Document without title

TeX - LaTeX Asked by yrodro on September 28, 2020

Sometimes I want to create a page of text without extra structure; no title, pagination, or other frills. What is the proper way to achieve this? For lack of a "correct" way, I just open a document class and leave empty title etc, then use thispagestyle{empty}, and then play with raising the text to fill the title space. This ought to be the wrong way to go about it, but I have not found a better way.

OP stated in one comment, that my answer/solution leaves

a lot of empty space where the title should have been

While I cannot reproduce this behavior with the code I've provided, a little bit of thinking has brought me to the conclusion that if one were after the most economical use of space on the page, KOMA-Script offers a simple (yet typographically undesirable) way to achieve it:

documentclass[DIV=16]{scrartcl}
usepackage{blindtext}

pagestyle{empty}
% pagenumbering{gobble}

begin{document}
    blinddocument
end{document}

KOMA empty page

I am not entirely sure, there is a »correct way« to typeset an empty page. I think, the closest you can get is by leaving out most of the usual information (such as title, author, date etc.). This will get rid of most of the things you don't want. With pagenumbering{gobble} you can suppress the pagenumbers and you should be good to go:

documentclass{article}
usepackage{blindtext}

pagestyle{empty}
% pagenumbering{gobble}

begin{document}
    blinddocument
end{document}

Behold, a no frills, no title, no author, no pagination document!

Just use pagestyle{empty} and type the text.

% pageprob.tex  SE 560441
documentclass{book}
%documentclass{report}
%documentclass{article}
usepackage{lipsum}

pagestyle{empty}
begin{document}

lipsum

lipsum

end{document}

All three classes just typeset the text with no page numbers or header/footer.

No title, no pagination, no sections, no document class, no list with bullets, or numbers, or spaces among items, no everything. Just raw text:

defnormalsize{normalfont}
RequirePackage{lipsum} % dummy text
textwidth16cmtextheight20cm
begin{document}
lipsum[1-80]  % dummy text
end{document}
