Is it possible to modify the title page from its default in LaTeX? Example:
\documentclass[pdftex,12pt,a4paper,english,dutch,leqno]{article}
\usepackage[utf8]{inputenc}
\usepackage{authblk}
%title and author details
\title{This is the title for my work}
\author[1]{Name1}
\author[1]{Name2}
\affil[1]{Address of author}
\renewcommand\Authands{ and }
\date{} %remove date
\begin{document}
\maketitle
\end{document}
I would like to alter this so that the title page was left orientated (i.e. not centered) and that the font size was the same as the remainder of the document. How can this be achieved?
Best Answer
Using
authblk
is a good idea, but it still exploits the standard\maketitle
command, which centers. So we have to patch it.As you can see, the title seems not to be sufficiently highlighted, so you may prefer to use something else in the third
\patchcmd
, for example\normalsize\bfseries
or\large
