Advanced Cover Page for LaTeX

Description

This LaTeX package allows to easily create cover pages for your documents. Indeed, LaTeX's standard cover page is rather unsuitable in many cases. Initially, this package has been written specifically for my school documents. However, I rewrote it in order to make it usable generically.

Key Features

  • A set of LaTeX declarations enable you to complete your cover page (e.g. \title{Title}, \author{John Doe}, \organization{ABC Company Inc.}, ...).
  • There are currently 2 cover page layouts, but you can create your own one.
  • Of course, this package can be used with LyX.

Examples

Download

Package advancedcoverpage.sty (version 2.1, 2006/05/21)

How to use this package?

  1. Import the package and choose a layout (the default is classic).

    \usepackage[layout=<classic|modern|custom>]{advancedcoverpage}

  2. Use the following declarations to complete your cover page. Note that none of them are mandatory.

    \header{}, \title{}, \subtitle{}, \subsubtitle{}, \thanks{}, \presentedto{}, \author{}, \organization{}, \date{}, \location{}, \footer{}

  3. Use the command \maketitle to generate the cover page.
  4. To create your own layout, you have to redefine \AdvancedCoverPageCustomLayout.
