@part does not work quite right in LaTeX, as far as I can tell. The Texinfo
manual says the following:
... Just write the
command on a line by itself, including the part title, at the place in
the document you want to mark off as starting that part. For example:
@part Part I:@* The beginning
As can be inferred from this example, no automatic numbering or
labeling of the ‘@part’ text is done. The text is taken as-is.
However, as \part is output for @part in LaTeX, this adds a Part <num>
to the output. Hence, the previous example results in "Part I" appearing
twice. The part page looks like:
,-----------------.
| |
| Part I |
| |
| Part I |
| The beginning |
| |
| |
`-----------------'
It appears to be possible to use \part* along with \addcontents line:
\let\Oldpart\part
\newcommand{\Texinfoparttitle}{}
\renewcommand{\part}[1]{\Oldpart*{#1}%
\addcontentsline{toc}{part}{\protect\textbf{#1}}%
\renewcommand{\Texinfoparttitle}{#1}}%
(see https://latexref.xyz/_005caddcontentsline.html).
This is still not quite right, as the @* does not display quite correctly
in the heading.
