[BUG] `\date` not visible in `\titlepage{}` #76

Closed earnestma closed 2 years ago

earnestma commented 2 years ago

When \date{\today} or similar is set and then \titlepage is called, the date does not appear.

This is also present on the demos in this repository:

Here's a preliminary fix, but I have not tested this extensively.

(EDIT: the date font is smaller, so i think it looks better before subtitle and after author/ institution info)

Hey, first of all, thank you for starring the repository and bringing the number of stars to 100 :partying_face: and thank you for creating the issue! You are right. I prefer to have no date information on my title page and never thought about supporting it (and never tested it, as you can see :D )

Your patch looks good and I would be happy to take a PR if you like, otherwise, I would just copy the changes.

Just one thing, I would like to discuss. I think that the subtitle should have a larger font size to differentiate it from the 'metadata' but I personally would enforce it to the first line and push the other lines below that. Something like this:

(Although I would further tune the spacing to look more natural)

What are your thoughts?

I believe the subtitle's font is by default a bit larger than author/institute/date, so it definitely sounds good to have it on a separate line. I'll try to have a pull request within the next few days.
