General ⇒ Motto on the chapter page

[krz]

Hi!
Do you know how to put motto on the chapter page just after the chapter title? I've found an epigraph package could help but it's now unavailable on CTAN. Do you know any other methods?
Thanks for any help.

The epigraph package is still listed on CTAN and should be part of your TeX distribution. So I don't see the problem. You can check on the command line whether it is already installed.

Code: Select all

kpsewhich epigraph.sty

If this doesn't yield the full path to the package file, it is missing in the TeX directory tree and you have to install it subsequently by the package manager of your TeX distribution.

The main classes of KOMA Script (scrbook, scrreprt) support a \dictum command to do such epigraphs in chapter heads. The user guide has the details.

A Forum Search should yield appropriate solutions.

Thorsten,
thanks for so fast answer. You're right. Epigraph.sty has been installed. It works fine except one important thing. I need to use \footnote in the motto and when I use it inside \epigraph environment the footnote appears just under motto and not at the bottom of the page.
Do you know how to resolve it?

Seems as if the epigraph is inside a minipage. If the combination of \footnotemark and \footnotetext doesn't work, I'm afraid you are at a loss. Nevertheless you should try.

Thanks Thorsten! \footnotemark and \footnotetext work perfect! I had no idea about them. Now I know.
