[Tex/LaTex] Omitting the date when using \maketitle

datetimetitles

I'm using the \author and \title commands to produce a title with \maketitle. I also know that there is a \date command to specify the date of my work. However, if I omit \date, \maketitle will produce the current date. How do I achieve that no date is displayed at all?

\documentclass{article}

\author{Author, A.}
\title{Alpha}

\begin{document}

\maketitle

Some text.

\end{document}

If you want a blank date, just use \date{}.

If you want to remove the spacing altogether where the date usually goes, look into using the titling package, or else the mechanisms provided by your document class, depending on what it is.
