# How do I use the frontespizio package?

The [`frontespizio` package](http://www.ctan.org/tex-archive/macros/latex/contrib/frontespizio) typesets a frontispiece in a style suitable for a thesis at an Italian university. It produces the frontispiece as a separate PDF, which is then included back into the main project. This means that a special compile step is required, in order to build the frontispiece. To achieve this on Overleaf, you can use `\write18` to start the compile, like this:

```latex
\begin{frontespizio}
\Istituzione{Politecnico di Torino}
% ... your other information here
\end{frontespizio}
\IfFileExists{\jobname-frn.pdf}{}{%
\immediate\write18{pdflatex \jobname-frn}}
```

If the compile of the frontispiece fails, you can use the listings package and then put

```latex
\lstinputlisting{output-frn.log}
```

after the code above to get the log file into your main project, where you can read it and find the issue.

Note that if you're using the LuaLaTeX compiler, you will need to add

```latex
\usepackage{shellesc}
```

to your preamble for this to work, to make the `\write18` or `\ShellEsc` commands [available to LuaLaTeX](https://tex.stackexchange.com/a/366200/226).

# Agent Instructions
This documentation is published with GitBook. GitBook is the documentation platform designed so that both humans and AI agents can read, navigate, and reason over technical content effectively. Learn more at gitbook.com.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://overleaf-pro.ayaka.space/latex/questions-and-answers/39-how-do-i-use-the-frontespizio-package.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
