I am using llncs class, and I would like to separately manipulate title and the names of the authors. That is, title would be where it already is by default, and text about authors and email/institution information would be placed somewhere left on the page. It is not a CV, just a specific article formatting.
For instance, I would like to have something like this:
\documentclass{llncs}
\title{Title}
\author{Author One{1} \and Author Two\inst{2}}
\institute{Institution One \email{email at something}
\and
Institution Two \email{another @ something}}
\begin{document}
% just title here? outside of the table
\maketitle
\begin{tabular}{l | r}
% here I would like to have details about authors and institutions
\author{...}
&
%this is the abstract and keywords part
\begin{abstract}
%abstract content
\keywords{keyword1, keyword2}
\end{abstract}
\end{tabular}
\end{document}
I was thinking of maybe redefining \maketitle
, that was already redefined in llncs. Yet, I am not that good at low-level LaTeX and I have difficulties with this approach. Every attempt results in a document that is not compiling.
This is output for \makeatletter\meaning\@maketitle\makeatother
:
macro:->\newpage \markboth {}{}\def \lastand {\ifnum \value {@inst}=2\relax
\unskip {} \andname \Ӏ\else \unskip \lastandname \Ӏ\fi }\def \and {\stepco-
unter {@auth}\relax \ifnum \value {@auth}=\value {@inst}\lastand \else \un-
skip , \fi }\begin {center}\let \newline \\ {\Large \bfseries \boldmath \preto-
lerance =10000 \@title \par }\vskip .8cm \if !\@subtitle !\else {\large \bfseries
\boldmath \vskip -.65cm \pretolerance =10000 \@subtitle \par }\vskip .8cm\fi
\setbox 0=\vbox {\setcounter {@auth}{1}\def \and {\stepcounter {@auth}}\def
\thanks ##1{}\@author }\global \value {@inst}=\value {@auth}\global \va-
lue {auco}=\value {@auth}\setcounter {@auth}{1}{\lineskip .5em \noindent
\ignorespaces \@author \vskip .35cm} {\small \institutename } \end {center}
For example, I have tried:
\def\@maketitle{\newpage
\markboth{}{}%
\begin{center}%
\let\newline\\
{\Large \bfseries\boldmath
\pretolerance=10000
\@title \par}\vskip .8cm
\if!\@subtitle!\else {\large \bfseries\boldmath
\vskip -.65cm
\pretolerance=10000
\@subtitle \par}\vskip .8cm\fi
\end{center}%
}
This is compiling, though, but not working. Authors and institutes are again displayed together with title.
Is there maybe some other approach to separately manipulate title and authors&email&institutions?

I would suggest not using
\maketitle
and setting the components of the title separately:
