head

The head element is the more complicated. It is important to define many informations about the document. Here it is the example from this manual:

<head>
    <admin>
        <setfilename content="sgmltexi.info">
        <settitle content="Sgmltexi">
        <setchapternewpage content="odd">
        <defindex name="sg">
        <syncodeindex from="sg" to="cp">
        <syncodeindex from="vr" to="cp">
        <infodir cat="Texinfo documentation system">
    </admin>
    <titlepage>
        <title>Sgmltexi</title>
        <subtitle>An alternative way to write Texinfo
        documentation</subtitle>
        <subtitle>This edition is for Sgmltexi
        &EDITION; (alpha) for Texinfo 4.0</subtitle>
        <abstract>
            <p>Sgmltexi is an SGML system (DTD and tools) to
            make Texinfo documentation using SGML...</p>
            ...
        </abstract>

    </titlepage>
    <shortcontents>
    <contents>
</head>

This is not all necessary, but it is a good starting point. Looking at this example, can be recognized some important elements: admin, for administrative informations, and titlepage.
