| maketitle |
LaTeX's \maketitle command formats a title page with information provided by the user. Choosing this command from the LaTeX menu inserts a title page template into the current document just after the \begin{document} command.
| abstract | |||
| titlepage |
The abstract and titlepage environments contain the text of an abstract and title page, respectively. The latter differs from \maketitle in that the user is totally responsible for the format of the title page.
| pagestyle... | |||
| thispagestyle... | |||
| pagenumbering... |
The pagestyle and thispagestyle commands control what appears in the header and footer of the current document. The user is presented with a list of standard formats from which to choose. The pagenumbering command is for choosing the style of the page numbers, and is also interactive.
| twocolumn | |||
| onecolumn |
These are simple declarations that tell LaTeX to begin formatting the output in two or one column format, respectively.
