4. TITLES\continuousmarksThe \thanks command uses the footnote counter, and normally the counter is zeroedafter the titling so that the footnote marks start from 1. If the counter should not be zeroed,then just specify \continuousmarks. This might be required if numerals are used as thethanks markers.\thanksheadextra{〈pre〉}{〈post〉}The \thanksheadextra command will insert 〈pre〉 and 〈post〉 before and after the thanksmarkers in the titling block. By default 〈pre〉 and 〈post〉 are empty. For example, to putparentheses round the titling markers do:\thanksheadextra{(}{)}\thanksmark{〈n〉}It is sometimes desireable to have the same thanks text be applied to, say, four out ofsix authors, these being the first 3 and the last one. The command \thanksmark{〈n〉} issimilar to \footnotemark[〈n〉] in that it prints a thanks mark identical to that of the 〈n〉’th\thanks command. No changes are made to any thanks in the footnotes. For instance, inthe following the authors Alpha and Omega will have the same mark:\title{The work\thanks{Draft}}\author{Alpha\thanks{ABC},Beta\thanks{XYZ} andOmega\thanksmark{2}}\maketitle\thanksmarkstyle{〈defn〉}By default the thanks mark at the foot is typeset as a superscript. In the class this is specifedvia\thanksmarkstyle{\textsuperscript{#1}}where #1 will be replaced by the thanks mark symbol. You can change the mark styling ifyou wish. For example, to put parentheses round the mark and typeset it at normal sizeon the baseline:\thanksmarkstyle{(#1)}\thanksmarkwidthThe thanks mark in the footnote is typeset right justified in a box of width\thanksmarkwidth. The first line of the thanks text starts after this box. The initialisationis\setlength{\thanksmarkwidth}{1.8em}giving the default position.\thanksmarksep66
