Page Layout ⇒ Different page layout for the title page

[yuri]

Hi,
I'd like to set a different margins for the title page and a different one for the rest.

Currently, I've the margins set by the geometry package which is very comfortable:

Code: Select all

\usepackage[a4paper,left=25mm,right=25mm,top=25mm,bottom=35mm]{geometry}

I have a separate .tex file only for the title page with the titlepage struct:

Code: Select all

\begin{titlepage}
...
\end{titlepage}

And I import it to the main .tex file via:

Code: Select all

\input{title.tex}

. The problem is that the imported title page inherits the margins from the main file and you can't set it separately.

I'd like to know what is the easiest/most comfortable/ way to set some other margins - left, right, top and bottom - for the title page.

Thanks in advance.

Since version 5 the geometry package allows to alter the page geometry within a document and restore the orginal one later on. So in your file »title.tex« some simple additions should already work.

Code: Select all

% file »title.tex«
\newgeometry{%
  a4paper,
  left=5mm,
  right=5mm,
  top=5mm,
  bottom=15mm
}
\begin{titlepage}
% title page content
\end{titlepage}
\restoregeometry
% end of input

See the package manual for details.
