I am novice in latex. I downloaded the PhD thesis template from https://github.com/suchow/} and slightly amend it to suit the requirements of my university. Everything is working fine! Today, I decided to add the logo of my university to the cover page but it does not appear where it is supposed ...
When multiple titlepages are used, they produced an extra blank page before the table of contents. How to remove the extra blank page?
Here is the code:
\documentclass[12pt]{report}
\usepackage{titlesec}
\usepackage[centertags]{amsmath}
\usepackage{amsfonts}
\usepackage{amssymb}
\usepackage{am...
I am trying to create a title page with (in order):
logo, title, subtitle, author name, department, university and abstract (possibly with title bigger than subtitle).
This is my code but it does not work properly:
\documentclass[12pt,twoside]{report}
\begin{document}
\begin{titlepage}
\begin{ce...
@Johannes_B This one I would close as dup looking at the title, but as off-topic (problem is solved by loading a required package) looking at the content.
@Johannes_B This one should probably be answered (that trick with the color might not seem obvious).
@TeXnician I don't know what to do with the question. tex.stackexchange.com/questions/209993/… has an example with a graphic, but knowing how to use a graphic has nothing to do with titles.
@TeXnician But the colored toc has nothing to do with the titlepage.
@TeXnician From my point of view, it is wrong to use a template for Harvard University if you are not in Harvard. But this is my general don't use templates kind of thing.

@Johannes_B Maybe you want to add a more detailed answer.
@TeXnician Maybe you can add that learning how to present the research is just as important as learning how to get data and analyse it. But that would be specific to thesis writing and templates.
@Johannes_B Not really, that's valid for nearly everything (as the key point is: understand what you do -> understand what you should change and what should stay at the default).
@DavidCarlisle I prefer \öäüääääüüüü however... but I don't use luatex, so I have to stick to boring names like \dontdothis or \doubledollarstartsdisplaymath ;-)
I am working with the cv template here.
I want to remove any excess blank space. I have got rid of the quote but the education section will not shift up.
How can I shift the layout and each of the sections up?
@DavidCarlisle I use a keyboard switch accelerator to change between US and German layout. I actually rarely use the German layout, so no worries about suspending processes ;-)
@Johannes_B ... too localized perhaps, but that vtc reason has been removed years ago
@ChristianHupfer Unclear to me. The question could have been Do you know where my car keys are? and i could have suggested Have you checked your pockets?. Not helpful to anybody.
@JosephWright I'm assuming that the aim would be to drop " (so they don't show in \listfiles etc) to drop spaces around commas (so , longtable , works) but not drop other spaces, so if then fails even though it works now.
In computer programming, duck typing is an application of the duck test in type safety. It requires that type checking be deferred to runtime, and is implemented by means of dynamic typing or reflection.
Duck typing is concerned with establishing the suitability of an object for some purpose, using the principle, "If it walks like a duck and it quacks like a duck, then it must be a duck." With normal typing, suitability is assumed to be determined by an object's type only. In duck typing, an object's suitability is determined by the presence of certain methods and properties (with appropriate meaning...
@DavidCarlisle No wonder it's taking so long. There isn't enough body weight there to depress the keys on a regular keyboard. Or do you think it got one custom made?
@HaraldHanche-Olsen Of course I can't know this, true, but I have a strong intuition that the statement @DavidCarlisle being mean concerning anything related to ducks is true, so @PauloCereda seems to be right ;-)
@Johannes_B Voted to close as unclear. This may actually have been a bug (I vaguely remember a problem with xelatex which might have looked like this), but without knowing the beamer version and engine impossible to say...
@DavidCarlisle Oooh I like the description of the debugshow option to the tabulary package: Causes a lot of stuff to appear on the terminal. I find this invaluable, you may find it less so.

I tried scoping the solution provided by this answer to another question elsewhere to just the section I wanted it to affect by re-\letting \@afterindenttrue be its original value afterward, but that didn't work. I suspect that you can only apply that kind of trick to whole documents, because I tried it inside a document environment instead of in my preamble and froze pdflatex.
The indentfirst package obviously won't work, either, since its effects also apply to your entire document since package inclusion has to happen inside your document's preamble.
@RandomDSdevel indentfirst is exactly one line of code, you could obviously do equivalent locally at any point but indenting the first pararagraph or not is a style choice, it is highly unusual to change your mind about such a style mid document, what is the use case here?
@DavidCarlisle: texdoc simplified-latex, Chapter 2, Exercise 2. Using the quotation environment just…didn't feel right (y'know, since it adds extra non-hanging indentation on both the left and the right sides of the text it encloses.)
@RandomDSdevel your question isn't clear as you reference a question about all indentation but then discuss indentfirst which is about a different thing, the indentation just after section heads.
@RandomDSdevel the question asks how to customise those settings it doesn't ask that you do them all in the same document (which really makes no sense)
@DavidCarlisle Whoops, guess I didn't realize the difference in constraints might confuse people. I've got my answers to parts 'a,' 'b,' 'c,' and 'd' of that exercise separated into sections, so I meant with respect to the latter.
@RandomDSdevel latex did not have to constrain package loading to the start of the document, it does so mostly as a way of enforcing a level of document consistency, so the fact that it's inconvenient to change some of these settings mid document is by design and certainly it is not (or should not) be the intention of a beginners tutorial exercise to teach how to subvert that consistent design aim.
@DavidCarlisle: Ah, good point. Now why didn't that thought enter into my head…? (Shrugs.) In any case, I guess I'll either implement your suggestion to duplicate indentfirst's internals inside my document or just split it into four pieces, one for each of the exercise's sub-parts, and leave it at that.
