The <code>@author</code> command may be used for a quotation in an <code>@quotation</code> block (see <a href="_0040quotation.html"><code>@quotation</code>: Block Quotations</a>); except for that, it is an error to use any of these commands outside of <code>@titlepage</code>. </p> <p>The <code>@title</code> command produces a line in which the title is set flush to the left-hand side of the page in a larger than normal font. The title is underlined with a black rule. The title must be given on a single line in the source file; it will be broken into multiple lines of output is needed. </p> <p>For long titles, the <code>@*</code> command may be used to specify the line breaks in long titles if the automatic breaks do not suit. Such explicit line breaks are generally reflected in all output formats; if you only want to specify them for the printed output, use a conditional (see <a href="Conditionals.html">Conditionally Visible Text</a>). For example: </p> <div class="example"> <pre class="example">@title This Long Title@inlinefmt{tex,@*} Is Broken in @TeX{} </pre></div> <p>The <code>@subtitle</code> command sets subtitles in a normal-sized font flush to the right-hand side of the page. </p> <p>The <code>@author</code> command sets the names of the author or authors in a middle-sized font flush to the left-hand side of the page on a line near the bottom of the title page. The names are followed by a black rule that is thinner than the rule that underlines the title. </p> <p>There are two ways to use the <code>@author</code> command: you can write the name or names on the remaining part of the line that starts with an <code>@author</code> command: </p> <div class="example"> <pre class="example">@author by Jane Smith and John Doe </pre></div> <p>or you can write the names one above each other by using multiple <code>@author</code> commands: </p> <div class="example"> <pre class="example">@author Jane Smith @author John Doe </pre></div> <p>A template for this method looks like this: </p> <div class="example"> <pre class="example">@titlepage @title <var>name-of-manual-when-printed</var> @subtitle <var>subtitle-if-any</var> @subtitle <var>second-subtitle</var> @author <var>author</var> @page … @end titlepage </pre></div> </div> <hr> <div class="header"> <p> Next: <a href="_0040titlefont-_0040center-_0040sp.html"><code>@titlefont</code>, <code>@center</code>, and <code>@sp</code></a>, Previous: <a href="_0040titlepage.html"><code>@titlepage</code></a>, Up: <a href="Titlepage-_0026-Copyright-Page.html">Title and Copyright Pages</a> [<a href="index.html#SEC_Contents" title="Table of contents" rel="contents">Contents</a>][<a href="Command-and-Variable-Index.html" title="Index" rel="index">Index</a>]</p> </div> </body> </html>
