White space

Post by lieselotter »

Hi,

I would like to make a page with only the title of the chapter that comes after. So it's like a title-page, with only "Deel I Literatuurstudie" on it.
The problem is, I would like to have this in the middle of my page, but it appears everytime at the top. I tried with \vspace{} but it isn't working...
How can I put this right?

I tried it like this:

\begin{titlepage}
\begin{center}
\fontseries{bx}
\fontsize{30pt}{21pt}
\selectfont
\textsc{Deel I \\ Literatuurstudie}\\
\end{center}
\thispagestyle{empty}
\end{titlepage}

You could simply use the \part command for sectioning your document.

Code: Select all

\part{Literatuurstudie}
The title would be centered on the page but I think this should be sufficient.


Best regards

I'm using already the sectioning with '\part':

In my mean document there is:
\markright{Literatuurstudie}
\input{Literatuurstudie2.tex}
\pagebreak

And in the document Literatuurstudie2.tex:

\addcontentsline{toc}{part}{Literatuurstudie}
\part*{Literatuurstudie}

So how can I make an extra titlepage than..?

Thanks for answering so quickly!

Hi Annelies,

\vspace doesn't show an effect at the beginning of the page. Use the starred form \vspace*. You could also use \vspace*{\fill} before and after a title to get it vertically centered.
