The \maketitle command generates a title on a separate title page -
except in the article style, where the title normally goes at the top
of the first page. Information used to produce the title is obtained
from the following declarations, which should precede the
\maketitle command.
The Titlepage Environment
allows you to design your own title page, rather than using that
created by the \maketitle command whose format is determined
by the document style.
