authblktitles
I'm currently using authblk to typeset authors and corresponding affiliation(s) in a proceeding article, one of the authors has no affiliation.
Commands are the following:
\author[*]{Name1}
\author[**]{Name2}
\author{Name3}
\affil[*]{Dept #1}
\affil[**]{Dept #1}
However, the package does not recognize that Name3 has no affiliation, and it's typeset like it's affiliated with Dept #1.
How should I modify the autlblk package to overcome this?
I would rather patch the authblk package that you are using as follows:
\documentclass[11pt]{article}
\makeatletter
\usepackage{authblk}
\def\@author{}
\renewcommand\@author{\ifx\AB@affillist\AB@empty\AB@author\else
\ifnum\value{affil}>\value{Maxaffil}\def\rlap##1{##1}%
\AB@authlist \\*[0.3cm]On behalf of a great Team!\\[\affilsep]\AB@affillist
\else \AB@authors\fi\fi}
\makeatother
\title{Brief Article}
\author[1]{author1}
\author[1]{author2}
\affil[1]{Institute of Nowhere}
\author[2]{author3}
\affil[2]{Institute of Somewhere}
\begin{document}
\maketitle
\end{document}
Adjust spacing etc to suit!
You can (ab)use the \title field:
\documentclass[10pt, conference, compsocconf, letterpaper]{IEEEtran}
\pagestyle{plain}
\newcommand\Mark[1]{\textsuperscript{#1}}
\usepackage{amsmath}
\usepackage{amsthm}
\usepackage{graphicx}
\usepackage{color}
\usepackage{amssymb}
\usepackage[draft]{fixme}
\usepackage{soul}
\begin{document}
\title{Paper Title\\[.75ex]
{\normalfont\large
Author 1\Mark{x,z}, Author 1\Mark{y}, Author 3\Mark{z}%
}\\[-1.5ex]
}
\author{
\IEEEauthorblockA{%
\Mark{x}University X\\
Country of X%
}
\and
\IEEEauthorblockA{%
\Mark{y}University Y\\
Country of Y%
}
\and
\IEEEauthorblockA{%
\Mark{z}University Z\\
Country of Z%
}
}
\maketitle
\end{document}
If you are writing for a journal, this decission will be discarded anyway.

Just put a single space as the marker for author 3 (you need the space, not just
[]).
