Page Layout ⇒ Part Formatting

[the_blue_note]

Hello to all,
this is probably an easy question, but it's driving me crazy and I've already spent a few hours researching with no success. Thanks in advance if anyone can help me.
I'm writing a book and I would like to change a the way Latex typesets the \part title page. More precisely, I would like that the roman numeral appears in the same line than the parttitle (like: I. Introduction) without the "part" and that this line is flushed right and and a bit higher that the centre of the page, where Latex places it by default.
All I've got is to hide the "part" using \renewcommand{\partname}{} , but that's all
Thanks a lot for your time. Any help will be much appreciated.
Regards.
Pablo

Here's something to get you started:

Code: Select all

\usepackage{titlesec}
\titleformat{\part}[hang]
  {\normalfont\Huge\bfseries\centering}{\thepart.}{1em}{\Huge}
\titlespacing*{\part}{0pt}{-19pt}{0pt}

I used this for \chapter in one of my documents, so you probably need to find a way to also vertically center this one.

Frits,
thanks a lot! That was exactly what I needed. I used \raggedleft instead of \centering and the result is exactly what I was looking for. Many, many thanks.
Just one more question.Is there some way to get rid of the page number in those pages I've just created?
Thanks!

Add \thispagestyle{empty} right after the \part{...} command?

Frits,
thanks again. It wasn't exactly like that- it didn't work at first, so what I did instead was to include \thispagestyle{empty} inside the \titleformat you pointed in the previous post, and it took away the number for all the parts titlepages.
In any case, millions of thanks for pointing in the right direction.
Cheers,
Pablo
