I'm practicing LaTeX with IEEEtran.cls. I'm am slowly filling in the information, but I am getting stuck from the beginning.
\documentclass[12pt, journal, compsoc]{IEEEtran}
\begin{document}
\title{ This is my practice document}
\author{Yui}
\begin{abstract}
Abstract content goes here.
\end{abstract}
\end{document}
From the above simple .tex file, after compilation in the PDF, I can see the Abstract content. However, I don't see either title or author.
I found that there are two things that I found are necessary to make the IEEEtran class compile:
bibi.bib) file.If either of these two things is not the case, I also get the same LaTeX Error: Something's wrong--perhaps a missing \item error. Bizarrely, with a single citation it works for me, but after commenting it out it crashes again.
The apparent reason for this is that the IEEEtran class doesn't like empty bibliographies and can't deal with that. I haven't been able to find an underlying reason for that, though, nor a way to fix it.
Contrary to what the documentation says, it seems that \IEEEpubidadjcol has to be issued also in the first column.
\documentclass[journal, a4paper]{IEEEtran}
\usepackage{lipsum} % for mock text
\title{Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, consectetur adipiscing elit}
\author{Martin Drozdik%
\thanks{Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, consectetur adipiscing elit. Aliquam eleifend
orci eros, ac volutpat mauris molestie at. Sed auctor, diam eu tempor blandit}%
\thanks{Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, consectetur adipiscing elit. Aliquam eleifend

}
\markboth{IEEE Transactions on Evolutionary Computation}{}
\begin{document}
\maketitle

\lipsum[1-2]

To output the title and author of a document using
IEEEtran.cls(and in almost all LaTeX classes) is produced by the\maketitlecommand.
