A device or software function that automatically generates or manages header information, such as page headers in documents or HTTP headers in web communications.
From auto- (self) + header. A modern technical term combining the prefix for automatic processes with 'header,' the term for introductory or identifying information in documents and computer systems.
Every time you see a page number and title automatically appear at the top of every page in a Word document, that's an autoheader working behind the scenes—it's one of those invisible tools that saves writers countless hours of repetitive formatting.
