Creating a Title Page

The title, author, and date of your document are information that various LaTeX commands can make use of, if you provide it. It is a good habit to get into to provide this information in the preamble of your document. (Remember that the preamble refers to any commands between the \documentclass command and the \begin{document} command.) The commands are:

1. \title{yourtitlehere}
2. \author{yournamehere}
3. \date{currentdate}

Given that you have provided this information in the preamble, you may or may not want a title heading. If you do, place a \maketitle command immediately after the \begin{document} command.

Practice: Create a document of three pages with a title heading, using the \pagestyle{plain} command.
