I am using the amsart document class and I want to design the title page myself.

My problem is that the absence of the \maketitle command seems to break some things.

\documentclass[12pt]{amsart}
\usepackage{geometry}
\usepackage{amsmath,amsthm}
\usepackage{enumerate}
\usepackage{color}
\usepackage{todonotes}
\usepackage{graphicx}
\usepackage{verbatim}
\usepackage{hyperref}
\usepackage{etoolbox}

\begin{document}
\title{MyTitle}
\author{MyAuthor}
\begin{titlepage}
  My own title Page
\end{titlepage}
% \maketitle
\newpage
Rest of the document
\end{document}

My problem is that if there is no \maketitle, then the custom headers and footers of the amsart document class won't be displayed. Also, I am not sure if there is something else that is broken that I am currently missing.

Since this is my first post, I hope that I really have given a minimal working example. Feel free to suggest improvements in my post. Any help would be appreciated.

Edit: I have already checked the documentation of the \maketitle command in the amsart class but because of my limited knowledge this wasn't helpfull.

    Welcome to tex.sx. Is there any reason you can't copy the definition of \maketitle from amsart and redefine it to produce the style of title you want? – barbara beeton Aug 29 '23 at 16:07
  • This could very well be possible, but the problem is that I do not know which part of the \maketitle definition actually handles the optics of the title page. As I already said, I do not know much about most of the commands there. – dr01 Aug 29 '23 at 17:34

Import just the part of \maketitle that sets the headers. You also need to uppercase the title.

\documentclass[12pt]{amsart}

\makeatletter
\newcommand{\makeheaders}{%
  \begingroup
  \toks@@xp{\shortauthors}@temptokena@xp{\shorttitle}%
  \toks4{\def\{ \ignorespaces}}% defend against questionable usage
  \edef@tempa{%
    @nx\markboth{\the\toks4
      @nx\MakeUppercase{\the\toks@}}{@nx\MakeUppercase{\the@temptokena}}}%
  @tempa
  \endgroup
}
\makeatother


\begin{document}


\title{MyTitle}
\author{MyAuthor}


\begin{titlepage}
  My own title Page
\end{titlepage}


\makeheaders


\newpage
Rest of the document
\newpage
Rest of the document
\end{document}

  • Thank You very much! I am going to try this and come back with a response if this works for me. Also, are You aware of anything else that could break with regards to the amsart class if I am not using the \maketitle command? – dr01 Aug 29 '23 at 17:37
  • I just noticed that the title doesn't have the right shape. It should be all uppercase I think. – dr01 Aug 29 '23 at 18:37
  • @dr01 Now fixed. – egreg Aug 29 '23 at 21:15
  • Thank You, Now it works for me! – dr01 Aug 29 '23 at 23:34
