Alright, after some more looking into it, I have to admit, that the observation I made was quite wrong. I wrote:
I have problem with heading appearing on (new) chapters pages, but only if there are sections present (...) a heading with chapter (left-hand pages) or section (right-hand pages) will appear. (...) When there is just text, heading has only page number. Well, there was no heading (except for page number) for new chapters on right-hand pages (the pages with "@thissection), because they happen to not have sections on this page, so nothing to print - and this was root of my misunderstanding. For chapters on left-hand pages (pages with "@thischapter") there was always a "chapter", so there was something to print. So, you were right when you wrote: "This seems to be functioning as designed." But because I would like to remove headings (any kind, except page numbers - I can live with them) from new chapter page, this doesn't solve my issue. >> Also, when I use: >> - "@setchapternewpage odd" (before "titlepage") it DOESN'T happen, > > Are you sure? Pretty much, except when I used it, I didn't add "@headings off, @evenheading ..., @oddheading ...". So, you would have to remove them from your example. This option gives me what I want, even though it has "@thischapter" on right-hand page. But because it forces new chapters to be placed on right-hand page, I get ~30 pages more... >> - "@headings double" (after "titlepage") it DOES happen. > > I understand that if this is used after the @oddheading command it > will override it. 1. As above I used it, without "@headings off, @evenheading ..., @oddheading ...". 2. Actually it DOESN'T happen here as well - it looks like it works like "@setchapternewpage odd" but without forcing new chapters on right-hand pages. It also has "@thischapter" on right-hand pages, but it's empty for new chapter pages when they happen to be on right-hand page. To sum things up, what do "@setchapternewpage odd" and "@headings double" have, that "@headings off, @evenheading ..., @oddheading ..." don't have, that they can ignore heading option and just print page number on new chapter page? Is it perhaps something you described as: "There is a special feature to avoid printing the chapter name on the first page of the chapter (...)" As for (by K. Berry): > Texinfo is supposed to emphasize usability and simplicity over > appearance. Got it, and since it was optional request, I'm just going to leave it. S. U.
