How to add a signature (author name, place, date) to a preface?
1,484
Solution 1
Here what I ended up wiþ:
\medskip
\begin {flushright}
Leandro Guimarães Faria Corcete \textsc {Dutra}, Brasília, fim da seca
de 2017.
\end {flushright}
Solution 2
The source of the German KOMA-Script guide uses
\bigskip\noindent
Markus Kohm, Neckarhausen bei eisigen Temperaturen im Januar 2017
at the end of the preface.
If you want the date of the LaTeX run, you can use
\bigskip\noindent
My Name, \today, somewhere
If you want several lines
\medskip
\begin{flushleft}
My Name\par
\today\par
Somewhere
\end{flushleft}
or
\medskip
\begin{flushleft}
My Name\\
\today\\
Somewhere
\end{flushleft}

I want to have a book preface signed with author (the prefaces’s, not the book’s), date and place name. I am using Koma-script, but could use a different package as it is quite a simple book. Does any package have a standard way of doing that?

barbara beeton about 6 yearswhy not just, at the end of the prefacer, add the extra information as, for example
\begin{flushright} author name\\date\\place\par\end{flushright}
. you probably want to add some\vspace
before the signature block. -
Johannes_B about 6 yearsLaTeX does provide the most basic stuff with the most basic layout. Every special layout stuff has to be done by the user. Though admittedly, some packages provide layout stuff.

Leandro about 6 years@barbarabeeton, it seems date and place are only scrlttr2 variables, while I am using scrbook. Not that I cannot write date and place as I want them explicitly.

Schweinebacke about 6 yearsIf you want to use
scrlttr2
variables with another class, you can use packagescrletter
. But if you just want the current date,\today
should be enough.

Schweinebacke about 6 yearsYou don't need the
\par
at the end.\end{flushright}
uses\endtrivlist
.\endtrivlist
automatically adds\par
in horizontal mode. -
Leandro about 6 yearsThanks, @Schweinebacke, you helped a lot to build my solution.
