\author

`\author{names}`

The `\author` command declares the author(s), where names is a list of authors separated by `\and` commands. Use `\\` to separate lines within a single author's entry -- for example, to give the author's institution or address.

NOTE: The milstd and book-form styles have re-defined the `\maketitle` command. The `\title` declaration is the only command that has any meaning.

A footnote for an author is produced with the `\thanks` command.
