Figure 3.2: Sample title page and the text that produced it
up automatically. The author may select the break points himself with
the \\ command, that is, by giving \title{...\\...\\...}.
If there are several authors, their names may be separated with \and
from one another, such as \author{G. Smith \and J. Jones}. These
names will be printed next to each other in one line. The sequence
\author{Author1\\Institute1\\Address1
\and Author2\\Institute2\\Address2}
separately centers the entries, one per line, in each of the sets Author1,
Institute1, Address1 and Author2, Institute2, Address2 and places the two
blocks of centered entries beside each other on the title page.
Instead of printing the author names next to each other, one may
position them on top of one another by replacing \and with the \\
command. In this case, the vertical spacing may be adjusted with an
optional length specification [space] following the \\.
If the command \date is omitted, the current date is printed automatically
below the author entries on the title page. On the other hand,
the command \date{Date text} puts the text Date text in place of the
current date. Any desired text may be inserted here, including line break
commands \\ for more than one line of centered text.
