Add a version number to the title of a LaTeX document

Question

The title section of my LaTeX documents usually look like

\\title{Title}
\\author{Me}
%\\date{}      %// Today\'s date will appear when this is commented out.

\         


        

Answer 1

If you need to display the version number only in the titlepage, you just need to modify it using

    \begin{titlepage}
    ...
    Version 1.x
    ...
    \end{titlepage}

after issuing the command \maketitle.

Otherwise, if you need to recall it in several times throughout the document, it's better to define a variable:

\def\Version#1{\def\version{#1}}

so that you define the version number with \Version{} and recall it with \version.
