Dear all,

I am experiencing a problem with the authors formatting in latex. One of my papers have 4 authors, I set \numberofauthors{4} But all the authors are rendered on the same line (like if it was only 3), resulting in the 4th author ending up outside the page. How do i fix this, so that authors n3 and 4 are rendered below authors 1 and 2?

Thanks,  
Raul

Hello Raul,

I had a similar issue - the reason was my authors affiliation info are too much - I simplified them and it works. Not sure whether this is your case?

I’m not in front of my computer, but as far as I remember you have to uncomment a line with the `\and` command to spam a second line.

The NIME template contains the information between second and third authors.
