`@titlefont', `@center', and `@sp'
----------------------------------

   You can use the `@titlefont', `@sp', and `@center' commands to
create a title page for a printed document.  (This is the first of the
two methods for creating a title page in Texinfo.)

   Use the `@titlefont' command to select a large font suitable for the
title itself.

   For example:

     @titlefont{Texinfo}

   Use the `@center' command at the beginning of a line to center the
remaining text on that line.  Thus,

     @center @titlefont{Texinfo}

centers the title, which in this example is "Texinfo" printed in the
title font.

   Use the `@sp' command to insert vertical space.  For example:

     @sp 2

This inserts two blank lines on the printed page.  (sp,
for more information about the `@sp' command.)

   A template for this method looks like this:

     @titlepage
     @sp 10
     @center @titlefont{NAME-OF-MANUAL-WHEN-PRINTED}
     @sp 2
     @center SUBTITLE-IF-ANY
     @sp 2
     @center AUTHOR
     ...
     @end titlepage

   The spacing of the example fits an 8 1/2 by 11 inch manual.
