The
title2 argument can be given to any element that has the title argument.Its usage is a bit like the
description= argument of images, allowing you to add some extra content to the header without affecting its ID.Unlike
description= however, title2 shows up on all full references, including appearances in the table of contents, which make it more searchable.Its primary use cases are:
- give acronyms, or other short names names of fuller titles such as mathematical/programming notationOne primary reason to not use the acronyms as the main section name is to avoid possible ID ambiguities with other acronyms.
- give the header in different languages
For example, given the OurBigBook input:the rendered output looks like:
= Toplevel
The Toc follows:
== North Atlantic Treaty Organization
{c}
{title2=NATO}
\x[north-atlantic-treaty-organization]
\x[north-atlantic-treaty-organization]{full}= Toplevel
The ToC follows:
* North Atlantic Treaty Organization (NATO)
== North Atlantic Treaty Organization (NATO)
North Atlantic Treaty Organization
Section 1. "North Atlantic Treaty Organization (NATO)"Related alternatives to
title2 include:\Hdisambiguateargument when you do want to affect the ID to remove ambiguities\Hsynonymargument
Parenthesis are added automatically around all rendered
title2.The
title2 argument has a special meaning when applied to a header with the \H synonym argument, see \H title2 argument of a synonym header.
