TeX - LaTeX Asked by bhnn on December 2, 2020
For my thesis I’m using a popular template (MasterDoctoralThesis) that comes with a beautiful title page. I have to adhere to APA guidelines of 12 pt text and onehalf spacing, which are not the default settings for this template, and it stretches the content to almost 2 full pages.
Is there a way to make just this title page use 11 pt font and single spacing? Font size seems to have the largest impact, as using the singlespacing
environment from the setspace
package leads to little change. Changing the manually applied spaces in the code to make it all fit on one page makes everything look cramped, sadly. Using something like fontsize{11pt}{13pt}selectfont
inside the center
block had no effect.
The MWE below generates a mock-up page of how the design is supposed to look. You can simulate the problem by changing the font size to 12 pt and the singlespacing
block to onehalfspacing
.
documentclass[11pt]{article}
usepackage[
paper=a4paper,
inner=1in,
outer=1in,
bindingoffset=.5cm,
top=1in,
bottom=1in,
]{geometry}
usepackage{setspace}
usepackage{fontspec}
setmainfont{Times New Roman}
begin{document}
begin{singlespacing}
begin{center}
vspace*{.06textheight}

begin{minipage}[t]{0.6textwidth}
begin{flushright} large

end{flushright}
end{minipage}[3cm]
vfill
large textit{A thesis submitted in fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of DEGREE NAME}[0.3cm]
textit{in}[0.4cm]
SUBJECT NAME[2cm]
vfill
{large today}[4cm]
vfill
end{center}
end{singlespacing}
end{document}
You can to change [11pt]
to [12pt]
then in that title page just reduce the fonts one step so change huge
to LARGE
, LARGE
to Large
and change Large
to large
, then adjust any explicit lengths such as [1.5cm]
to whatever looks tight for your new design.
