General ⇒ Align three supervisors text in same row

[ziselos]

Hello,
I use the code below (in XeLatex) in order to import three thesis supervisors signature, name and title.

Code: Select all

\documentclass[a4paper]{report}
\begin{document}

Supervisors\\[12pt]
\newcommand\Sigline[4][t]{%
  \parbox[#1]{.333\linewidth}{\raggedright#2}%
  \parbox[#1]{.333\linewidth}{\raggedright#3}%
  \parbox[#1]{.333\linewidth}{\raggedright#4}%
}

  
  \Sigline{\textit{(Signature)}}{\textit{(Signature)}}{\textit{(Signature)}} \\[3\baselineskip]
  \Sigline{\dotfill}{\dotfill}{\dotfill}\\
  \Sigline{First Name}{First Name}{First Name} \\
  \Sigline{First Title}{Second Title}{Third Title} \\
  \end{document}

I hve 2 problems:
1) I use dotfill, so the dots have no space between them (as you can see if you run the code)
2) First two rows are not align (left) with the other two

The first problem I did't understand. If you want spaces between your dotfills, make the \parboxes a little smaller and put \hfill between them.
For your second problem, add \noindent before the first \parbox in your \Sigline definition: you've got a paragraph break before the first use of \Sigline (empty line(s)).

Hi!

To support this, what Rainer said, with some code:

Code: Select all

\documentclass[a4paper]{report}
\begin{document}
 
\noindent Supervisors\\[12pt]
\newcommand\Sigline[4][t]{%
  \noindent
  \parbox[#1]{.25\linewidth}{\raggedright#2}\hfill%
  \parbox[#1]{.25\linewidth}{\raggedright#3}\hfill%
  \parbox[#1]{.25\linewidth}{\raggedright#4}%
}
 
  \Sigline{\textit{(Signature)}}{\textit{(Signature)}}{\textit{(Signature)}} \\[3\baselineskip]
  \Sigline{\dotfill}{\dotfill}{\dotfill}\\
  \Sigline{First Name}{First Name}{First Name} \\
  \Sigline{First Title}{Second Title}{Third Title} \\
\end{document}
