<p>Like all <code>@end</code> commands (see <a href="Quotations-and-Examples.html#Quotations-and-Examples">Quotations and Examples</a>), the
<code>@end titlepage</code> command must be written at the beginning of a
line by itself, with only one space between the <code>@end</code> and the
<code>titlepage</code>.  It not only marks the end of the title and
copyright pages, but also causes TeX to start generating page
headings and page numbers.
</p>
<p>Texinfo has two standard page heading formats, one for documents
printed on one side of each sheet of paper (single-sided printing),
and the other for documents printed on both sides of each sheet
(double-sided printing).
</p>
<p>In full generality, you can control the headings in different ways:
</p>
<ul>
<li> The conventional way is to write a <code>@setchapternewpage</code> command
before the title page commands, if required, and then have the
<code>@end titlepage</code> command start generating page headings in the
manner desired.

<p>Most documents are formatted with the standard single-sided or
double-sided headings, (sometimes) using <code>@setchapternewpage
odd</code> for double-sided printing and (almost always) no
<code>@setchapternewpage</code> command for single-sided printing
(see <a href="_0040setchapternewpage.html#g_t_0040setchapternewpage"><code>@setchapternewpage</code></a>).
</p>
</li><li> Alternatively, you can use the <code>@headings</code> command to prevent
page headings from being generated or to start them for either single
or double-sided printing.  Write a <code>@headings</code> command
immediately after the <code>@end titlepage</code> command.  To turn off
headings, write <code>@headings off</code>.  See <a href="_0040headings.html#g_t_0040headings"><code>@headings</code></a>.

</li><li> Or, you may specify your own page heading and footing format.
See <a href="Headings.html#Headings">Headings</a>.
</li></ul>
