# 5.32. title Filter

## Interface

The general syntax is:

      !block title[; parameters]
      ...

See Understanding Filter Interfaces, if necessary.

## Description

The title filter is used to build the title block for memos, faxes, etc.

The type parameter can be used to override the document type. For PostScript output, the value is displayed in a box above the rest of the title.

The toc parameter is used to request a table of contents. The value is the level of headings to include in the contents.

The format attribute is used to fine tune the layout of the columns within the table for format where a table is used (e.g. plain text).
