| <h4 class="subsection" id="Standard-Heading-Formats">E.2.2 Standard Heading Formats</h4> |
| |
| <p>Texinfo provides two standard heading formats, one for manuals printed |
| on one side of each sheet of paper, and the other for manuals printed |
| on both sides of the paper. |
| </p> |
| <p>By default, nothing is specified for the footing of a Texinfo file, |
| so the footing remains blank. |
| </p> |
| <p>The standard format for single-sided printing consists of a header |
| line in which the left-hand part contains the name of the chapter, the |
| central part is blank, and the right-hand part contains the page |
| number. |
| </p> |
| <p>A single-sided page looks like this: |
| </p> |
| <div class="example"> |
| <div class="group"><pre class="example-preformatted"> _______________________ |
| | | |
| | chapter page number | |
| | | |
| | Start of text ... | |
| | ... | |
| | | |
| </pre></div></div> |
| |
| <p>The standard format for two-sided printing depends on whether the page |
| number is even or odd. By convention, even-numbered pages are on the |
| left- and odd-numbered pages are on the right. (TeX will adjust the |
| widths of the left- and right-hand margins. Usually, widths are |
| correct, but during double-sided printing, it is wise to check that |
| pages will bind properly—sometimes a printer will produce output in |
| which the even-numbered pages have a larger right-hand margin than the |
| odd-numbered pages.) |
| </p> |
| <p>In the standard double-sided format, the left part of the left-hand |
| (even-numbered) page contains the page number, the central part is |
| blank, and the right part contains the title (specified by the |
| <code class="code">@settitle</code> command). The left part of the right-hand |
| (odd-numbered) page contains the name of the chapter, the central part |
| is blank, and the right part contains the page number. |
| </p> |
| <p>Two pages, side by side as in an open book, look like this: |
| </p> |
| <div class="example"> |
| <div class="group"><pre class="example-preformatted"> _______________________ _______________________ |
| | | | | |
| | page number title | | chapter page number | |
| | | | | |
| | Start of text ... | | More text ... | |
| | ... | | ... | |
| | | | | |
| </pre></div></div> |
| |
| <p>The chapter name is preceded by the word “Chapter”, the chapter number |
| and a colon. This makes it easier to keep track of where you are in the |
| manual. |
