Page Layout ⇒ flushright title for style article

[jbike]

Hi,

I would like to create an article with the abstract and title information pinned to the first page of the text- and flushright instead of centered. When I use the \author \date as well as the \maketitle command to generate my title information on the same page as my abstract and article, I cannot find a way to set the title information flushright. Does anyone know how to do this?

Thanks,
Jbike

You can do things like this by packing use of packages such as the abstract and titling packages. Here's an example:

Code: Select all

\documentclass{article}
\usepackage{lipsum} % used to auto-generate-text
\usepackage{titling}
\usepackage{abstract}

\title{Great Title Here}
\author{Roy G. Biv}
\date{\today}

\pretitle{\begin{flushright}\LARGE} % makes document title flush right
\posttitle{\end{flushright}}
\preauthor{\begin{flushright}\large} % makes author flush right
\postauthor{\end{flushright}}
\predate{\begin{flushright}\large} % makes date title flush right
\postdate{\end{flushright}}


\renewcommand{\absnamepos}{flushright} % makes word ``Abstract'' flushright
\setlength{\absrightindent}{0pt} % makes abstract go all the way to right
\setlength{\absleftindent}{0.2\textwidth} % makes abstract skip the left quarter of page
\renewcommand{\abstracttextfont}{\normalfont\small\raggedleft} % makes the abstract text flush right -- very ugly, don't do this!

\begin{document}
\maketitle
\begin{abstract}
\lipsum[1-2] % autogenerates abstract text; replace with yours
\end{abstract}
\lipsum[3-15] % auto-generate body text.
\end{document}

I recommend reading their documentation (titling / abstract) and similar ones on CTAN for more info.

Thanks so much for your quick reply. CTAN is the resource that I was missing. Perhaps now I can answer more of my own questions throughout the draft of my article, though I may post again if I run into trouble.

I cannot thank you enough.
