[Tex/LaTex] Creating the most basic title page.

Question

I want to create the most basic title page where by it only contains my name and the name of the project.
I am using share latex.

This is what I have put.

\title{blah blah}
\Author{Blah blah}
\begin{document}
\maketitle

This does not work, what do I need to do?

Answer 1

You said you are using share latex. When you create a new project in share latex, it automatically gives you some basic code:

\documentclass{article}
\usepackage[utf8]{inputenc}

\title{blah blah}
\author{Blah blah }
\date{August 2016}

\begin{document}

\maketitle

\section{Introduction}

\end{document}

Then, all you have to do is delete \section{introduction} (and, if you want, delete the date line) and you get

\documentclass{article}
\usepackage[utf8]{inputenc}

\title{blah blah}
\author{Blah blah }

\begin{document}

\maketitle

\end{document}

Which gives

So, there are a couple things to point out here:

1. In your code, you wrote \Author, instead of \author...that was the main problem.
2. If you want a specific title page, you're going to have to either use a different \documentclass or do as Au101 said, and put \documentclass[titlepage]{article}, which, assuming the previous code, gives

Hope this helps!
