Today, we will try to explain how to create a title page in LaTeX. While creating the title page, we will also explain how to install the different language packages. We will also learn how to add a abstract. The title page of a document is a page that provides detailed information about the document. First of all, this page contains the author’s name and surname. Additionally, the title and presentation date of the study are also available on this page. Additionally, an abstract section containing what is covered in the study is located under the title page.
An Example of Title Page
As we know, when starting to create an article, assignment or project with LaTeX, the basic expressions that can be found on the title page of the document are as follows:
\documentclass{article}
\begin{document}
\end{document}
To use the special characters in German, we need to add the following code to the preamble of the document:
\documentclass{article}
\usepackage[utf8]{inputenc}
\usepackage[german]{babel}
\begin{document}
\end{document}
Now let’s add the author, title and, if necessary, the date of the article to the title page. For these, we need to use author{}, title{} and date{} labels, respectively. These labels can be thought of as variables; the makeatitle label should be used to print all these to the screen. If we add these to our example, it will turn into a structure like the one below.
\documentclass{article}
\usepackage[utf8]{inputenc}
\usepackage[german]{babel}
\begin{document}
\author{\LaTeX Writing}
\title{Our nice title of article}
\date{\today}
\maketitle
\end{document}
Finally, we need to use the abstract environment to add the abstract part. In other words, we need to write the summary part between the \begin{abstract} and \end{abstract} expressions. If we include this environment in the example, we will have a set of code as follows.
\documentclass{article}
\usepackage[utf8]{inputenc}
\usepackage[german]{babel}
\begin{document}
\author{\LaTeX Writing}
\title{Our nice title of article}
\date{\today}
\maketitle
\begin{abstract}
Zwölf Boxkämpfer jagen Viktor quer über den großen Sylter Deich.
\end{abstract}
\end{document}
If you have reached this stage by trying it on your own computer, you should get a result like the one below.
That’s all for today’s lesson. If you find it challenging to write more complex formulas, feel free to leave a comment, and we will try to assist you. Our online course today was about writing LaTeX formulas. Another one of our courses explained how to number the equations you write. If you have any problems during the thesis, article, assignment, or project writing stage, feel free to ask us in the comments section below. You can also explore articles in the Course category to access similar materials. If you don’t have enough time to learn how to write articles with LaTeX, or even if you do, but prefer assistance, we can help you write your thesis, article, assignment, project, presentation, or any other document in LaTeX on your behalf, whether it’s handwritten or written in another text editor.
