Page Layout ⇒ Titlepage with textpos is treated as empty

[carandraug]

Hi,

I've managed to design the titlepage using only the textpos package. However, since all the text and images in the titlepage are inside textblocks, LaTeX seems to treat it as empty and what should be on the second page is placed on top of the titlepage. Here's a minimal example of what I mean

Code: Select all

\documentclass[a4paper,12pt,oneside,titlepage]{article}

\usepackage[absolute,showboxes]{textpos}
  \setlength{\TPHorizModule}{1mm}
  \setlength{\TPVertModule}{1mm}

\begin{document}

  \begin{titlepage}
    \begin{textblock}{52}(79,10)
      this should be alone in the titlepage
    \end{textblock}
  \end{titlepage}

  this should be the second page but is printed on top of the titlepage instead

\end{document}

If however, I add some text in the titlepage but don't place it on a texblock, then it works as expected.

I tried a \newpage after the end of titlepage but it doesn't work. Any help is appreciated.

Hi carandraug,

perhaps use

Code: Select all

\mbox{}\newpage

\vspace*{...} could also be useful.

Thanks, I found out about the \null command and it works by placing it inside the titlepage environment. That's enough for latex to not treat it as empty.

Hi carandraug,

if a problem is solved you could mark the topic as "solved" by editing the first post choosing the check mark as topic icon.

Done. I was looking for some sort of "Mark as solved" button but didn't found it. Thanks

Maybe we should introduce such a button - marking solved doesn't seem straight-forward now.
