[Tex/LaTex] Author names running over margins

affiliationauthblkmarginstitles

I am trying to write a paper that looks similar to the one in this question. I am using the naaclhlt2016 template (required), available here. Below is an MWE of what I have:

%
% File naaclhlt2016.tex
%

\documentclass[11pt,letterpaper]{article}
\usepackage{authblk}
\usepackage{naaclhlt2016}
\usepackage{times}
\usepackage{latexsym}

\naaclfinalcopy % Uncomment this line for the final submission

\newcommand\BibTeX{B{\sc ib}\TeX}


\title{Instructions for NAACL HLT 2016 Proceedings - This stays within the margins}


\author[1]{Author 1 who has a very very long name}
\author[2]{Author 2 who also has a very very very long name}
\author[1]{Author 2 who has a very very very long name}
\affil[1]{Department of Linguistics, University}
\affil[2]{School of Medicine, University}

\renewcommand\Authands{ and }

\date{}

\begin{document}

\maketitle

\end{document}

The output looks as follows:

How can I get the author names to stay within the margins?

EDIT: My actual article has the following libraries loaded.

\documentclass[11pt,letterpaper]{article}
\usepackage{authblk}
\usepackage{naaclhlt2016}
\usepackage{times}
\usepackage{latexsym}
\usepackage{graphicx}
\usepackage{booktabs}
\usepackage{amssymb}
\usepackage{amsmath}
\usepackage{apacite}

You can redefine the used command \outauthor to print the author(s). Add to your preamble the following code (change p{13cm} to the value you need):

\makeatletter
\renewcommand\outauthor{
    \begin{tabular}[t]{>{\centering}p{13cm}} % <========================
    \ifnaaclfinal 
         \bf\@author
    \else 
        % Avoiding common accidental de-anonymization issue. --MM
            \bf Anonymous NAACL submission
    \fi
    \end{tabular}}
\makeatother

Command >{\centering} is used to get a centered list of authors and affiliations. You have to call package array for this.

With the following MWE

\documentclass[11pt,letterpaper]{article}
\usepackage{authblk}
\usepackage{naaclhlt2016}
\usepackage{times}
\usepackage{latexsym}
\usepackage{array} % for >{\centering}

\naaclfinalcopy % Uncomment this line for the final submission

\makeatletter
\renewcommand\outauthor{
    \begin{tabular}[t]{>{\centering}p{13cm}} % <==========================
    \ifnaaclfinal 
         \bf\@author
    \else 
        % Avoiding common accidental de-anonymization issue. --MM
            \bf Anonymous NAACL submission
    \fi
    \end{tabular}}
\makeatother

\newcommand\BibTeX{B{\sc ib}\TeX}


\title{Instructions for NAACL HLT 2016 Proceedings - This stays within the margins}


\author[1]{Author 1 who has a very very long name}
\author[2]{Author 2 who also has a very very very long name}
\author[1]{Author 2 who has a very very very long name}
\affil[1]{Department of Linguistics, University}
\affil[2]{School of Medicine, University}

\renewcommand\Authands{ and }

\date{}

\begin{document}

\maketitle

\end{document}

you get the result:

[Tex/LaTex] Remove affiliation from author

The entire list of authors is stored in \AB@authlist, while the superscripted affiliations are provided by \textsuperscript (note the trailing space!). As such, you can use \printauthorlist:

\newcommand{\printauthorlist}{{%
  \expandafter\let\csname textsuperscript \endcsname\@gobble% Remove \textsuperscript 
  \AB@authlist}% Print list
}

It temporarily sets \textsuperscript to \@gobble, which just gobbles its argument (thereby removing the superscripted notation).

Here's a complete MWE:

enter image description here

\documentclass{article}
\usepackage[noblocks]{authblk}% http://ctan.org/pkg/authblk
\usepackage{fancyhdr}% http://ctan.org/pkg/fancyhdr
\makeatletter
\newcommand{\printauthorlist}{{%
  \expandafter\let\csname textsuperscript \endcsname\@gobble% Remove \textsuperscript 
  \AB@authlist}% Print list
}
% Define \institutes command    
\def\@institutes{}
\renewcommand\@institutes{\AB@affillist}
%   HEADERS AND FOOTERS
\renewcommand{\headrulewidth}{0pt}% No header rule
\fancyfoot{}% Clear footer
\fancyfoot[R]{\printauthorlist}
\pagestyle{fancy}
\makeatother
\title{Title}
\author{author1}\author{author2}\affil{affil1}
\author{author3}\author{author4}\affil{affil2}
\begin{document}
\maketitle\thispagestyle{fancy}

This is some text.
\end{document}

You are required to use \csname textsuperscript \endcsname in order to capture the trailing space in the control sequence definition.

[Tex/LaTex] How to print the corresponding author

Starting from the code you already have, you could achieve your desired output as follows:

\documentclass[twocolumn]{article}

\usepackage[noblocks]{authblk}

\makeatletter
\def\@correspondence{}
\def\correspondence#1{%
     \gdef\@correspondence{\textbf{\textit{*Correspondence:}}\newline%
       \raggedright  #1}}

\def\@maketitle{%
  \newpage
  \null
  \vskip 50pc%
\vbox{\hbox to 0pt{\vbox to 0pt{\vskip -40pc%
\begin{minipage}[!b]{10pc}
{\@correspondence\par}%
\end{minipage}
\hspace*{12pt}
\begin{minipage}[!b]{31pc}  
  \let \footnote \thanks
    {\@title \par}%
    \vskip 1.5em%
    {\large
%      \lineskip .5em%
      \begin{tabular}[t]{l}%
        \raggedright\@author
      \end{tabular}\par}%
   \end{minipage}}}}%
  \par
  }
\makeatother

\newcommand{\corauthor}[4]{\author[#4]{#1$^*$}\affil[#4]{#3}\correspondence{#1\newline #2}}

\begin{document}

\title{Journal Title}
\author[1]{First author}
\affil[1]{address one}
\corauthor{Junli Liu}{corresponding address}{address two}{2}
\author[3]{Third author}
\author[2]{Fourth author with same affil as corresponding one}
\affil[3]{address three}

\maketitle

\end{document}

So instead of writing \author[1,corauthor,coraddress={corresponding address here}]{Junli Liu}, you would have to write \corauthor{Junli Liu}{corresponding address}{address two}{2} with this solution. The arguments of the command \corauthor are first the author's name, second the author's corresponding address, third the author's normal address, and fourth the index of the author's affiliation. As you can see in the example code, you can then use this index to refer to the same (normal) affiliation for other authors as well (e.g., for the fourth author in the code above).
