Re: Puitting other things on title page
I guess I'm somewhat confused. Even when I use notitlepage in the class settings options, it still requires a title or it gives a latex error. With a title, most of the stuff ends up pushed to the second page, and it's not clear how to keep that from happening. I'm sorry, I'm sure I'm missing something really obvious. Nathan
Re: Puitting other things on title page
Hi, Yes, yes, YES! I've said it 1000 times -- the front matter is a one-off section that does not need consistency enforced by styles. The front matter is more like a poster than like a book, and hence I always create the whole thing with fine-tuned ERT. if you are able to read and write some (elementary ;-) LaTeX you could create an individual style fiel for your title page *** redefining @maketitle *** put it somewhere where (te)TeX can find it and include it in your LyX preamble. So you can avoid cluttering your LyX document with ERTs.
