6.1 The different categories of pages and sectioning elements
The following sectioning elements can be associated with pages:
- Normal elements
These are normal sections or nodes. Their association with pages is
determined by the splitting of the document. See section Specifying where to split the generated document.
- Top element
The top element is the higher element in the document structure.
If there is a @top section it is the element associated with
that section. Otherwise it is the element associated with the
@node Top. If there is no @node Top the first element is the
top element.
The top element is formatted differently than a normal element if there
is a @top section or the @node Top isn't associated
with a sectioning command.
- Misc elements
These elements are associated with pages if the document is split.
There are four misc elements:
- Table of contents
- Short table of contents, also called Overview
- Footnotes page
- About page
The About page shouldn't be present for documents consisting
in only one sectioning element, or for documents unsplit and without
navigation information. The Footnote page should only
be present if the footnotes appear on a separated page
(see section Page layout related command line options), however a footnote element is present if
the document isn't split. The Table of contents should only
be formatted if @contents is present in the document.
Similarly the Overview should only appear if @shortcontents
or @summarycontents is present. The Table of contents and
the Overview may also be directly included within the document, not
as separate pages (see section Table of contents and Short table of contents).
