[Tex/LaTex] Make \maketitle span only one column in a twocolumn document

titlestwo-column

I want to write a landscape two column document. Does anyone know if there's a possibility to use the \maketitle command such that the title is only in the left column and does not span the whole page?

Best Answer

When using the geometry package to set your landscape and twocolumn mode, \maketitle behaves as expected:

enter image description here

\documentclass{article}
\usepackage[landscape,twocolumn]{geometry}% http://ctan.org/pkg/geometry
\usepackage{lipsum}% http://ctan.org/pkg/lipsum
\author{An author}
\title{A title}
\begin{document}
\maketitle
\lipsum
\end{document}
