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)"
