@title, @subtitle, and @author ¶You can use the @title, @subtitle, and @author
commands to create a title page in which the vertical and horizontal
spacing is done for you automatically.
Write the @title, @subtitle, or @author
commands at the beginning of a line followed by the title, subtitle,
or author. The @author command may be used for a quotation in
an @quotation block (see @quotation: Block Quotations);
except for that, it is an error to use any of these commands outside
of @titlepage.
The @title command normally produces a line in which the title is set
flush to the left-hand side of the page in a larger than normal font.
The title is underlined with a black rule. The title must be given on
a single line in the source file; it will be broken into multiple
lines of output is needed.
For long titles, the @* command may be used to specify the
line breaks in long titles if the automatic breaks do not suit. Such
explicit line breaks are generally reflected in all output formats; if
you only want to specify them for the printed output, use a
conditional (see Conditionally Visible Text). For example:
@title This Long Title@inlinefmt{tex,@*} Is Broken in @TeX{}
The @subtitle command normally sets subtitles in a normal-sized font
flush to the right-hand side of the page.
The @author command normally sets the names of the author
or authors in a middle-sized font flush to the left-hand side of the
page on a line near the bottom of the title page. The names are
followed by a black rule that is thinner than the rule that normally
underlines the title.
There are two ways to use the @author command: you can write
the name or names on the remaining part of the line that starts with
an @author command:
@author by Jane Smith and John Doe
or you can write the names one above each other by using multiple
@author commands:
@author Jane Smith @author John Doe
A template for this method looks like this:
@titlepage @title name-of-manual-when-printed @subtitle subtitle-if-any @subtitle second-subtitle @author author @page ... @end titlepage
