I am trying to create a title block within an article and have
struggled with the \vspace command. I must confess I do not truly
understand this command since it seems to work haphazardly in my
experience. Sometimes it seems to work if I put a blank line before
it but that did not work in this case. I wish to encroach on the
white space at the top of a document to ensure I can fit a quote at
the bottom of the page. Can anyone direct me? Here is most of the
tex:
[...]
\begin{document}
\vspace{-0.5in}
\maketitle
i'm not entirely sure that this will work,
but there's one very clear problem --
\vspace is ignored/gets lost at the top of
a page. if you want to apply space to the
top of a page, use \vspace* .
