Text Formatting ⇒ Title is long, no spacing when go to the next line.

[yan]

Hi Everyone,

Need help on title page. I build my own .sty for modify the titlepage.
When my title is too long, it should go the next line with some spacing but it doesnt spacing in my case. I use report.cls.

Code: Select all

\def\@id{\relax}
\newcommand{\id}[1]{\gdef\@id{#1}}
\def\@years{\relax}
\newcommand{\years}[1]{\gdef\@years{#1}}

\renewcommand{\maketitle}{
\null
\vfill
\thispagestyle{empty}
\begin{center}
{\rmfamily\LARGE \bf \@title}\\
\vspace{4cm}
{\rmfamily\LARGE \@author}\\
\vspace{1cm}
{\rmfamily\LARGE \@id}\\
\vspace{4cm}
{\rmfamily\LARGE \@years}\\
\vspace{1cm}
{\rmfamily\LARGE FACULTY OF ENGINEERING}\\
\vspace{1cm}
{\rmfamily\LARGE MULTIMEDIA UNIVERSITY}\\
\vspace{1cm}
{\rmfamily\LARGE \@date}\\
\vspace{1cm}
\end{center}
\cleardoublepage
\vfill
\null
}

Put the "\\" inside--->{\rmfamily\LARGE \bf \@title\\}, but dun know why?

Don't ask me why, but for me it works better when you use paragraph breaks rather than manual breaks, e.g., something like:

Code: Select all

\renewcommand{\maketitle}{
\null
\vfill
\thispagestyle{empty}
\begin{center}
{

\rmfamily\LARGE \bfseries \@title

\mdseries\vspace{4cm}%
\@author

\vspace{1cm}%
\@id

\vspace{4cm}%
\@years

\vspace{1cm}%
FACULTY OF ENGINEERING

\vspace{1cm}%
MULTIMEDIA UNIVERSITY

\vspace{1cm}%
\@date

\vspace{1cm}
}
\end{center}
\cleardoublepage
\vfill
\null
}

But probably both methods are non-ideal, and someone will come along and tell us why soon enough.
