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; for Texinfo 4</subtitle>
             <abstract>
                 <p>Sgmltexi is an SGML system (DTD and tools) to
                 make Texinfo documentation using SGML...</p>
                 ...
             </abstract>

             </legal>
         </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.
