Nice Part Title with Epigraph

Post by Francis »

Dear readers,

I'm writing a thesis containing several parts with the book class. I would like to have nice titles for the parts with an epigraph just below on the right. I already spend some hours on this problem without any success.

To be more precise, I would like something like:

### Beginning of part page ###

Part II
------------------------------ (a line)
The Title
------------------------------ (a line)
...............Epigraph text
.................Author




(hidden page number)
###### End of part page ######

Of course, the part must be referenced in the TOC.

I would be very grateful to any who gives me the LaTeX code to do that.

Best,

Francis

Nice Part Title with Epigraph

The epigraph package should be your friend in this case. As far as I remember this has been discussed here in the past. So a Forum Search should yield usable solutions.


Best regards and welcome to the board

Thanks for the quick answer.

I already looked at the epigraph package. But for the part I, I obtain a replication of the epigraph in the middle of the Introduction which is before part I. I don't know how to avoid that.

I used the code provided by gmedina.

About the nice title, I saw that the titlesec package could be a good choice. But it doesn't include an epigraph option.

Maybe there is a solution without package?

Best,

Francis
