19.1 HTML Title Page Customization

If SHOW_TITLE is not set, no title is output. SHOW_TITLE is ‘undef’ in the default case. If ‘undef’, SHOW_TITLE is set if NO_TOP_NODE_OUTPUT is set. The “title page” is used to format the HTML title if USE_TITLEPAGE_FOR_TITLE is set, otherwise the simpletitle is used. USE_TITLEPAGE_FOR_TITLE is set in the default case. See HTML Customization Variables in Texinfo.
