Read authors from file Parbox had some problems with alignment, the varwidth package and \author{\begin{varwidth}{\linewidth}\centering\authors@final@list\end{varwidth}} worked perfectly though. |

Read authors from file This is awesome, thanks! :) By the way, an easier solution than overwriting maketitle would be \author{\parbox{\linewidth}{\centering\authors@final@list}}%, right? Bonus is, this works with scrartcl too. The adjusted version (which also supports fallback value as a 2nd argument) is here: github.com/dbrgn/texutils/blob/master/authorsfromfile.tex |

Read authors from file Thanks for your effort, I'll accept your answer :) Two details I noted: It doesn't cut off the part inside the parentheses (but that wasn't strictly required) and if the author list is too long, it gets cut off. I worked around that by using \\ as a separator, but a generic approach that would work with commas too would be nicer. Also, I think it would probably be cleaner to simply "return" the text to be used inside \author, so that the user could still process it, don't you think? |

Read authors from file This looks nice, but the requirement of LaTeX3 is a disadvantage, as many people still use Texlive2009 (which afaik doesn't ship LaTeX packages). |

Read authors from file Thanks for the answer, this looks interesting. I guess this wouldn't work if the contributors have middle names (like John Michael Doe (jmdoe), right? Would there be a fix for that? (Sorry for not clarifying that from the beginning...) |

Read authors from file @EthanBolker Thanks, that's a very good point that I totally forgot about :) Still, if there is a native TeX solution that would be nice. |

Distribute LaTeX Package with Document @Herbert oh, it worked by putting the *.sty files (there were two of them) directly in my project root. But as far as I know, a package can also contain other files besides *.sty, is that right? Is there a way to keep package files together in a directory, instead of adding all of them to the current directory? In any case, if you put this information in a proper answer, I'll accept it :) |

Distribute LaTeX Package with Document @Herbert that sounds like the perfect solution, but it doesn't seem to work. I added a "texmf" folder to the project folder that looks like this: hastebin.com/xeciramafe.txt Any clue about why it isn't working? (It works if I place that folder in my homedir) |
