Title page design

Post by absam82 »

Hi
I've done with my dissertation and there are few miscellaneous problems, particularly related to title page:
- how can I insert uni logo at the top left hand side corner. I tried to play about with it and used the traditional \includegraphics and etc right after \author...but it didn't work.
- how can I delete the page number from the title page, currently it is "1"

I'm using WinEdt. I have not created the titlepage enviroment. Instead, I have typed in everything within the \author{}.

Any help will be appreciated...
Thanks

Recommended reading 2024:

LaTeXguide.org • LaTeX-Cookbook.net • TikZ.org

NEW: TikZ book now 40% off at Amazon.com for a short time.

And: Currently, Packt sells ebooks for $4.99 each if you buy 5 of their over 1000 ebooks. If you choose only a single one, $9.99. How about combining 3 LaTeX books with Python, gnuplot, mathplotlib, Matlab, ChatGPT or other AI books? Epub and PDF. Bundle (3 books, add more for higher discount): https://packt.link/MDH5p

It's quite recommendable to use the titlepage environment because things would become most easy. The example below creates no page number on the title page.

Code: Select all

\documentclass[11pt,a4paper,english]{report}
\usepackage[T1]{fontenc}
\usepackage[utf8]{inputenc}
\usepackage{babel}
\usepackage{blindtext}

\title{Title page design}
\author{absam82}

\begin{document}
  \maketitle

  \tableofcontents

  \Blinddocument
\end{document}
For more specific help it will be require more details such as the used document class by a minimal working example (MWE).

In this case how can I rectify this issue and place the topic in the "WinEdt" forum at this stage?

Thank you for your advise. Due to the time constraint that I'm in, I decided to do the titlepage in word format which turned out to be easier for me now.

You not a bit. That's left to a moderator. And by the way, this question is neither related to LyX nor to WinEdt. It's a question concerning page layout.

If this represents a solution for you, you should have marked the topic accordingly as you have already been directed. If not, a MWE is still missing.

In case you haven't found a solution, nothing has happened in this regard.

And also in this regard nothing has happened until now. So, please take action and mark the concerned topics subsequently.
