I'm still compiling my book in documentclass {book}. I've designed my own title page (to comply with submission guidelines) and the next page comprises a couple of quotes. I'd like the first quote to start about 30mm down the page, but obviously I don't want this setting to apply to other pages. Not sure how much code to supply:
Code: Select all
\documentclass[12pt,a4paper,oneside]{book}
\setlength{\parindent}{6mm}
\setlength{\headheight}{15pt} % to get rid of error message re 12pt
\usepackage{fancyhdr}
\pagestyle{fancy}
\fancyhead{}
\rhead{\small\emph{cashmore/ghosts/\thepage}}
\renewcommand{\headrulewidth}{0pt}
\fancyfoot{}
\linespread{1.6}
\usepackage{titlesec} %to decrease the space between sections
\titlespacing*{\section}%
{0em}% horizontal space to the left of section title, if any
{-1.5\baselineskip}% vertical space before section title, set to 0 lines
{-1\baselineskip}% vertical space after section title, set to 0 lines
\titlespacing*{\chapter}%
{0em}% horizontal space to the left of chapter title, if any
{2\baselineskip}% vertical space before chapter title, set to 0 lines
{1\baselineskip}% vertical space after chapter title, set to 0 lines
\titleformat{\chapter}{\normalfont\Large} %to reduce font in chapter title
{\chaptertitlename\ \thechapter}{20pt}{\Huge}
\usepackage{verse}
\usepackage{setspace} % for single line spaces later in document
\usepackage[none]{hyphenat} %to remove the right align
\raggedright
\setlength{\parindent}{6mm} %make sure this is after the raggedright
\begin{document}
\begin{titlepage} % custom alternatve to \title
blah title stuff
\end{titlepage}
\begin{quote}
\small{
blah first quote
\textsl{Carnacki the Ghost-finder}
William Hope Hodgson
\vspace{30mm}
blah second quote
\textsl{The Search for Joseph Tully}
William Hallahan
}
\end{quote}
\chapter{} Thanks in advance for any help. I hope this constitutes a proper MWE!
