I'm using the document class book and I am designing my front page atm.
I try it like this:
\documentclass{book}
\begin{document}
\thispagestyle{empty}
\begin{center}
FRONT PAGE \\
\end{center}
\newpage
\chapter{First chapter}
Foo
\end{document}
But this way it isn't really centered.. It's a bit on the left side, isn't it?
I hope you know this issue and know how to fix it!
Thanks for your help!
book
class sets up large margins on alternate sides of the page for binding purposes. If you use\usepackage{showframe}
that will show you how the margins are set and you'll be able to see that yourcenter
environment is working. If you want to override thebook
class defaults and change the margins, you can use thegeometry
package.
