| |
| <p>By international treaty, the copyright notice for a book must be either |
| on the title page or on the back of the title page. When the copyright |
| notice is on the back of the title page, that page is customarily not |
| numbered. Therefore, in Texinfo, the information on the copyright page |
| should be within <code class="code">@titlepage</code> and <code class="code">@end titlepage</code> |
| commands. |
| </p> |
| <a class="index-entry-id" id="index-vskip-TeX-vertical-skip"></a> |
| <a class="index-entry-id" id="index-filll-TeX-dimension"></a> |
| <p>Use the <code class="code">@page</code> command to cause a page break. To push the |
| copyright notice and the other text on the copyright page towards the |
| bottom of the page, use the following incantation after <code class="code">@page</code>: |
| </p> |
| <div class="example"> |
| <pre class="example-preformatted">@vskip 0pt plus 1filll |
| </pre></div> |
| |
| <p>The <code class="code">@vskip</code> command inserts whitespace in the TeX output; it |
| is ignored in all other output formats. The ‘<samp class="samp">0pt plus 1filll</samp>’ |
| means to put in zero points of mandatory whitespace, and as much |
| optional whitespace as needed to push the following text to the bottom |
| of the page. Note the use of three ‘<samp class="samp">l</samp>’s in the word |
| ‘<samp class="samp">filll</samp>’; this is correct. |
| </p> |
| <p>To insert the copyright text itself, write <code class="code">@insertcopying</code> |
| next (see <a class="pxref" href="Document-Permissions.html">Document Permissions</a>): |
| </p> |
| <div class="example"> |
| <pre class="example-preformatted">@insertcopying |
| </pre></div> |
| |
| <p>Follow the copying text by the publisher, ISBN numbers, cover art |
| credits, and other such information. |
| </p> |
| <p>Here is an example putting all this together: |
| </p> |
| <div class="example"> |
| <pre class="example-preformatted">@titlepage |
| … |
| @page |
| @vskip 0pt plus 1filll |
| @insertcopying |
| |
| Published by … |
| |
| Cover art by … |
| @end titlepage |
| </pre></div> |
| |
| <p>We have one more special case to consider: for plain text output, you |
| must insert the copyright information explicitly if you want it to |
| appear. For instance, you could have the following after the copyright |
| page: |
| </p> |
| <div class="example"> |
| <pre class="example-preformatted">@ifplaintext |
| @insertcopying |
| @end ifplaintext |
| </pre></div> |
| |
| <p>You could include other title-like information for the plain text |
| output in the same place. |
| </p> |
