General ⇒ vertical center titlepage?

[hub]

Hello!

Can I vertically center the titlepage?
I havent used any custom titlepage, just using \maketitle.

To me it looks like the title page contents is centred by default. Consider the following minimal working example (MWE).

Code: Select all

\documentclass[11pt,a4paper]{report}
\usepackage[T1]{fontenc}
\usepackage[latin1]{inputenc}
%\usepackage[centering,includeheadfoot,margin=2cm]{geometry}
\usepackage{txfonts}

\parindent0em
\author{Author}
\title{Title}
\date{\today}

\begin{document}
  \maketitle
\end{document}

If in your case there is no vertical centring, please create another MWE that shows the undesired effect.


Best regards and welcome to the board

Thx for the quick answer!

I had article as class, not report. When i changed to report its nice and centered.

But now the chapter numbering starts at 0!
Need to change the sections to chapter and so on...

Is there a way to get the same titlepage as in report for article?

This is information you should have given right at the beginning of your request.

Of course you can get a title page for the article class. Modify my MWE as follows.

Code: Select all

\documentclass[11pt,a4paper,titlepage]{article}
\usepackage[T1]{fontenc}
\usepackage[latin1]{inputenc}
%\usepackage[centering,includeheadfoot,margin=2cm]{geometry}
\usepackage{txfonts}

\parindent0em
\author{Author}
\title{Title}
\date{\today}

\begin{document}
  \maketitle
\end{document}

You should do some basic reading about LaTeX. Take a look at the first (sticky) topic in the LaTeX»General forum.
