[Tex/LaTex] Problem using \begin{titlepage}

Question

I want to make a front-page to something I've been writing in LyX but everytime I use \begin{titlepage}\text {This is a sample title}\end{titlepage}, I get in the first page this line only instead of real title:

How can I solve it?

Answer 1

Here is an example LyX file with a title page in Hebrew. (Just copy the following to a file and then open that file in LyX 2.0.x).

And here is the resulting PDF on my system:

Finally, here is the LaTeX that is produced from that .lyx file:
