Question

I was wondering if it is possible to write an introductory text on the page generated by \part{…} in LaTeX?

I have tried to insert text on it, but it will just generate a blank page before the text.

Regards,
Kenneth

Answer 1

You may define own macro \mypart.
For example

\def\mypart#1#2{%
  \par\break % Page break
  \vskip .3\vsize % Vertical shift
  \refstepcounter{part}% Next part
  {\centering\Large Part \thepart.\par}% 
  \vskip .1\vsize % Vertical shift 
  % Some text
  #2
  \vfill\break % Fill the end of page and page break
}

\part{Main}{Something about main...}
