LyX ⇒ Title on 2 lines

[Michael86]

Hi,

I'd like to use the "Title" environnment to write my title on 2 lines.

To do so, I write the first title, then press alt+return and write the following title. But when I look at the pdf, the first title is invisible.

Thanks for your help.

PS: I don't want to use the "Subtitle" environnment

No idea why the first line vanishes, but use Ctrl + Enter instead of Alt + Enter.

Edit: I looked at the LaTeX code generated by Lyx. A title in LaTeX is specified with the \title{} command, and typeset by putting \maketitle in the document where the title should appear. When you hit Alt + Enter you start a new \title{}, instead of keeping in the same. Only the last instance of \title will be called by \maketitle.

What happens with Alt + Enter:

Code: Select all

\documentclass{article}
\begin{document}
\title{First line of title}
\title{Second line of title}\maketitle
\end{document}

What happens with Ctrl + Enter:

Code: Select all

\documentclass{article}
\begin{document}
\title{First line of title \\
Second line of title}\maketitle
\end{document}

As mentioned, \maketitle prints what is given in the \title-command, and when there are two, only the last one. Double backslash (\\) signifies a line break.

Thanks a lot, CTRL + ENTER works perfectly!
