subtitles in tufte-latex

[David Cross]

Is it possible to have a subtitle in the tufte-book class? I am not
sure it matters, but I see that one of ET's books has a subtitle.

TIA

Hello, David.

It's not possible in the current version, though it is on my to do
list for the next version.

For now, you'll have to override the title page. You can paste the
following into the preamble of your document (the section between
\documentclass{tufte-book} and \begin{document}) and then add your
subtitle and modify things as you like.

\renewcommand{\maketitlepage}{%
\cleardoublepage%
{%
\sffamily%
\begin{fullwidth}%
\fontsize{18}{20}\selectfont\par\noindent\textcolor{darkgray}{\allcaps{\thanklessauthor}}%
\vspace{11.5pc}%
\fontsize{36}{40}\selectfont\par\noindent\textcolor{darkgray}{\allcaps{\thanklesstitle}}%
% ADD SUBTITLE CODE HERE
\vfill%
\fontsize{14}{16}\selectfont\par\noindent\allcaps{\thanklesspublisher}%
\end{fullwidth}%
}
\thispagestyle{empty}%
\clearpage%
}

Kevin and David,
Here's my title page override code, from tufte-common-local.tex:

\newcommand{\subtitle}[1]{
\gdef\@subtitle{#1}
}

\renewcommand{\maketitlepage}[0]{%

\cleardoublepage%
{%
\sffamily%
\begin{fullwidth}%
\fontsize{18}{20}\selectfont\par\noindent\textcolor{darkgray}{\allcaps{\thanklessauthor}}%
\vspace{11.5pc}%

\fontsize{24}{40}\selectfont\par\noindent\textcolor{darkgray}{\allcaps{\thanklesstitle}}%
\ifdefined\@subtitle
{\fontsize{18}{40}\selectfont\par\noindent\textcolor{darkgray}{\allcaps{\@subtitle}}}%
\fi

\vfill%
\fontsize{14}{16}\selectfont\par\noindent\allcaps{\thanklesspublisher}%
\end{fullwidth}%
}
\thispagestyle{empty}%
\clearpage%
}

Hope this is helpful (and hope I haven't left out any important bits,
since I wrote this 2 or 3 months ago..)
