How to determine where I am on a page.
I have hacked up my own class file. It does 95% of what I set out to achieve. However, I am stuck with the final bit of polish. I have an element that I don't want to appear at the bottom of a page. Therefore, I need to test to find out how far down the page I am, and if more than 75% of the page is used, insert a \newpage. Any pointers of where to find a solution to this would be appreciated. -- Philip Stubbs

\title before \begin{document}
Hi,
I have developed my own LaTeX class file, based on the article class.
It has been developed over some time, but is now working just how I
like. My documents start as follows
\documentclass[draft,approved]{danrep}
\title{This is a test report title that I will make quite long.}
\repnum{10-00}
\author{Philip Stubbs}
\date{2010-01-12}
\begin{document}
\section{Introduction}
Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, consectetur adipiscing elit. Suspendisse
justo nisi, sagittis pharetra sagittis id,
I now would like to go the next step, and leave vim and use LyX as my
editor. I started looking at the *.layout files to see what I need to
do. What I cant seem to work out is how to place the \title etc before
the \begin{document}
Any suggestions would be welcome. I don't really want to start
chopping about the class file at this stage.

\begin{document}
The next LyX version will support this structure, but why have you chosen to
have the title before \begin{document}? I mean the article class have it
behind \begin{document} and I cannot see the benefit of changing this.
There may well be no benefit at all. It is just the way it turned out.
I have been developing my class file for some time. It is more
recently that I decided to try and start using LyX. When I first
started using LaTeX, the hacking made the boring job of writing
reports more fun. Now I am more inclined to want to just do the
report, so I need to streamline the process, but there is no way I
could cope with going back to Word. :-)
Anyhow, since I can't be bothered to wait for version 2.0, I spent a
quick half hour redoing my class file. It looks like I am 95% there,
so will be able to start work on my LyX layout soon.
Thanks for the help.
