TeX - LaTeX Asked on December 23, 2020
I am attempting to create a design for an academic journal in LaTeX. In this, I have been having problems with creating a header that is specific for the first page of each article (etc), and was therefore led to try using a text block that adds relevant information such as title of journal, ISSN, Volume, issue number etc on the first page.
I have however been having problems getting the text block to allign with the header on the subsequent pages, and it seems to me like the text block moves vertically depending on size of title of an article, and whether or not there is an abstract present.
A MWE for a standard article would be:
documentclass[12pt,a4paper,twoside]{article}
usepackage[utf8]{inputenc}
usepackage[T1]{fontenc}
usepackage[overlay]{textpos}
usepackage{lipsum}
usepackage[footnotesep=0.5cm]{geometry}
raggedbottom
usepackage [english]{babel}
usepackage [autostyle, english = american]{csquotes}
MakeOuterQuote{"}
usepackage[backend=biber,authordate,sorting=nyt,cmsdate=both,maxcitenames=2,noibid]{biblatex-chicago}
usepackage{sectsty}
subsectionfont{centering normalfontscshape}
subsubsectionfont{centering normalfontscshape}
usepackage{etoolbox}
patchcmd{abstract}
{bfseriesabstractname}
{scshapeabstractname}
{}{}
usepackage{fancyhdr}
setlength{headheight}{15.2pt}
pagestyle{fancy}
renewcommand{headrulewidth}{0pt}
title{textsc{Test Article}}
author{Name Author
Affiliation
Email}
date{nodate}
begin{document}
setcounter{page}{81}
maketitle
begin{textblock}{10}(0,-4.3)
noindent footnotesize{emph{Journal: The Journal of...} (ISSN NNNN-NNNN)
Vol. 11, Nr. 1, (2020), 81--83
DOI: XXXXXXX}
end{textblock}
pagestyle{fancy}
lhead[thepage]{textsc{Author}}
rhead[textsc{Author}]{thepage}
chead{emph{Journal: The Journal of...}}
fancyfoot[C]{}
begin{abstract}
noindent lipsum[1]
end{abstract}
renewcommand{abstractname}{Keywords}
begin{abstract}
{centering Keyword – Keyword – Keyword – Keyword – Keyword
par
}
end{abstract}
subsection*{Introduction}
lipsum
end{document}
Creating this for the first two pages:
For editorials and similar texts I then tried to make a slightly amended version of the same file:
documentclass[12pt,a4paper,twoside]{article}
usepackage[utf8]{inputenc}
usepackage[T1]{fontenc}
usepackage[overlay]{textpos}
usepackage{lipsum}
usepackage[footnotesep=0.5cm]{geometry}
raggedbottom
usepackage [english]{babel}
usepackage [autostyle, english = american]{csquotes}
MakeOuterQuote{"}
usepackage[backend=biber,authordate,sorting=nyt,cmsdate=both,maxcitenames=2,noibid]{biblatex-chicago}
usepackage{sectsty}
subsectionfont{centering normalfontscshape}
subsubsectionfont{centering normalfontscshape}
usepackage{etoolbox}
patchcmd{abstract}
{bfseriesabstractname}
{scshapeabstractname}
{}{}
usepackage{fancyhdr}
setlength{headheight}{15.2pt}
pagestyle{fancy}
renewcommand{headrulewidth}{0pt}
title{textsc{Editorial}}
date{nodate}
begin{document}
setcounter{page}{1}
maketitle
begin{textblock}{10}(0,-4.3)
noindent footnotesize{emph{Journal: The Journal of...} (ISSN NNNN-NNNN)
Vol. 11, Nr. 1, (2020), 1
DOI: XXXXXXX}
end{textblock}
pagestyle{fancy}
lhead[thepage]{}
rhead[]{thepage}
chead{emph{Journal: The Journal of...}}
fancyfoot[C]{}
subsection*{}
lipsum
bigskip
bigskip
begin{tabular*}{textwidth}{c @{extracolsep{fill}} ccc}
Editor & Editor & Editor
end{tabular*}
end{document}
This however puts the text block in a higher vertical position:
Is there any way I can get the text block to always be on the same vertical position in every file? Preferably to align with the headers for the subsequent pages.
I'd stick with inserting the content in the header rather than trying to position content on the page using something like textpos
. Below is an option where you define two different pages styles, one for the first page - firstpagestyle
- and one for all subsequent pages - otherpagestyle
.
documentclass[12pt,a4paper,twoside]{article}
%usepackage[utf8]{inputenc}
%usepackage[T1]{fontenc}
usepackage{lipsum}
usepackage[footnotesep=0.5cm]{geometry}
%usepackage [english]{babel}
%usepackage [autostyle, english = american]{csquotes}
%MakeOuterQuote{"}
usepackage{sectsty}
subsectionfont{centering normalfontscshape}
subsubsectionfont{centering normalfontscshape}
usepackage{etoolbox}
patchcmd{abstract}
{bfseriesabstractname}
{scshapeabstractname}
{}{}
usepackage{fancyhdr}
fancypagestyle{firstpagestyle}{%
fancyhf{}% Remove header/footer
fancyhead[LO]{footnotesizesmash{begin{tabular}[t]{@{} l @{}}
emph{Journal: The Journal of ldots} (ISSN NNNN-NNNN)
Vol.~11, Nr.~1, (2020), 81--83
DOI: XXXXXXX
end{tabular}}}
fancyfoot[CO]{thepage}
renewcommand{headrulewidth}{0pt}% Remove header rule
renewcommand{footrulewidth}{0pt}% Remove footer rule
}
fancypagestyle{otherpagestyle}{%
fancyhf{}% Remove header/footer
fancyhead[LE,RO]{thepage}
fancyhead[C]{emph{Journal: The Journal of ldots}}
fancyhead[RE,LO]{textsc{Author}}
renewcommand{headrulewidth}{0pt}% Remove header rule
renewcommand{footrulewidth}{0pt}% Remove footer rule
}
pagestyle{otherpagestyle}
title{textsc{Test Article}}
author{Name Author

date{1900-01-01}
apptocmd{maketitle}% <cmd>
{thispagestyle{firstpagestyle}}% <appendix>
{}{}% <success><failure>
raggedbottom
begin{document}
setcounter{page}{81}
maketitle
begin{abstract}
noindentlipsum[1]
end{abstract}
renewcommand{abstractname}{Keywords}
begin{abstract}
centering Keyword -- Keyword -- Keyword -- Keyword -- Keyword
end{abstract}
subsection*{Introduction}
lipsum
end{document}
firstpagestyle
sets the header using a [t]
op-aligned tabular
that has no height (thanks to smash
). Subsequent page headers (under otherpagestyle
) are managed in the usual way.
