章节开头的“励志”引言

Question

我记得在章节开头看到过一个可以制作类似下图所示的引文的包，但我似乎再也找不到它了。

（此图来自 Harris、Hirst 和 Mossinghoff 所著的《组合学和图论》一书）

Answer 1

我认为这是包裹epigraph并且包含在 TeX Live 和 MiKTeX 发行版中。

\documentclass{book}
\usepackage{epigraph}
\begin{document}
\chapter{First Chapter}
\epigraph{I recall seeing a package to make quotes}{Snowball}
\end{document}

Answer 2

文档memoir类提供了“开箱即用”的命令\chapterprecis、\chapterprecishere和\chapterprecistoc：

\documentclass{memoir}

\begin{document}

\chapter{Graph Theory}
\chapterprecishere{``Begin at the beginning,¨ the King said gravely, ``and
go on till you come to the end: then stop."\par\raggedleft--- \textup{Lewis
Carroll}, Alice in Wonderland}

\end{document}

作为布伦特·朗伯勒在他的评论中提到，memoir还提供了一个\epigraph命令和一个epigraph环境：

\documentclass{memoir}

\epigraphfontsize{\small\itshape}
\setlength\epigraphwidth{8cm}
\setlength\epigraphrule{0pt}

\begin{document}

\chapter{Graph Theory}

\epigraphfontsize{\small\itshape}
\epigraph{``Begin at the beginning," the King said gravely, ``and go on till you
come to the end: then stop."}{--- \textup{Lewis Carroll}, Alice in Wonderland}


\end{document}

Answer 3

你也可以自己做：

\documentclass{book}

\makeatletter
\renewcommand{\@chapapp}{}% Not necessary...
\newenvironment{chapquote}[2][2em]
  {\setlength{\@tempdima}{#1}%
   \def\chapquote@author{#2}%
   \parshape 1 \@tempdima \dimexpr\textwidth-2\@tempdima\relax%
   \itshape}
  {\par\normalfont\hfill--\ \chapquote@author\hspace*{\@tempdima}\par\bigskip}
\makeatother

\begin{document}
\chapter{Graph Theory}

\begin{chapquote}{Lewis Carroll, \textit{Alice in Wonderland}}
``Begin at the beginning,'' the King said, gravely, ``and go on till you
come to an end; then stop.''
\end{chapquote}

\noindent The Pregolya River passes through the city once known as K\"onigsberg. In the 1700s
seven bridges were situated across this river in a manner similar to what you see
in Figure \ldots
\end{document}

上面的 MWE 提供了一个chapquote环境，它接受一个参数 - 引文的作者。它将引文缩进 2em（默认），但也可以通过可选参数进行更改：

\begin{chapquote}[30pt]{author}
  %... your quote
\end{chapquote}

默认设置为\itshape，其中“作者”右对齐。

Answer 4

为了完整起见，我提供了以下内容。这可能是您的替代方案。

\documentclass{book}
\usepackage{quotchap}

\begin{document}

\begin{savequote}[0.55\linewidth]
``Don't give up on your dreams, keep on sleeping.''
\qauthor{Higgs Boson (2012 -- present)}

``Stick together team and hold this position!''
\qauthor{Counter Terrorist (1999 -- present)}
\end{savequote}

\chapter{Introduction}

\end{document}
