### 3.4.2 `@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. You can use `@titlefont` more than once if you have an especially long title.

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. (See section `@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 8.5 by 11 inch manual.
