I am not new to LaTex/XeLaTeX, but, I am new to the TikZ world, I want to put the number page and the name of the book (or what ever) as this example: http://www.insecurityinsight.org/files/humanitarianexchange047.pdf, the number of the book is inside a red square, and the title of the book is in the side and both of them are in the edge of the open pages (remember is a book). Could you help me?

Thank you in advance

  • Hi, welcome to the site! Could you edit your question to show what you've tried already, and where you get stuck? Questions that essentially say "Do this for me, please" are not really a good fit for this site. – Jake Nov 12 '13 at 11:51

    You can start looking at Headers and page numbers in external borders – Ignasi Nov 12 '13 at 11:51

    @Jake, thank you for welcome me to the site. I perfectly understand your point and I am shamed for this kind of question, but I don't know anything about TikZ (well, I used it for some drawing of electric circuits, but that's all), so I don't know how to start. But, I am not looking for "Do this for me, please", instead I'm looking for a answer of the type of Ignasi. I will take your advice in the following questions. – nanounanue Nov 12 '13 at 11:59
  • @Ignasi, thank you for your link. That would be an excellent place to start. – nanounanue Nov 12 '13 at 12:00
  • TikZ provides a very helpful current page node. In this answer I gave a very basic example. Other answers deal with solutions with PSTricks. so have a look! – Tom Bombadil Nov 12 '13 at 12:47
  • @Ignasi Implementing headers and page numbers n external borders alone isn't enough. The main reason why the document looks so good is because the height of the captions and the distance between the captions and the paragraphs are very carefully chosen so as not to break the rhythm of the leading (interline spacing). –  Nov 12 '13 at 13:54
  • I would make the color background separately (using Tikz) and use it for wallpaper for the text (using regular LaTeX). – John Kormylo Nov 12 '13 at 14:01
