[Orgmode] Latex custom Title page question

2011-02-23 Thread Luke Crook 
I have successfully created a custom title page which I have used to 
replace the default version created by org-mode. 
Per http://orgmode.org/worg/org-tutorials/org-latex-export.html 
11.2 Titles and Title Page Layout.

However my title page contains the document title, date and version number. 
I would rather not have to create a separate custom-title.tex 
for each document that I create. 

Can I specify the Title etc. in org-mode in such a way that it can be
 included in the custom Title page?

I have tried moving custom-title.tex into org-mode sandwiched 
between #+BEGIN_latex / #+END_latex commands, but this does not put 
the title on the first page.

I have included a blank 

#+TITLE 

and 

#+OPTIONS: toc:nil

but this still generates an empty page before my custom title page. 

Thanks,
-Luke

Aloha Luke,

IIUC, you would like to have a custom title page that picks up the  
title, author, date, etc. from the Org-mode file.


One way to do this is to keep the LaTeX variables for title, author,  
date, etc. in your new \maketitle, then put it in a new LaTeX class  
file that can be registered with Org-mode.


I have this in my custom class file:


\renewcommand\@maketitle{%
  \newpage
  \null
  \begin{center}%
  \let \footnote \thanks
{\usebox{\FIRM}}%
\vskip 3em%
{\LARGE \@title \par}%
\vskip 1.5em%
{\large
  \lineskip .5em%
  \begin{tabular}[t]{c}%
\@author
  \end{tabular}\par}%
\vskip 1em%
{\large \@date}%
  \end{center}%
  \par
  \vskip 1.5em}


where \FIRM is a company logo and @title, @author, and @date  
correspond to Org-mode's #+TITLE:, etc.

Hi Luke,

Another (quick) fix given what you already have, is to renew the maketitle
command to be empty:

#+LATEX_HEADER: \renewcommand{\maketitle}{}

Then after this you could put your #+begin_latex ... #+end_latex block to
generate the page.  Obviously, this works only for the current =org-mode=
file, and Tom's suggestion of creating your own latex class would be better
in the long run.

HTH,
Chris
