<p><i class="slanted">Headers</i> and <i class="slanted">footers</i> occupy the top and bottom of
each page, respectively, and contain data like the page number and the
article or chapter title.  Their appearance is not affected by the
running text.  Some packages allow for different titles on even- and
odd-numbered pages (for printed, bound material).
</p>
<p>Headers and footers are together called <i class="slanted">titles</i>, and comprise
three parts: left-aligned, centered, and right-aligned.  A &lsquo;<samp class="samp">%</samp>&rsquo;
character appearing anywhere in a title is automatically replaced by the
page number.  See <a class="xref" href="Page-Layout.html">Page Layout</a>.
