* Latex custom Title page question

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.

hth,
Tom

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
