TeX - LaTeX Asked by PietroP on June 1, 2021
I am new to LaTex.
I’m trying to create a thesis cover according to my University’s guidelines. I think I am almost there. However, I need some help:
date{today}
I don’t get the date.I have tried my best and got this with my code:
documentclass[a4paper,12pt]{report}
usepackage {graphicx}
graphicspath{{./images/}}
begin{document}
begin{titlepage}
begin{center}
vspace*{1cm}
includegraphics[width=0.4textwidth]{novalaw}
bigskip
textbf{Author's Name}
vspace{0.5cm}
vspace{1.5cm}
textbf{Thesis Title}
end{center}
begin{flushright}
vfill
Thesis to obtain a Master's Degree in Law, in
the speciality of…
vspace{0.8cm}
end{flushright}
begin{center}
Supervisor:
Name
end{center}
date{today}
end{titlepage}
end{document}
My University requires like this:
Many thanks.
The following redefines maketitle
(you might want to hide the definition in some other file to keep your main file clean). This is just a sketch of your title page and might need some more fine tuning to match your formatting better, but it should get you started.
I defined the macros myspecialty
to set the specialty. It takes an optional argument defining the thesis type (should be either doctoral
or master
). The mandatory argument can be used to specify the specialty. If the value is security
the "Doctoral Degree in Law and Security" is used.
The other macro I defined is mysupervisor
to directly specify the supervisor.
You can use the normal macros author
, title
, and date
to define those elements.
You might want to change the example-image-duck
to the actual logo you need to use.
