Page Layout ⇒ Text on 'part'-page

[rvanabeelen]

Hello,

I'm writing my thesis in Latex. I'm using the 'report' as document-class.
My thesis contains different parts, therefore I use the command \part to begin with this new part.

Actually I'd like to put some introduction text on my Part-page.
Does anybody know how to do that?

If I make a mbox within the part-command it does not seem to work.

Thanks!

Regards

Hi,

the epigraph package offers you this possibility. Refer to the package documentation, specially section 2.5 Epigraphs on Part Pages(page 6).

Have a look at the following simple example:

Code: Select all

\documentclass{report}
\usepackage{epigraph}

\makeatletter
  \let\@epipart\@endpart
  \renewcommand{\@endpart}{\thispagestyle{epigraph}\@epipart}
\makeatother        

\setlength\epigraphwidth{\textwidth}
\begin{document}

\epigraphhead[350]{Epigraph text epigraph text epigraph text epigraph text epigraph text epigraph text epigraph text epigraph text epigraph text epigraph text epigraph text epigraph text epigraph text epigraph text epigraph text epigraph text}
\part{A part with an epigraph}

\epigraphhead[350]{}
\part{A part without an epigraph}

\epigraphhead[350]{Epigraph text epigraph text epigraph text epigraph text epigraph text epigraph text epigraph text epigraph text epigraph text epigraph text epigraph text epigraph text epigraph text epigraph text epigraph text epigraph text}
\part{Another part with an epigraph}

\end{document}

This is exactly what I needed.
Thank you!
