Page Layout ⇒ article | Problem with long Author Affiliation

[Siavash]

This is the code I'm trying to use:

Code: Select all

\author{Author1 \thanks{Corresponding Author's Address}\quad Author2 \quad Author3\\
\textit{\scriptsize{Authors' affiliation}}
}

The problem is authors' affiliation is very long and it doesn't fit in one line and in the output, most of it is out of the page. Inserting line breaks (with \\) in the affiliation makes the following errors:

Code: Select all

Missing } inserted \maketitle
Missing } inserted \maketitle
Missing \cr inserted \maketitle
Missing { inserted \maketitle
Misplaced \crcr \maketitle
Extra }, or forgotten $ \maketitle

Is there any way to fix this?

You should add a proper minimal example that reproduces the error. Otherwise the problem is not comprehensible.

Hi Siavash,

as Thorsten said, if you would post a small code example, which produces the error, it would be easy to help, otherwise you cannot be sure to get answers.

Anyway, in this case it's easy to fix. For example, you could use \parbox, such as

Code: Select all

\author{Author1 \thanks{Corresponding Author's Address}\quad Author2 \quad Author3\\
\textit{\scriptsize{\parbox{4cm}{\centering Authors' very long\\affiliation}}}
}
