titlestwo-column
I just want a standard title then commence a 2 column page – but when I use this code it puts it all on the next page (as it inserts a newpage). How can I un-insert the new page OR put the title in in another way.
\documentclass[11pt,twoside,a4paper,twocolumn]{article}
\begin{document}.
\twocolumn[{%
\centering
\LARGE The Title \\[1.5em]
\large Author: Anton van der Vegt\\[1em]
\normalsize
}]`enter code here`
The dual title in twocolumn mode causes the page breaks. Perhaps you'd just be interested in setting the title manually. Below I've taken the \maketitle constructions from the titling package code:
\documentclass[twocolumn]{article}
\usepackage{lipsum}% Just for this example
\begin{document}
\twocolumn[{
\begin{center}
\LARGE First title
\end{center}
\vskip 2em
\begin{center}
\large \lineskip .75em%
\begin{tabular}[t]{c}
Author1, Author2
\end{tabular}\par
\end{center}
\begin{center}
\large \today
\end{center}
\vspace{2\baselineskip}
\begin{center}
\LARGE Second title
\end{center}
\vskip 2em
\begin{center}
\large \lineskip .75em%
\begin{tabular}[t]{c}
Author1, Author2
\end{tabular}\par
\end{center}
\begin{center}
\large \today
\end{center}
}]
\lipsum[1-5]
\end{document}
You can now adjust the spacing and font to your liking.
Can you please try with:
\documentclass[final,5p,times]{elsarticle}
and you don't need to modify the template with:
\twocolumn[
\begin{@twocolumnfalse} \begin{frontmatter}
I have just checked the documentation on http://mirrors.ibiblio.org/CTAN/macros/latex/contrib/elsarticle/doc/elsdoc.pdf and according to the doc (page 2) 5p is always two column style.

I'm not sure what's wrong with
If you really want to format differently the title, it works without problems:
