 Headings Introduced
 ===================
 
   Texinfo provides standard page heading formats for manuals that are
 printed on one side of each sheet of paper and for manuals that are
 printed on both sides of the paper.  Typically, you will use these
 formats, but you can specify your own format if you wish.
 
   In addition, you can specify whether chapters should begin on a new
 page, or merely continue the same page as the previous chapter; and if
 chapters begin on new pages, you can specify whether they must be
 odd-numbered pages.
 
   By convention, a book is printed on both sides of each sheet of paper.
 When you open a book, the right-hand page is odd-numbered, and chapters
 begin on right-hand pages--a preceding left-hand page is left blank if
 necessary.  Reports, however, are often printed on just one side of
 paper, and chapters begin on a fresh page immediately following the end
 of the preceding chapter.  In short or informal reports, chapters often
 do not begin on a new page at all, but are separated from the preceding
 text by a small amount of whitespace.
 
   The `@setchapternewpage' command controls whether chapters begin on
 new pages, and whether one of the standard heading formats is used.  In
 addition, Texinfo has several heading and footing commands that you can
 use to generate your own heading and footing formats.
 
   In Texinfo, headings and footings are single lines at the tops and
 bottoms of pages; you cannot create multiline headings or footings.
 Each header or footer line is divided into three parts: a left part, a
 middle part, and a right part.  Any part, or a whole line, may be left
 blank.  Text for the left part of a header or footer line is set
 flushleft; text for the middle part is centered; and, text for the
 right part is set flushright.
