlefont</code>, <code>@sp</code>, and <code>@center</code>
commands to create a title page for a printed document. (This is the
first of the two methods for creating a title page in Texinfo.)
</p>
<p>Use the <code>@titlefont</code> command to select a large font suitable for
the title itself. You can use <code>@titlefont</code> more than once if you
have an especially long title.
</p>
<p>For HTML output, each <code>@titlefont</code> command produces an
<code><h1></code> heading, but the HTML document <code><title></code> is not
affected. For that, you must put a <code>@settitle</code> command before
the <code>@titlefont</code> command (see <a href="_0040settitle.html"><code>@settitle</code></a>).
</p>
<p>For example:
</p>
<div class="example">
<pre class="example">@titlefont{Texinfo}
</pre></div>
<p>Use the <code>@center</code> command at the beginning of a line to center
the remaining text on that line. Thus,
</p>
<div class="example">
<pre class="example">@center @titlefont{Texinfo}
</pre></div>
<p>centers the title, which in this example is “Texinfo” printed
in the title font.
</p>
<p>Use the <code>@sp</code> command to insert vertical space. For example:
</p>
<div class="example">
<pre class="example">@sp 2
</pre></div>
<p>This inserts two blank lines on the printed page.
(See <a href="_0040sp.html"><code>@sp</code></a>, for more information about the <code>@sp</code>
command.)
</p>
<p>A template for this method looks like this:
</p>
<div class="example">
<pre class="example">@titlepage
@sp 10
@center @titlefont{<var>name-of-manual-when-printed</var>}
@sp 2
@center <var>subtitle-if-any</var>
@sp 2
@center <var>author</var>
…
@end titlepage
</pre></div>
<p>The spacing of the example fits an 8.5 by 11 inch manual.
