Page Layout ⇒ titlepage models

[NELLLY]

Hi
This is the first time I'm preparing the title page of my report. Is there any package which offers different styles of the titlepage?
Thanks.

Thanks. But I didn'y know how to get the fontsite 500 CD collection and also I can't access to http://contrapunctus.net/fs500tex/. What can I do?

Hi,

you can use other fonts already available in your system. However, if you do want to use the fonts mentioned, you can try this link:

Thanks gmedina. I had access to this page, but I didn't know what steps to do? Please help me because I am pressed for
time.

Well, there's a INSTALL link with detailed instructions (according to the author). I would expect all the information needed for the installation to be there.

I cannot give further advise, since I haven't installed those fonts (nor I will).

I am interested by the style \titleTMB What can I do?

[gmedina]

You don't need any special font for that style; you can simply copy-paste the command definition in the preamble (changing the information about tile, author, publisher, etc.), adding the declaration of the \drop length and then you can use the \titleTMB in your document:

Code: Select all

\documentclass{article}

\newlength\drop
\newcommand*{\titleTMB}{\begingroup% Three Men in a Boat
\drop=0.1\textheight
\centering
\settowidth{\unitlength}{\LARGE THE BOOK OF CONUNDRUMS}
\vspace*{\baselineskip}
{\large\scshape the author}\\[\baselineskip]
\rule{\unitlength}{1.6pt}\vspace*{-\baselineskip}\vspace*{2pt}
\rule{\unitlength}{0.4pt}\\[\baselineskip]
{\LARGE THE BOOK OF CONUNDRUMS}\\[\baselineskip]
{\itshape puzzles for the mind}\\[0.2\baselineskip]
\rule{\unitlength}{0.4pt}\vspace*{-\baselineskip}\vspace{3.2pt}
\rule{\unitlength}{1.6pt}\\[\baselineskip]
{\large\scshape drawings by the artist}\par
\vfill
{\large\scshape the publisher}\\[\baselineskip]
{\small\scshape year}\par
\vspace*{\drop}
\endgroup}


\begin{document}

\titleTMB

\end{document}

To obtain a real title page (without page number) I would not declare this as a command but embed the relevant parts of the code in a titlepage environment.

Code: Select all

\documentclass[11pt,a4paper,english]{report}
\usepackage[T1]{fontenc}
\usepackage[utf8]{inputenc}
\usepackage{babel}
\usepackage[includeheadfoot,margin=2cm]{geometry}
\usepackage{blindtext}

\pagestyle{plain}
\newlength\drop

\begin{document}
  \begin{titlepage}
    \drop=0.1\textheight
    \centering
    \settowidth{\unitlength}{\LARGE THE BOOK OF CONUNDRUMS}
    \vspace*{\baselineskip}
    {\large\scshape the author}\\[\baselineskip]
    \rule{\unitlength}{1.6pt}\vspace*{-\baselineskip}\vspace*{2pt}
    \rule{\unitlength}{0.4pt}\\[\baselineskip]
    {\LARGE THE BOOK OF CONUNDRUMS}\\[\baselineskip]
    {\itshape puzzles for the mind}\\[0.2\baselineskip]
    \rule{\unitlength}{0.4pt}\vspace*{-\baselineskip}\vspace{3.2pt}
    \rule{\unitlength}{1.6pt}\\[\baselineskip]
    {\large\scshape drawings by the artist}\par
    \vfill
    {\large\scshape the publisher}\\[\baselineskip]
    {\small\scshape year}\par
    \vspace*{\drop}
  \end{titlepage}

  \blinddocument
\end{document}

This way the actual document will start with page number 1.

Thanks for your help. How can I insert the title of my report and the name of the authors.
