### The style of document titles

The titling package provides a number of facilities that permit manipulation of the appearance of a `\maketitle` command, the `\thanks` commands within it, and so on. The package also defines a `titlingpage` environment, that offers something in between the standard classes' `titlepage` option and the `titlepage` environment, and is itself somewhat configurable.
