How can one align multiple authors without the need of using additional packages such as authblck
? Can this be done by altering \@author
?
Take for example the following working examples:
MWE
\documentclass{report}
\title{My MWE}
\author{This~is~my~Name \and This~is~my~author \and My~other~coauthor \and My~Last coauthor}
\begin{document}
\maketitle
\end{document}
The output is (where the wrong aligment can be slightly seen, see the last author alignment with respect to the others):
If one of the first three names is longer, the wrong alignment is more evident:
EDIT:
Important note: The solution must be transparent to the person making a document, I am in sort of the creation of my own class, the user of the class will still use something like \author{This~is~my~Name \and This~is~my~author \and My~other~coauthor \and My~Last coauthor}
.
