<para>
A <sgmltag>RefEntryTitle</sgmltag> is the title of a reference page.
It is frequently the same as the first
<sgmltag>RefName</sgmltag> or the <sgmltag>RefDescriptor</sgmltag>, although it
may also be a longer, more general title.

<para>
Formatting reference pages may require a fairly sophisticated
processing system.  Much of the meta-information about a
reference page (its name, type, purpose, title, and
classification) is stored in wrappers near the beginning of
the <sgmltag>RefEntry</sgmltag>.
</para>
<para>
Common presentational features, such as titles and running
heads, may require data from several of these wrappers plus
some generated text. Other formatting often requires that
these elements be reordered.
