Changing the title size of the thesis #34

Closed zavud closed 2 years ago

zavud commented 2 years ago

Is there a way to decrease the title size? My current title size is so big that there are 2 title pages whereas I want to have only 1 title page where everything is included.

Hi Zavud,

I just pushed an update that allows you to do this from index.Rmd with

### linespacing & font size ###
...
title-size: 22pt
title-size-linespacing: 28pt

Basically, this now sets a parameter \thesistitlesize in template.tex which propagates through to the title page specifications in ociamthesis.cls.

Dear @ulyngs, thanks for the response. Seems like decreasing the size of the title does not help me squeeze the text lines into one page. Is there a way to shrink the gap between the title of the thesis and start of the title page?

Just added the ability to set the spacing before and after crest on the title page from index.Rmd (bda78c1):

### title page
...
 gap-before-crest: 25mm
 gap-after-crest: 25mm

This very nicely solves the problem. Thanks a lot! :)
