ACM Sigplan provides \authorinfo
for author information. Currently, I have 4 authors. I would like to format in two lines each with two authors. However, by default, it formats in two lines, line 1 with three authors, and line 2 with one author in the middle. How can I change this?
\authorinfo{Author 1}
{Aff 1}
{email 1}
\authorinfo{Author 2}
{Aff 2}
{email 2}
\authorinfo{Author 3}
{Aff 3}
{email 3}
\authorinfo{Author 4}
{Aff 4}
{email 4}
