When using the simple \maketitle command, one can use \title, \author, \date etc to define the corresponding contents. Now if one desires to for example make a custom title page, how can this information then be retrieved?

MWE:

\documentclass{report}
\title{My report}
\author{Me \and Myself}
\date{\today}
\begin{document}
\begin{titlepage}
%\thetitle?
%\theauthor?
%\thedate?
\end{titlepage}
Hello world!
\end{document}

something like this? How can I use @author, date, and title after maketitle? – cmhughes Jul 12 '13 at 08:40
@cmhughes Precisely, thanks, although the absence of \maketitle makes http://tex.stackexchange.com/q/10130/ perhaps more applicable. Let's consider this a duplicate. – Betohaku Jul 12 '13 at 08:53
ok, that's great, glad you got what you needed :) – cmhughes Jul 12 '13 at 09:14
Your question is actually really open. First of all, I suggest you to follow this nice documentation, which describes well on how to create a customised title page. In case you encounter further specific issues, please do not hesitate to ask us. – Header12 Jul 12 '13 at 08:41
