RE: Authors in preamble using \twoauthors

2008-03-19 Thread Phillip Ferguson
Paul,

Yes I understand where you are coming from. I can see the conference people
being up in arms about an additional author. I have emailed them anyway so
I'll just wait for the reply.

Just for my own knowledge how would I go about creating a \threeauthors?
Can I just copy the \twoauthors and modify the table columns and add it to
the spconf.sty?

Thanks again!

 Hey all,

 This time it's the authors.

 In spconf.sty the comments for \twoauthors are:



 - use \twoauthors{author1}{address1}{author2}{address2}

 % for two (or more) authors with two separate addresses

 %- note: no need for \author nor \date

 %- optional: can use \thanks{xx} within \name or \twoauthors,

 % asterisk is not printed after name nor in footnote

 %- optional: can use \sthanks{xx} after each name within \name or

 % \twoauthors if different thanks for each author,

 % footnote symbol will appear for each name and footnote





  And it defines \twoauthors:



 [EMAIL PROTECTED]

[EMAIL PROTECTED]@[EMAIL PROTECTED]

 {\em #1} \\ \\

 #2\relax

\end{tabular}\hskip [EMAIL PROTECTED]@{}}

 {\em #3} \\ \\

 #4\relax

 \end{tabular}}}



 I have no idea of latex but I guess that this must set the layout and
 parameters for only 2 author areas where only one address is allowed. My
 problem is that I need 3 authors with three distinct addresses.

 Can I modify this piece of code to spread 3 authors evenly across the
page?
 I suspect I may have to reduce the text size to accommodate all 3.



 Does anyone know how to set this up correctly, or by doing this am I
 violating the template?




Have you considered summarily dropping one of your co-authors?  :-)

The \twoauthors macro uses a pair of side-by-side tables to space out
the authors and institutions, so hypothetically you could cobble
together a \threeauthors macro along similar lines but with three
tables.  You likely would have to reduce the font size, which might
easily offend the conference people.  Before doing that, I would suggest
contacting them and asking how they would recommend you handle it.
